Nice seminar by @antoineguisan.bsky.social from @unil.bsky.social at @usc.gal.
Thanks to @biogeography-usc.bsky.social for organizing it!!
I’m really concerned about early career scientists using generative AI in writing, because writing is how we think and reflect. There’s almost nothing *more* human than that, and to give that gift away to a machine is almost unconscionable to me
Academics in Assyria in the 7th c BC complain that admin is preventing them from doing research and teaching

Important thoughts about museums, extinct species, and all the biological diversity that is going extinct unnoticed (not even preserved as museum specimens)
Álvaro Pérez Gómez defendió ayer su tesis doctoral en la UCA. Ha sido fácil y fascinante trabajar con él; entre otras cosas, por su formación naturalista, que traía ya de su mentor desde pequeño: Íñigo Sánchez. Álvaro ha realizado este breve documental de su tesis:

Beetles have taken me a long way!
We have developed a new methodological framework to measure biodiversity.
We focus on the uniqueness (or singularity) of biological communities and apply it to the GBF 30x30 target.
If you only have 4:35 min, check the visual abstract to know a little bit more about it ☺️:

Evolutionary "hills" or "islands"? Very interesting new approach to measure the uniqueness of a biological community, with great potential use as baseline to identify high-value biodiversity sites at multiple scales.
