First Event Announcement
๐ March 5thโจโฐ 6 PM CET / 9 AM PST
Dawn of Cetology: The Scientific Pursuit of Whales, from Antiquities to the Twentieth Century
Out today in @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social our paper โSecond Thoughts about First Principles in Biology.โ www.cell.com/trends/ecolo... . We are in favour of first principles approaches in biology but we think that we need to do better in how we use them.
What do you do if THE top researchers in your field ask if they can use your published code to "stress test" your model results? ๐จ
You say: Go ahead! But you think: Nothing I can do about it, it's all out there now ๐
Anyway, this turned out to be a fun collaboration ๐งช: doi.org/10.1111/2041...

Reminder: a little over one week left to submit abstracts for the individualโbased conservation topical collection. Happy to chat if youโre considering contributing!
Whatever the level, we can tailor graphics to communicate your research to different audiences! These graphics both represent the same research but contain vastly different amounts of information.๐งช๐ก
