That time of year again! If you'd like an example of job apps in academia or industry, here's a good resource. If you got a job in industry or academia in the last few years, please consider adding yours! github.com/RILAB/statem...
My friend Ben wrote this extremely cool paper that looks incredibly useful: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Super excited to share this new paper in Ecology, where we explore the bioenergetic trade-offs of mammalian trophic interactions and resulting selective pressures on size evolution across the Cenozoic ๐ฆฃ๐

Pursuit and evasion dynamics are a general phenomenon observed in predator–prey interactions
across terrestrial, aquatic, and aerial domains. Diffe...
Body size constrains trophic interactions, shaping the feasibility of species' populations. Over macroevolutionary timescales, these constraints feed back to shape selection on body size and diet. We...

Reptiles with longer Wikipedia pages tend to be bigger. The relationship is a power law with exponent = 0.85. I guess humans really like writing about big lizards? The longest article is the Komodo Dragon.

Yoooo new allometric food web parameters dropped: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Allometry is central to a wide range of ecological research including dynamic food web modelling. Here we updated the often neglected allometric coefficients for metabolism and production, deriving n...
Sharing this screen grab from a friend at NIH (with permission).
This is a checklist program officers have to complete before a grant can be awarded.
The first question: "Is this grant All Clean/Clear in the NIH Text analysis Tool?"

The National Science Foundation is terminating and suspending grants again, and at Grant Witness we need you to help to track them! ๐งช
We can only identify research being suppressed by under-the-radar suspensions directly from researchers. Please report! grant-witness.us/posts/2026-0... #NSF
UC Berkeley Law creates new AI policy that bans AI for "conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitted for credit" or exams because "thinking remains the sine qua non of good lawyering (and of a quality legal education)."
That's what I'm talking about.
