The Thermal Ecology Alliance is growing rapidly and we are now at 51 countries! Join here: www.thermalecologyalliance.org/participation

Want to join a global 🌎 initiative to test the thermal limits of 🐟 using standardised approach? Led by @patricepottier.bsky.social, we are planning a globally distributed experiment to collect data on fish embryonic heat tolerance 🌡️. Make this experiment global! 🔗: www.thermalecologyalliance.org

Excited to announce that Eli Garcia-Pelegrin and I are co-editing a special collection for Animal Cognition on "Social Cognition in a Human World". Do you study how urbanization, pollution, heat stress, fragmentation, ... affects cognition? We want to hear from you! link.springer.com/collections/...

Very insighful piece on how to design and run cognitive experiments 🧠💡

Glad to see that academic publishers are being challenged, let's see what will come out of this. In the meanwhile, let's try to publish in society journals where profits go back into supporting our research community!

STAT@statnews.com · 2y ago

Researchers have sued six big academic publishers, arguing their practices are illegal and anticompetitive.
