"Drawing on an analysis of over 100000 articles in ecology-related disciplines [...], we show that the shift to pay-to-publish OA has already reduced participation by researchers from many middle-income countries." nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Payment‐based open access is biasing scientific participation from the Global South in ecology

Opening access to the products of scientific research is widely considered a key step toward both fairness and better science worldwide. Since the 1990s, different forms of open access (OA) to journa...

ISBE2026 has come to an end! Over the past week we've shared exciting science, inspiring discussions, and started new collaborations. We hope all our delegates leave Turin energized by the unique atmosphere that only this city can offer, with fresh perspectives and lasting memories of ISBE2026.

A study on what many of us already know: over 75% of internal service work in academia is done by women. The bit that gets me:”The male associate professors in particular made it clear that they actively engaged in evasiveness and did not want to participate if it was not positive for their careers”

Women end up doing the academic housework

Facing federal science budget cuts, biologist Daniel Blumstein resorted to uploading marmot videos to OnlyFans to raise funds for his marmot research. However, when he uploaded his driver’s license for verification, OnlyFans informed him that his appearance didn’t match the marmots in the videos.

‘OnlyMarms’: Marmots Are on OnlyFans to Raise Money for Research (Gift Article)

A team of scientists uploaded videos of the squirrel-like rodents in the wild on the adult-content site OnlyFans to raise money amid government budget cuts.

New paper! We use simulations to test received wisdom on the observational sampling method to use and find that Altmann 1974 was right all along (never bet against Jeanne!).

"The EU saved $60 billion (€51.4 billion) in 2025 by lowering fossil fuel imports, according to a report by the International Energy Agency (IEA). Investing in renewables has also set Europe up well to handle the energy price shocks from the US-Israel and Iran war."🌎 www.euronews.com/2026/05/30/c...

EU saved over €50 billion in 2025 by lowering fossil fuel imports

Investing in renewables has also ensured greater energy security at a moment when the war on Iran is destabilising supplies and forcing up costs.
