Something BIG has happened. Dear academic world, it is my huge honour to introduce the freshly awarded Dr. Franziska Koch.
Franzi was the first PhD student student in my #ecoevo #modelling team. Yesterday, she defended her thesis about „the paradox of the bryozoans“ with ease and glory. Congratulations, Franzi!!!

It is a pleasure to see Charles Darwin's original signature in the Charter Book of Fellows of the Royal Society of London, signed in January 1839 (two years after his return from the Beagle voyage)

Heads-up: online registration is now open for the next @gfoe meeting!
It will take place in Würzburg in the first week of September. I'm planning to come with my whole #ecoevo team, so you can expect some really cool talks about #TheoreticalEcology, #EcologicalNetworks and #EcoEvoFeedback.
Who else is coming? We would love to get in touch!
Big announcement: Dimitrios Nakos (@nakdim) and Rémi Legrand have both recently joined the #ecoevo #modelling team as doctoral researchers! Welcome!
Yesterday, the whole group came together for the first time, so we had to take a new group picture. I think it turned out even better than the one from last year..
"Data access should be determined by participant consent not researcher gatekeeping"
For the sharing of genomic data, the key is not to ban access to research, but to give real space to the consent of individuals.

HUGE milestone reached today! This is the first ever #PhDThesis from our #ecoevo #modelling team. And it is such a fascinating story, full of new insights into the forces that (de-)stabilise (ecological) interaction #networks! Congratulations Franzi!!! What a crazy ride this has been…
New research suggests that fires were more common during the Devonian than previously thought, implying that atmospheric O₂ levels were also higher than previously estimated - Glasspool & Gastaldo #GSAPublications
The patience, meticulousness and dedicated time of our technicians are essential in our research! Here is one of them, Martín, in Jaime's experiment with Anthyllis cytisoides at CIEF (GV) facilities, Valencia (Spain)

Two new student-led #evobio #popgen #ecoevo #mathonco preprints!
1. Preventing Evolutionary Rescue in Cancer
2. Selective sweep probabilities in spatially expanding populations
Both tick all my boxes for exciting research: Interesting theoretical results
Sophisticated mathematics
Important biological implications

Chemical engineer by training and profession. Spent my last working decade in the network and transport layers, plus security architecture. Retired now.
Never used the bird, ran from the faceplant and tightly constrain other social. Watched #Explore here for a bit and found interesting and welcoming positivity. Hoping to find a community to exchange and discuss ideas.
Fan of science fiction and original research in mammalian biology, microbiology and systems/network biology.
About using #citation impact measures to estimate the importance of scientific #publications:
"All metrics of scientific #evaluation are bound to be abused. Goodhart's law [...] states that when a feature of the economy is picked as an indicator of the economy, then it inexorably ceases to function as that indicator because people start to game it."

Where did this lead to? Recruitment into business for #bioinspiredcomputing
#introduction: I'm a scientist at #CSIC, Spain, interested in the #ecology & #evolution of fire-prone #ecosystems, & more generally, in disturbance ecology. I aim to understanding the role of #fire and other #disturbances in shaping species, populations, #communities, #landscapes, #biomes, & the #biosphere.

I am a junior research group leader for #ecoevo #modelling at the University of Hohenheim in Germany.
We study all kinds of #EcologicalNetworks. We want to know how such networks are structured, how they maintain their balance and how they respond to #globalchange. We approach these questions from a theoretical point of view, using computer simulations and mathematics.
