Had a dream last night that I was giving a tour to people around my newly built lab, and I spent lots of time passionately showing off a pipette stand with three multichannel pipettes on it - all black and all 3D printed from designs that I downloaded online for free. Why it was only a dream?!?! 🥲🧪

when an army of AI illustrators take down the domain of digital illustration – the rise of the works on paper will finally come ;)

This isn't the first time that @journalofecology.bsky.social used AI-generated art.
It's disappointing to see an ECOLOGY journal use a system that directly and negatively affects the environment
The last time they posted AI work, they were called out - yet they still haven't listened

✅ Do you use R or Python?
✅ Are you an ecologist/biologist?
Then you might find our website ALA Labs useful!
ALA Labs is full of how-to articles to visualise or analyse biodiversity data. Some are for beginners, others are advanced/experimental 😀
