I should mention that this is a FSU Jena issue. My institute (iDiv) is very supportive in this matter and there might be a short-term solution within the institute

Sure, job center alread wants to see me on first Monday of the new year 8am 🫠

Hallo, ja bin Gewerkschaftsmitglied. Wird evtl erst eine kurzfristige Übergangslösung meines Instituts geben, und nächstes Jahr wird sich dann mit der Entscheidung der Verwaltung auseinandergesetzt.

Receiving emails
(1) a survey on our insititute's future scientific strategies
(2) IT letting me know my account will be deleted next month
on the same day sure feels weird

Here, we have to go back to fitting trophic-level combined biomasses and possibly can't fully resolve on species-level

I especially liked this project because it showed me some limits of what you can do with fitting ODE models. Even with time series from multiple diversity treatments, fitting a system with 3 rotifer, 4 algae & 1 nutrient state variables might not be possible.

and they found type-3-like functional responses 🥳

Good idea!
