But a massive thankyou to the people who did undertake the reviews, it takes a lot of time to do these reviews and I found mine very helpful.

Missed out on an ARC Future Fellowship, despite being scored an A by all three assessors. It's a reminder to not read too much into the detailed assessor reports. If my experience is not an unusual one, it appears they don't count for much.

I am happy to share my final PhD chapter in @oikosjournal.bsky.social

The 2019–20 wildfires altered vegetation structure yet had little effect on most species’ relative abundance. However, several species shifted their diel activity in burnt landscapes.

"The Albanese government will launch a lobbying campaign in a bid to reverse a Unesco recommendation that an ancient rock art site in Western Australia can’t go on the world heritage list until damaging industrial emissions linked to a controversial Woodside gas development are stopped."

There's a few more days until applications close for this PhD project. The project would involve working with my group to help test ideas about fire naivety, using lizards. It would involve a mix of field work and behavioral trials www.ecolsoc.org.au/opportunitie...

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

Just received an email saying that it's not advisable to include the following words in future applications for research funding to the US DOT. Here we are.
1.         Climate change
2.         Greenhouse gas emissions
3.         Emissions
4.         Racial equity
5.         Gender identity
6.         Diversity, equity and inclusion
7.         Environmental justice
8.         Justice40 initiative

Australian governments are failing to conserve biodiversity, meaning their extraordinary values are being lost and global conservation targets will likely fail. The next federal government must do better.
