"If there are no major flaws and the main results support the main conclusions, pivot to a constructive mindset. Peer review works best when it is rigorous without being punitive and critical without being adversarial."

I always thought peer-review is, before anything else, "community work" 🫣

Do you review papers? Check out Earl's @earlkmiller.bsky.social recommendations.

"It shows that theory crossovers do not consist in straightforward applications of a generally accepted version of evolutionary theory to non-biological phenomena, but must be understood differently. [...] crossovers of evolutionary theory involve a general style of thinking [...]" - haha jepp 🤫👍

New Cambridge Element in the Philosophy of Biology series—fully #openaccess! @thomasreydon.bsky.social explores how evolutionary theory crosses over from biology into other fields, showing how these crossovers embody a broader style of reasoning: 'evolutionary thinking' bit.ly/48z3h36 #HPbio #evosky
Book cover of “The Scope of Evolutionary Thinking” by Thomas A. C. Reydon, in the Cambridge Elements: The Philosophy of Biology series. Against a black background, the title is surrounded by Ernst Haeckel’s illustrations of marine organisms—radial, symmetrical forms in vivid blues, oranges, reds, and greens.

"Sie machen sich zum Anwalt für Bulgaren und Sozialmissbrauch", sagt Philipp Amthor zu @inesschwerdtner.bsky.social. Typisch für den aktuellen autoritären Sozialstaatsdiskurs.

Leber hätte auch recherchieren können, statt Mutmaßungen über die Gründe für die 2 Demos aufzustellen..

Oder mal mit denen sprechen, die seit 2 Jahren dazu forschen..

Oder mit den Organisator*innen der Demo..

Aber wozu braucht's schon Differenz, wenn's derselbe frame weiter tut 🤷

Ich halte das allgemeine Bedröppeltsein nicht mehr aus, ich halte die immer selben abgeschmackten „gegen rechts“-Parolen nicht mehr aus, ich halte es nicht mehr aus, wenn „Demokratie verteidigen“ der Höhepunkt der eigenen Phantasie ist, ich halte diese ewige ideenlose Defensive nicht aus.

Wie wunderbar! Ein Biopic über #MariaReiche und die #NazcaLinien - und dann auch noch ganz aktuell im Kino. Na, da kann der Herbst doch ruhig kommen. 😉

Es fühlt sich an wie Twilight Zone - vor 1 Jahr flippen alle aus, weil ich „Faschismus“ sage, jetzt tun alle so als hätten sie es immer gewusst und wüssten es besser.

After ten years, along with my co-founders and co-editors-in-chief @toriherridge.bsky.social and @mlaw.bsky.social, I am stepping down from the role of editor-in-chief of Open Quaternary. We're searching for someone who will be dedicated to continuing the success of the journal-could it be you?

Auch medial dauerexponierte Akteure, die sich selbst als mittig, gemäßigt, liberal zeichneten und den deutschen Diskursraum aktiv verzerrt haben, sich dabei selbst zentriert haben und damit zentrale Diskursplattformen für eine deliberative Debatte blockiert haben, tragen Verantwortung.
