Delighted to have shared a moment of scientific exchange with Ed Yong in #Tucson, a luminary in science writing and journalism, was both enlightening and inspiring. A truly enriching experience! #ScienceCommunication #ScienceJournalism

Nice paper by my colleague "How many species are there on Earth? Progress and problems" by John J. Wiens #biodiversity #ecology #biosphere https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.3002388
Global calamity will more likely come from combination of bad software/code/incompetence than from some diabolical global cabal and plan

We suggest a conceptual & theoretical basis for ecological resilience that integrates macroecology with a stochastic diffusion approximation constrained by principles of biological symmetry. This approach provides an alternative novel framework for studying ecological resilience in the Anthropocene
For those unit enthusiasts out there... did you know that several fundamental units were redefined? Four of the seven SI base units were redefined in terms of natural physical constants rather than human artifacts, such as the standard kilogram https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_redefinition_of_the_SI_base_units

Intensifying ecological disturbances pose significant challenges to our predictive capabilities. We suggest a conceptual and theoretical basis for ecological resilience that integrates macroecology with a stochastic diffusion approximation constrained by principles of biological symmetry
@senzilla@fosstodon.org beautiful. Where is this?
