This is really unfortunate... ICESJMS no longer accepting pre-printed articles. 'exclusive' high-quality content = pay to publish? academic.oup.com/icesjms/arti... @icesmarine.bsky.social

If you have ever thought 'I wish I could track individuals in real-time' or 'this tracker runs too slow on my laptop' or 'I want to remove observer bias in my study' or 'how could I automatise my setup?', then you'd like this project 👇 @asab.org @ceiussi.bsky.social @iussi-nwes.bsky.social

Our latest #research with @ccioannou.bsky.social has been published in @commsbio.bsky.social ! Read here 👉 rdcu.be/d9J2u We used real-time tracking and a robot-heron to investigate how state-behaviour #feedbacks influence anti-predator #escape responses in #fish 🐟.

Such a fun project led by really talented and passionate people! If you want a free, user-friendly tracking option (live and post-hoc) check out TracktorLive! doi.org/10.64898/202... @rasmusern.bsky.social @jutfelt.bsky.social @tnorin.bsky.social @shaunkillen.bsky.social @zegnitriki.bsky.social

Oxygen supersaturation has been reported to protect aquatic animals from heat waves. We tested this in a large collaborative experiment on many species of fish and crustaceans. Our new paper in @plosbiology.org shows that the effect of hyperoxia on thermal tolerance is negligible. Unfortunately.

The 1st Canadian Conference on #OpenScience and #OpenScholarship is happening October 9 -10, 2025! PKP, @erudit.org, and #CoalitionPublica are pleased to be partner contributors to this event. Livestreaming will be on! Details: oscanada.github.io/en/ #OSCanada #CanadaSky #AcademicChatter

Our latest #SORTEE-led paper is out now in #ProcB! We reviewed data/code-sharing policy clarity, strictness & timing across 275 EcoEvo journals We also worked with #ProcB & #EcologyLetters to assess initial compliance with sharing mandates. Huge team effort! 👉 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

🔧 Moving Forward Clearer, accessible data/code-sharing policies are key. Researchers, journals, and institutions must collaborate. Recruiting dedicated data editors can help ensure compliance and improve quality. 🔗 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

📣 Hot off the press at #ProcB! 🔍 Our study checked data/code-sharing policies in 275 eco/evo journals and compliance in Proc B (n=2,340) & Ecology Letters (n=571). Policies exist, but clarity and strictness vary, affecting reproducibility. 🔗 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

~10 years after the experiments, the paper is finally ready 😅😅 Take home: nothing beats patient collaborators 😆 Thanks @josefin-sundin.bsky.social @BenSpeers-Roesch @itchyshin.bsky.social @TimClark @SandraBinning!! #OceanAcidification #AnimalBehaviour #OpenScience ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

Our report on the engagement on the tri-agency data deposit requirement is out! Huge thanks to members of the research community who participated and provided helpful input! Disponible en français et en anglais. #RDM #GDR science.gc.ca/site/science...

Come see us in Montréal, Canada, for #Metascience2027!! 🥳🥳🥳 Big announcement at #metascience2025 today!

Great to see CIHR's Alison Bourgon discussing research excellence, new funding to support research on research in Canada, and opportunities to consider multiple ways of knowing in metascience. #metascience2025

'Data is really the topic of the day' - Maria Leptin, President ERC at #metascience2025 👏👏👏👏

Happy Canada day from the Canadian contingent at #Metascience2025!

Shout out to SORTEE @sortee.bsky.social by @fidlerfm.bsky.social during the morning plenary at #metascience2025 👏👏

Coming to #Metascience2025? Make sure to visit our stall for a chat and some swag! We are also gathering your ideas for our introductory course on RRA - what do you think is essential to cover in a course on responsible research assessment basics? Contribute at bit.ly/DORA-Course!

Proud of Canada's Federal Granting Agencies for sending a large contingent to #metascience2025! Below, Matthew Lucas from SSHRC presenting our work to advance #openscience, metaresearch, and responsible research assessment.

What a pleasant surprise to meet a fellow SORTEE @sortee.bsky.social member at #metascience2025! Thanks Zuzanna Zagrodska for reaching out at the coffee break. Soon, @anticac.bsky.social to join too!

#Metascience2025 quote of the day: 'Changing a university is like moving a graveyard. It's very challenging and don't expect any help from within!'

If you're at #Metascience2025, did you realise that @plosbiology.org has a specific article type, the Meta-Research Article, for #metascience? Have a chat to our meta-research editor @roliroberts.bsky.social and check out the 73 articles that we've published over the years: plos.io/3I4avRL

Reminder to get in touch if you would like to meet fellow #metascience2025 attendees with ties to Canada! Pls share

Massive crowd for the #metascience2025 kickoff at UCL in London. @jameswilsdon.bsky.social as energetic as ever as he welcomes the 800+ delegates here!

If you’re in London and interested in metascience-y things, there’s more going on than just the official conference! Please help spread the word! #metascience2025

Are you attending #Metascience2025 in London next week and do you have a Canadian affiliation (past or present)? If you would like to meet up with other colleagues with links to Canada for an informal get together, get in touch with me: DM or dominique.roche[at]sshrc-crsh.gc.ca

🚨Preprint alert!🚨 We found that relevant levels of aquatic oxygen supersaturation do not always offer protective benefits to aquatic ectotherms during acute warming. 🌡️ Big collaborative project with A LOT of CTmax trials!!! ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

New paper coins the "Gollum effect" in reference to systemic territoriality in academia, behaviour that is anthitetical to scientific collaboration, resource sharing, and open knowledge exchange. Check out the stats! Most respondents from #ecoevo www.cell.com/one-earth/fu...

How do fish evolve to tolerate higher temperatures, and are there trade-offs? We explore these questions in our new paper @natclimate.nature.com led by Anna Andreassen @annahandreassen.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧪🐟🦑

Thanks to the more than *1100* members of the scientific community who have signed the letter to insist that the Royal Society remains true to values that we all hold dear but that Musk FRS has ridden roughshod over. Please keep signing & sharing. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Scandinavian scientists seem to have some of the best work-life balance, Chinese scientists some of the worst, as measured by who submits their papers and peer reviews to the BMJ late at night, on weekends, and holidays😅 www.bmj.com/content/367/...

Just renewed my @sortee.bsky.social membership for 2025 🎉. Have you?! If you do environmental science but don't know about sortee.org, check it out and consider joining!

This Registered Report masterpiece just dropped at BMC Biology, brilliantly led by a great team with the help of 300+ analysts & reviewers Same question, same data: go figure! tl;dr: Substantial heterogeneity among results comes from differences among analytical choices 🔗 doi.org/10.1186/s129...

Sounds familiar @jutfelt.bsky.social ?! Observations on different actors in the research ecosystem by @stephaniemlee.bsky.social in her talk on research misconduct at #PSE7.

Neat tools to support error prevention/detection/correction presented by @ianhussey.bsky.social at #PSE7.

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

This ought to have been the first slide of many conferences that I've attended, but at least here it's what we all actually came for. #PSE7

Never too early to start attending a PhD defense! Apparently, scatter plots can be as captivating as Bluey 😂

Modern scientific publishing puts too much significance on the journal's perceived prestige and not on the quality of the science. This author went so far as to remove journal titles from their CV. Would you do the same? #SciPub #AcademicSky 🧪
