Delighted that @livingnorway.bsky.social has received a @sortee.bsky.social Commendation Award! (@audhalbritter.bsky.social, @ebnilsen.bsky.social & Chloé Nater)
Open science takes practical skills and a supportive community. Lovely to see this shared effort recognised.

A nice little meeting on the dog walk this evening. Sorry for the poor quality video.

An interesting thread, zoonoses seem remote and unnatural, yet we lived with that reality and many humans still do, malaria is gone from UK, but Lyme has increased, Otzi the Iceman (lived 5,300 years ago) had Lyme, I've had it.

@shreyadimri.bsky.social et al. “Meta-analysts must lead by example and embrace all FAIR principles”

We assessed meta-analyses in ecology, evolution & environmental sciences for methodological & reporting quality, data/code sharing, and data FAIRness.

"Is plastic pollution getting worse?" It's the question we get asked more than any other. After 15 years of data from Lord Howe Island, we finally have a straight answer. 🧵

Meta-analysts ask researchers to share reusable data, but are we leading by example? Great work by @shreyadimri.bsky.social, @asanchez-tojar.bsky.social & more.

Of 81 meta-analyses, 68% shared data, only 15% shared code, and none reported a risk-of-bias assessment.

We didn’t get a summer this year!

Autumn has started earnest.
