Dear Colleagues, in case it is useful, a bookmarkable list of various paleobotany🌿 resources I’ve been involved with that are freely available online but may be hard to find. [cont.]

I'm currently writing a full grant proposal (the PI asked me to), and I feel like I'm wasting time that could be spent working on what I'm actually being paid for… my plant fossils. It is depressing!

🤨🤨🤨

Reviewer 13! 😱 #palaeobotany

Scientists, artists, and educators now have free access to more than 2000 high-resolution 3D ant models covering most ant genera, created from micro-CT scans. Read more about the revolutionary Antscan project in a new @naturemethods study @EconomoLab oist.jp/news-center/ne…

@CStrulluDerrien @CIBIO_InBIO @IdlLuiz @U_Madeira Thanks a lot Christine!

@CGoisMarques @CIBIO_InBIO @IdlLuiz @U_Madeira Very nice paper, Carlos!

@barix10 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@CGoisMarques The paper after the 13 reviewers' input 🤣

@barix10 🤣me too! imagine receive such massive reviews 😱

@CGoisMarques 🫠🫠🫠🫠 I hope it is the 13th because there were 11 previous ones who declined the review, and not because the paper will have 13 different opinions 😆

This is why, during my master’s, I decided to use a personal Gmail account as my main professional email, which I still use today. science.org/content/articl…

The Palaeontological Association has written to the President of the University of Leicester, requesting that the concerns of the PhD community over the planned redundancy of their supervisors are addressed. [1/3]

First paper by Cristi for her PhD thesis: 🌋🌵 Velasco-Flores & al. in press | Life-position succulent #Euphorbia L. fossils buried in #Pleistocene explosive volcanic deposits from #Tenerife, Canary Islands, #Spain | RPP: doi.org/10.1016/j.re... #openaccess #Palaeobotany

I believe papers about extinct charismatic vertebrates should be held to the same publishing standards & norms as other groups. It's bizarre that papers describing a single species gets published in Science/Nature as if that's considered of broad paleobiological significance lol

A first for CJAS: Today we rejected a manuscript because several of the cited sources were fictitious, suggesting they had been "found" using AI. They seemed perfectly plausible and were claimed to be in reputable journals. This is not only lazy but unethical. Don't do it!

Thrilled to announce that I’ve just become Associate Editor of Historical Biology journal @HistBiol! :) #Palaeobotany #oceanicisland

Many young people seem to think that an academic career is a great idea in 2026. This is your periodic reminder that a lot of people (often in an invisible manner) serve the system as cheap labour until they are exhausted and fall out. When choosing a career, do not look at how well the top 1% do. It is likely you won't be in the top 1%. Look at how well the median person does. You may not care about having a high income and lots of employment opportunities when you are 19 or 21... but by the time you are 31 or 41, you may feel differently. Importantly: watch where the crowd is going, and DO NOT necessarily follow. Economics dictate that your conditions are likely better if you go where the supply of jobs far exceeds the demand for jobs. Also, make sure you get good sources of information. Do not trust the ads and the often repeated mantras. Look for hard facts. Be critical. Have beers with people who speak the truth. Pay attention to details.

Thousands of scientists inflate their CVs with self-published studies that cost millions of dollars of public money 1 in 8 'special issues' is filled with articles written by the editor, particularly at the publisher MDPI @manuelansede english.elpais.com/science-tech/2…
