UK's media connection to facts and speaking truth to power is increasingly tenuous. Latest example: line saying Trump is corrupt was censored from the Reith lecture by @rutgerbregman.com and BBC journalists aren't allowed to quote the line.

Great looking PhD offer with @laurajanegraham.bsky.social assessing the importance of Miyawaki ‘Tiny forests’ for biodiversity. There's a paper due out soon in @jappliedecology.bsky.social that calls for more robust assessments of the Miyawaki method, so good to see projects aiming to fill this gap!

I am recruiting one or two new Ph.D. students to work on theory and its integration with data in the areas of forest dynamics, species coexistence, or plant community ecology more generally.
