The University of South Florida is searching for a tenure-track plant biologist! Research may be field-based, lab-based, computational or theoretical and may range from the molecular to ecosystem scale. Please share! Full details (and to apply) at: gems.usf.edu:4440/psp/gemspro-ta…
New paper alert!✨ Assistant Professor @HannahOish from CMEC is co-author in a new study, showing that analytical code is rarely shared in scientific studies (6% of the publications reviewed), but open-code studies accumulate citations faster. Link 👇 t.ly/uLSr1
Good news, everyone! Our new paper, out now in @Ecol_Evol provides evidence that scientists can increase their citation rates by publicly sharing their code! Even better, you get a larger increase by meeting other #OpenScience criteria! @rOpenSci onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…
Boom. No way but up for open practices! 📈

Publishing code takes a bit more effort and can be scary. So why should you do it? 1) transparency 2) reproducibility ...and now also, 3) impact

I love this painting in my new lab space at @usfsp 🇺🇦🦏
Excited to announce that I'm starting a tenure-track faculty position in the Department of Integrative Biology at @usfsp ! Florida is home to some amazing ecosystems and is a great place to study multiple global change drivers. Also, I love the Gulf Coast climate!
