Yesterday I had to fix a bug in the Rogue Scholar registration form (a software regression that happened over the holidays related to database row level security). This was a reminder that registering a science blog with the Rogue Scholar science blog archive should be quick and painless. Today I made one change that hopefully simplifies registration: Ask for the blog homepage instead of the RSS feed URL.

These include invoice-like payment requests from a Diamond Open Access platform, editors switching their journal from Hybrid to Diamond Open Access, purchase offers for Diamond Open Access journals and the intention of the German Research Foundation DFG

Geoffrey Wilkinson first reported his famous work on the hydrogenation catalyst that now bears his name in 1965[1] and I met him at Imperial College around 1969 and again when I returned there in 1977.

If you’re interested in big ecological datasets, natural history, ecological forecasting, and predictive cross-scale ecology (like we are) then you should check out the upcoming Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Unifying Ecology Across Scales (July 28 – Aug 2) and the associated Gordon Research Seminar (GRS; July 27-28; a student/postdoc only conference that occurs before the larger conference).
