Sarcozona resumes her series of interviews from last year's ESA Meeting (better late than never!) with a chat with plant population ecologist Julian Mulroy from the ESA Historical Records Committee.

A blog about scientific blogging

Just found Science of Blogging , a blog about scientific blogging. Includes interviews with scientists who blog and use other forms of social media, discussions of interesting issues like blogging as a form of post-publication peer review, and links to blog posts of...

Another ecology & evolution blog you should be reading

Just found Mousetrap , a very interesting blog about the history and philosophy of ecology and evolution. Lots of thought-provoking tidbits based on close reading of people who nowadays we (and that "we" includes me) mostly know only through textbook caricatures:...

Wiley did a couple of short (2 min.) video interviews with me at the ESA meeting; the videos are now online here and here . The first one is about the ESA meeting. In retrospect, if I'd known the video wouldn't be up until after the meeting, I'd have suggested...

Ecology interviews

Sarcozona interviewed a number of ecologists at the ESA meeting; the post on her first interview (with grad student and blogger Aaron Berdanier) is now up , with more to follow. She's elected to go with a summary format rather than question-and-answer, which seems like...
