I've received another little present from my group to celebrate the start of my maternity leave. Let it sink in. It's brilliant!!! 🤣

(This is especially true for #AcademicParents interested in #AdaptiveDynamics. Yes, I do realise that the target group is probably quite small, but this is so damn funny that I had to post it anyways. I recommend to read "The hitchhiker's guide to adaptive dynamics" in case you want to enjoy an excellent ecoevo/maths paper - see https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/33901766.pdf)

That’s it! Today was my last day in the office for about 4 months. Just a few more days of home office and then I’m ready to relax in the pool, waiting for the little one to arrive…🤰

I have to admit that it feels very weird to lock the door. But all my fantastic colleagues made sure I had a very special day, including a delicious group lunch and even a baby quiz! (The winner will get another group lunch in their honour - you can probably guess that we are really good at group lunches… 😉)

Time for a new group picture! This year we decided to do something calm and relaxing and went for an Alpaca trekking tour in Nürtingen. But then things kind of excalated. I think my group is the best.

Hey out there, just to share - I'm fortunate to have been offered (and I accepted) a new position, as Full Professor (🎉) at Université de Franche-Comté, in Besançon (France). It's been a professional dream of mine to join the French academic squad, and I finally managed (this was not easy).

Hit me up if I can be of any use on collaborative projects in freshwater ecology, eco-evolutionary dynamics, and statistical modelling in population and community ecology.

„Being a parent is a hidden scientific superpower“

Well, to be honest, I feel more like a whale than a super hero at the moment, but still, a lot of this resonates. I also think that being a parent makes me a better scientist - and vice versa!

BerLinguistin, to academia
@BerLinguistin@mas.to avatar

When reflecting on my PhD work, I miss the focus on ONE project. Post PhD life often feels scattered, with lots of (side) projects, supervision of very different topics, data from here and there, etc. I certainly do not miss the uncertainty & I am grateful to work on new things!

But I do feel that we would benefit from doing less. It's a weird thing—as you advance your career, it feels like the job never really gets easier but only fuller. Thoughts, anyone?

KorinnaAllhoff,
@KorinnaAllhoff@ecoevo.social avatar

@BerLinguistin

I can totally relate to this. For me, sometimes it works to select just one of the many projects as focus project for the week. Then I try to work only on this specific project in the mornings and do all the supervision and scattered other things in the afternoon. This helps to achieve a good balance between focus time and maintaining an overview. But in other weeks I just feel overwhelmed, trying my best to stay sane, so I’m very much looking forward to other replies!

Recently, my team started growing, so all of a sudden it makes sense to organise regular team meetings, just like a grown-up PI. Our most recent meeting took place today and I felt so proud. What a nice bunch of people. And so many interesting research projects! 🤩
How did this happen?


KorinnaAllhoff,
@KorinnaAllhoff@ecoevo.social avatar

...amongst other things, we did some conference planning today. This year, we will attend:

  1. the #YoMos workshop in Bad Buchau in May
    (https://www.yomos.org/next-workshop)

  2. the #MMEE2024 in Vieanna in July
    (https://ps-mathematik.univie.ac.at/e/index.php?event=mmee2024)

  3. and the annual meeting of the sfe2 in Lyon in October
    (https://sfe2-2024.fr/en, @sfe2_2024 )

Abstract submission for all three meetings is still/already open. We hope to meet you there! 😊

Today was a good day: In the morning, I saw a #kingfisher in the park 😱 and in the afternoon, I submitted the first manuscript for my PhD 🐦 a lot of recent days felt less successful than this one, but for now, I am at rest 🪶

@KorinnaAllhoff@ecoevo.social avatar

@Louzula Congratulations! Big milestone!! What a nice way to start the weekend.

Dear Mastodon community,

I have attended a keynote talk about inclusive fitness in #EvolutionaryBiology. The work presented during the talk was only from men and it made me wonder:

Where are #women in theoretical evolutionary biology? 👩‍🔬

If you come to think of the work of a woman on this field, please leave her name that we celebrate everyone's work 💪

#WomenInScience #academia

KorinnaAllhoff,
@KorinnaAllhoff@ecoevo.social avatar

@AudreyBras
I use different mathematical and simulation-based approaches to study the interplay between ecology and evolution, aka as eco-evo feedback. Does that count? If yes, then please also check out Lynn Govaert, @jhpantel , Fernanda Valdovinos, Avril Weinbach, @Louzula, …

Big shoutout to the organisers of the #YoMos workshop. I had a wonderful week full of inspiring talks and discussions. If you ever get the chance to attend this meeting, don’t think twice, you won’t regret it!!

Louzula, to random German

Since is not on Mastodon, you will get the advertisement from me :D if you are a / # Master/ level student of or you supervise any, this is perfect! You get to present your project in a conference-like setting, but your audience are your peers! Big bonus for modelling this year: The awesome @KorinnaAllhoff will give a keynote, and I will probably give a workshop on in ! Sign up here -> https://www.yomos.org

Felix Jäger (PhD student in my team) made a meme to advertise our group and our courses on campus. I can't stop laughing. This made my day. 🤣

Today I was completely unable to get something done. I suspect it's because of the rejection letter that we received this morning. It hurts a bit more than I'd like to admit....
