- Reposted by Oceane LiehrmannAcademics and technologists are sounding the alarm about a growing crisis in scholarship as we know it: AI-generated citations of nonexistent papers that have infested real journals. Despite being fake, the sources are widely assumed to be authentic the more they appear in published literature.
- Reposted by Oceane LiehrmannClosing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵 Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...
- Reposted by Oceane LiehrmannOver the past months (and at least 11 versions!), I was lucky to work with 11 amazing colleagues on a call to action to reform academic publishing. Not another declaration, but an appeal to our powerful friends, research funders & institutions, to Stop the Drain of Scientific Publishing. 1/n
- Reposted by Oceane LiehrmannAre humans really the only rational animals? Our NEW PAPER 🎉 out in @science.org suggests otherwise! In a large collaboration led with my joint first author @hanna-schleihauf.bsky.social, we show that “Chimpanzees rationally revise their beliefs” 🧵
- Do tou wanna share an office with me and work in an amazing team on farm animal emotions? Here you go! There's usually always chocolate and snacks in my office. Just sayin 😋
- 📣 Are you interested in applied animal ethology and perceptual abilities of animals? Do you want to help us disentangle how animal emotions are modulated by their sensory environment? Then, you might be the postdoc we are looking for🌠 More info: www.slu.se/en/about-slu... #appliedethology #postcoc
- Today is big day, it's a happy and sad day. I am moving from Finland to Sweden. I spent 7 years in Turku, this is the longest I have ever spent in one place. I'll cherish the memories and friendship I've built here forever. Thank you Turku, hello Lomma.
- I made the best out of today, and went to train one last time with the Bio bitches (our super slay volley ball team) before charging the Van.
- And yesterday had a last dinner with my close friends and housemates ❤️ pumpkin vege tartiflette is the best!
- Moving a lot is one of the best and hardest part of the academic life. I grew a lot as a researcher within the @lummaalab.bsky.social and I am now ready for the next adventure at the SLU in Alnarp with @drmariarorvang.bsky.social
- She was an inspiration to many of us, and she will continue to be. Thank you for all of work ❤️
- The naturalist Jane Goodall died today at 91. Hope, she argued, is not merely “passive wishful thinking” but a “crucial survival trait.” Revisit a conversation with Goodall, from 2021: nyer.cm/F55JtsS
- doi.org/10.1080/0892... New paper out! Validation of the human-horse attachment styles survey. Glad to be co last author on this piece with @millasalonen.bsky.social. Congrats to our respective students Alisa and Aada for the amazing work they put in this study.
- Reposted by Oceane LiehrmannTo study emotions in free-ranging #animals, researchers rely on what they see: but inferring #emotions from #behavior is not enough! Our new preprint discusses how #technology could help us better understand animal affect under naturalistic conditions: osf.io/preprints/os...
- I reviewed a paper for BMC Veterinary Research. Clear missunderstanding of animal cognition, inappropriate methodology, anthropocentric issues... 5 reviewers, 4 rejections. Still the decision is " Revise". So much waist of my time and energy. Do not submit in this journal. @springernature.com

- Reposted by Oceane LiehrmannBehind many scientists is a lifetime of invisible, unsustainable costs. From unpaid internships to underpaid postdocs, the economic toll of a STEM career is staggering—and it's pushing talent out. My new perspective explores this crisis. #STEM #AcademicBlueSky journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...
- Reposted by Oceane LiehrmannHow many PhDs does the world need? Doctoral graduates vastly outnumber jobs in academia. PhD programmes need to better prepare students for careers outside universities, researchers warn. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

- Reposted by Oceane LiehrmannAre you looking for more scientists to follow? Of course you are. Then how about a thread with 50 amazing scientists and/or science writers, along with reasons why you should follow them? (No particular order) Unfortunately, I forgot to put any dudes on the list again. Silly me.
- Reposted by Oceane LiehrmannWe wrap up the second day of #AffectEvo-Lisbon25 meetup with some more great discussions. #AffectEvo
- Fascinating discussions this morning. My brain is fusing with ideas. It is really stimulating to exchange with experts from many fields and that have different approaches to the concept of affective state.
- Day 2 of our first meeting in Lisbon. This morning we divided into 3 groups to discuss the definitions of Valence and Fear as an exercise to help us think on the optimal ways to map affective states of animals. #AffectEvo #AffectEvo_Lisbon25
- Reposted by Oceane LiehrmannNext up, we had Mike Mendl (Bristol, UK) giving us a brief tour of some emotion concepts and theories and their translatable characteristics. #AffectEvo #AffectEvo-Lisbon25
- Reposted by Oceane LiehrmannAnd the last keynote of the day was a tour de force by David Anderson (Caltech, USA) on neural dynamics and the encoding of emotion primitives.
- Reposted by Oceane LiehrmannCarrie Figdor (Iowa, USA) delivers the first keynote: “From Affect and Emotion Theories to a Phylogeny of Affect and Emotion”
- Very excited to be in person for the first meeting of @affect-evo.bsky.social ! The program is sick and will be the place for fascinating discussion to refine our vision of animal affective state and its evolution across species.
- The advantage of having an #astronomy nerd for housemate, you get front raw for partial #solareclipse viewing 😁!
- Academia is such a trap... Unemployment doesn't count as a career break. So now I give lectures, I supervise 2 PhDs and 1 MSc, I go to conferences and consortiums, work on my papers while applying for grants, all of that for free! Not sure how long I can keep going. #academia #postdoclife #burnout

- Hi women of Science! Anyone who ever started initiatives to support peer women in your department? Safe peer group or so to get input regarding everyday life sexism and how to address it. We want to initiate something, but IDK where to start #womeninscience #womeninsresearch #sexism #academia

- Great roller-coaster ride for Xmas, I have been assessed qualified for a postdoc with + comments on my profile. Then got an email saying that based on that assessment they won't go further with my application. A bit ironic for a position on animal + emotions and welfare. #postdoclife #Ineedajob

- Reposted by Oceane LiehrmannI'm loving this idea of microfeminism. About how every day habit the little things can change the world. I'm especially loving the school teacher that calls the dad first. These acts are not insignificant they sometimes matter more. What is your act of micro feminism? www.npr.org/2024/12/04/g...
