Re: [ECOLOG-L] even more on predatory journals --edited book on amazon from PLOS ONE papers!

I have gotten about a half dozen invitations from such journals recently to send them my work, because they were so impressed with the quality of research that I published. The paper that so impressed them was in Science magazine. However, it was a book review!

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Need for letters for job applications

Letter-writers shouldn't complain. They have it a lot easier than back in the days when each letter had to be typed out separately on a typewriter. Now we have a template letter for a given student and just modify it for the particular position and change the address. Much easier!

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Obama - good news for ecologists?

In the acceptance speech he mentioned the huge challenges facing the country - the economic mess, A PLANET IN PERIL, and two wars. So he's got environmental issues at the forefront of his concerns - which was a big surprise to me, since there was so little discussion (aside from energy issues)
