Summary
I was a postdoc in Sam Brockington's lab at the Department of Plant Sciences, University of Cambridge. My research was on ex-situ conservation of threatened plant species around the world. More generally my skills and knowledge-base are in open access, phylogenetics, bioinformatics, systematics, and conservation biology.
In 2016 I became a Software Sustainability Institute fellow and a Data Carpentry instructor. Prior to this I was a Panton Fellow for Open Data in Science. I used to sit on council for the Systematics Association (2012-2017) and I'm a founding editor of Research Ideas and Outcomes (RIO) http://riojournal.com/

A shorter comment this time... with Table 2 the meaning of the Access column and it's scoring isn't clear to me. A) Figshare allows data to be uploaded and held privately ind...
I think the investigation of fractal dimension in phylogeny is very interesting and this paper is a novel effort towards that. Congratulations. But may I suggest that you perfor...

First of all, great package! I look forward to using it. Thanks too for using PeerJ PrePrints, I'm not as motivated to post comments elsewhere but I like the StackOverflow-style po...
Formalized synthesis opportunities for ecology: systematic reviews and meta-analyses
You write: "Systematic reviews have not however been as frequent, i.e. there are approximately 400 meta-analyses in ecology and only 26-30 systematic reviews to date (Web of Knowle...
Formalized synthesis opportunities for ecology: systematic reviews and meta-analyses
Another comment: "Oikos is currently ranked fifth in ecological journals publishing meta-analyses" Who's ranking, for what year, and how big is the subset of ecological journals...
