Postdoctoral Research Associate in Ecological Modeling – Sim4est The Forest Advanced Computing & Artificial Intelligence Lab (FACAI) at Purdue University is seeking applicants for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in ecological modeling. The successful candidate will coordinate with the global forest expert team in Science-i (see the map below for the global distribution) to lead a […]
As Science-i continues to grow in membership of both data contributors and data users, we recently launched Data Contributor Certification – a process to confirm contributors of ground-sourced forest inventory data across our team. This certification will facilitate team-wide research collaboration in two ways: For data users and research project organizers, this certification will allow […]

KrochmalOctober 1, 2022 @ Science-i team Dear Fellow Scientists, Welcome to Science-i.org, where scientists and communities work together to empower research and enrich diversity! We created this quarterly newsletter to update you with all the exciting events, projects, and publications on our platform. We are here as your […]
We are now inviting data contributors to participate in 10+ ongoing research projects in Science-i (https://science-i.org/groups/). For these and upcoming research projects, it is critical to know who has what dataset(s), because dataset is a major asset and leverage for one to participate in Science-i/GFBI studies. Â It has been over five years since we […]
Co-limitation towards lower latitudes shapes global forest diversity gradients The latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) is one of the most recognized global patterns of species richness exhibited across a wide range of taxa. Numerous hypotheses have been proposed in the last two centuries to explain LDG, but rigorous tests of the drivers of LDGs have been […]
We are glad to launch Science-i on Strava! Please join us in running, cycling, swimming, rock climbing, skiing, etc. Let’s challenge each other, help each other, and have fun! https://www.strava.com/clubs/science-i Our first challenge is to accumulate 5,000km in running distance and 10,000km in cycling. This challenge aims to increase the participation of underrepresented biodiversity scientists.
Science-i service team members are starting to conduct #client_survey through brief 30-minute virtual and in-person interview sessions. The main goal for this interview is for us to get a better understanding of the #disconnection between communities, data users, and data providers, how this has or has not posed an obstacle to your #research_collaborations, and how […]

One of the most fundamental questions in ecology is how many species inhabit the Earth. However, due to massive logistical and financial challenges and taxonomic difficulties connected to the species concept definition, the global numbers of species, including those of important and well-studied life forms such as trees, still remain largely unknown. Here, based on […]
