NEW COURSE ON PUBLISHING FOR GROUPS OF 15-25 PhD STUDENTS: "What
you need to know to be effective in publishing your work"
A naturalist’s life would be a happy one if he had only to observe
and never to write
Charles Darwin, Letter to C. Lyell, 1867
This quote from Darwin very appropriately summarizes the sentiment of scientists
through the ages. Doing and publishing science are two very different activities,
involving different perspectives and employing different techniques. Arriving
at the PhD level means that we have a demonstrated desire and ability to conduct
scientific research, but we are usually not trained formally about how to publish
our work. Such training is important, because publishing is not only a requirement
of institutions such as universities and granting agencies, but it is also a
formal vehicle for communicating discoveries with our contemporaries and with
future scientists.
"What you need to know to be effective in publishing your work" capitalizes
on my experience as Editor in Chief of the journal Ecology Letters
for over a decade, to provide students with unique insights into the publishing
world. Understanding the many facets of publishing will help your development
within the scientific community, and provide the tools to communicate your science
more effectively.
The course will include both lectures and practical work over three days. The
lectures will be interactive, and cover a wide range of topics, including why
we publish, the importance of impact factors and how they are calculated, different
journal types, and how journals are run and what editors are looking for. I
will go into depth regarding ethical issues such as concurrent submissions,
plagiarism, citing previous work, acknowledgments, authorship, copyright issues
and publication bias. I will stress the importance of obtaining feedback on
manuscripts before they are submitted, writing the cover letter, and how to
write inquiries to editors. Finally, I will discuss journal decisions, including
reasons for rejection, replying to decision letters calling for revision, and
appealing decisions of rejection.
The practical work will provide training in several important ways. First, the
quality of cover letters (content and style) is increasingly regarded as essential
to getting manuscripts assessed by editorial boards and external reviewers.
Students will participate individually and in groups in drafting a cover letter
for a manuscript. Second, attracting potential readers to your work means that
you are able to effectively write titles, abstracts, and choose keywords that
will catch the attention of both specialists and the wider scientific community.
Students will have the opportunity to practice these skills for different prospective
journals. Third, students will be placed in a situation where they have to deal
with a manuscript rejection, including contacting coauthors, deciding on a plan
of action, and writing an appeal letter. Finally, scientists have an important
role in guaranteeing the quality of colleagues’ work, though manuscript
assessments. Reviewing colleagues’ manuscripts also increases our ability
to exercise self-criticism. Students will be asked to conduct an assessment
of a short manuscript, paying attention to the objectives of writing a useful
and responsible review.

Research
My research focuses on the evolution of virulence in single species systems and tightly-coupled interactions. We are interested in how environmental conditions impact the genetics and expression of virulence, and what the implications are in areas ranging from cooperation in social groups, to the managment of virulent pathogens, to population diversification and speciation. My laboratory uses a combination of mathematical modeling and experimental evolution with the system Pseduomonas fluorescens SBW25 - lytic bacteriophage PHI2. I am particularly interested in the following themes, and I welcome contacts from prospective students and postdocs about working in my research team.
1. Cultural evolution. I seek to explain religious behavior and dynamics using both empirical data and mathematical theory. This work integrates both cognitive adaptations (e.g., Boyer 2001. Religion Explained) and selective forces (e.g., Wilson 2002. Darwin’s Cathedral). After a few years of inactivity on this subject, I have renewed interest, and am currently interacting with Pablo Marquet (Chile), Daniel Nettle (UK) & Harvey Whitehouse (UK) on an array of projects.

2. Host – parasite coevolution. I’m particularly interested
in developing a structural theory for coevolution, which would include different
aspects of virulence and integrate community and ecosystem interactions. Predictions
are currently being tested in our experimental evolution laboratory at the University
of Montpellier. Collaborators include Peter Thrall (Australia), James Bever
(USA), Oliver Kaltz (France), Patricia Escobar-Paramo (France), Tim Poisot (France),
Johan Ramsayer (France) & Richard Gomulkiewicz (USA).

3. Evolution of cooperation and conflict. I am intrigued by emergent complexity in groups. This combines information and network theories to see how environments affect the emergence and coexistence of different “roles” in cells or individual organisms within groupings. Most of this work is mathematical, but we are also starting to test some ideas using microbial and cellular models. My main collaborators are Esteban Martinez (France), Tim Poisot (France), Johan Ramsayer (France), Pablo Marquet (Chile) & Alejandro Erices (Chile).
