Notes potentially for my EDG talk. "Keeping Up" -- a talk to EDG?Science is growing. Fast. Number of papers published. Genomes on Genbank. Software on CRAN. Everyone's felt the pressure. So what do we do? Keeping with tradition, I'll present my own work in developing comparative phylogenetic methods to identify niche differentiation in Labrid fish. I will try and use this context to pose the question -- what do we do about this information explosion?? I'll review some data to frame the rate of this change and highlight three particular challenges: (1) Big Science - Big Collaborations, (2) Evaluating Science: Quality, Reproducibility, Impact, (3) Rising Demand for Broader Impacts. I'll review literature evaluating what is and isn't effective, present a few examples and tools with which some hope to face these challenges and opportunities. I'm not really qualified to give an opinion on all this, but I'm interested to give it a try. Bring questions and opinions or maybe we'll hear a lot more about multitype OU processes.
