What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders? 🧪 there is not a single, agreed-upon definition of a species, or clear standards for when a (population of a) species evolves into a new species

I found out today that ICE was at the hospital where I trained for residency. I am not ok. In the 3 years I trained there I’ve seen hundreds upon hundreds of undocumented patients, and to think that any one of them could have been picked up today is absolutely devastating.

Because I loved what @inaturalist.bsky.social was doing, I have painstakingly identified almost every single observation of Kellet's whelks (my study species) available on iNat. If they continue down this road, I will delete my account, my observations, and my identifications.

ah yes! let’s use genAI and burn more more fossil fuel to destroy the biodiversity we’re trying to document can’t believe one of my favorite organizations would make a decision like this. truly the worst and dumbest timeline we live in.

My Canadian university, Queen's, is offering TWENTY 4-year funded PhDs (40k CAD/yr) for a student of ANY citizenship who has been accepted at a top 100 US university but have had offer rescinded OR are reconsidering offer due to US policy. Details found here👇 www.queensu.ca/grad-postdoc...

Watching people interact on here, I see how we collectively have ended up in the nightmare we’re in. We have smart educated people refusing to empathize with people who have less education, time, money, & general resources, expecting them to perform at a high level to move forward/fix problems.

not that i expected better from Purdue… but as an Queer student of color who has gotten harassed countless of times while at Purdue, the spineless ending of DEI efforts is still a stab to the heart

🚨 A new rule would let career scientists like NSF/NIH program officers be replaced by political appointees Already 14,000+ public comments, deadline is Friday 📣 Comments can be short. Courts consider them—and scientists with NSF/NIH experience are especially impactful Speak up! shorturl.at/WKuBj

I feel really torn about promoting US-based grad/post-doc positions. [2B clear: I don't think my promotion has any value; more of an ethical quandary] I know a lot of these people, & they are brilliant/lovely. But promoting work in a de-funded anti-science climate? Potentially career-ending :/ 🧪

"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants. Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

you might think N American species are getting common at their north range limit and rare at their south range limit as temps get warmer but you would be wrong new paper in GEB w/ @eliotmiller.bsky.social & Matt Strimas-Mackey, eBird Status & Trends ftw onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

NSF is one of the most efficient parts of our government! Any cutting is obviously designed to dismantle the organization. This is obvious but still bears emphasis that they aren’t doing this to save money but solely to destroy the most effective parts of our federal government.

I participated in @aibsbiology.bsky.social congressional visits day last week and I have hope for bipartisan support for science. But we need everyone who supports science to call/meet their reps and senators and ask for 9.9 billion for NSF and 7.5 billion for NOAA.

🔔BREAKING🔔 The NSF has frozen all research grant awards—cutting off life-saving science midstream and demanding ideological screenings for future funding. This is censorship disguised as oversight. Here’s how you can help us spread the word ➡️🧵(1/3): www.nature.com/articles/d41...

My pet gar that I donated to Shedd Aquarium would recognize me and swim over to say hi when I visited her exhibit ❤️🐠 A rare hybrid gar, I raised her since she was 2 inches long, and had to re-home her when I moved to Chicago. I was happy I could visit her in her new home! TO BE CONTINUED…
