🚨 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 πŸ“£ Comments can be short. Courts consider themβ€”and scientists with NSF/NIH experience are especially impactful Speak up! shorturl.at/WKuBj

This is built on the foundation of one of the most compelling long-term forest studies in Europe. This will be one very lucky postdoc...

Final call for latebreaking #ESA2025 submissions! Abstract & project proposed poster submissions are both due today at 5:00 PM ET. We've seen a lot of interest in both in the submissions so far, so Thursday in Baltimore is going to be full of action! esa.org/baltimore202...

Come with you project ideas in the form of a poster, no data necessary. Attend ESA, get feedback, meet potential collaborators, and level up your research. Very cool new format...

We begin reviewing applications next week!

Very excited to share a new initiative to ensure US climate scientists will be nominated to IPCC AR7 cycle. The new U.S. Academic Alliance for the IPCC (USAA-IPCC) has opened a call for nominations, hosted by AGU: www.agu.org/ipcc-nominat... We encourage eligible scientists to apply by April 4th!

As a Jewish faculty member at one of these institutions, I am saying right now, in the clearest tones possible: not in my name. This violent exploitation of Jews as an alibi for achieving Fascist ends is itself textbook antisemitism.

Scientists are now organizing events, called Stand Up for Science, on 7 March in Washington, D.C., and state capitals. So far, they have attracted more than 100 volunteers from some 30 states who are hoping to rally support for research as a public good. scim.ag/4328LAD

Upon learning that yesterday would be my last day as a program officer at the National Science Foundation, I shared this parting message with my colleagues. The next few months will be frenetic and stressful for them. Here are some things that you can do to help them with the mission ahead. (1)

Please share: The Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, Democratic Staff, is surveying the impact of the Trump Admin’s mass firings of federal employees from science agencies. If you were terminated since 20 Jan 2025 please fill out this survey: democrats-science.house.gov/sciencefirings

What if pugs aren't so different than German shepherds? A moment to pause for cool science. My colleagues Nick Hebdon and Lindsay Waldrop have a new study where they show that dogs supposedly bred for certain functions (smelling, biting) are no different in their performance than any other breed.

The National Science Foundation cancelled over 60 grant review panels today, effectively grinding funding of new projects to a halt. The so-far indefinite pause comes as NSF grapples with the impact Trump's executive orders will have on their grantmaking process. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Excited to share a new paper, out in the Journal of Microbiology and Biology Education, that @dforsythe.bsky.social and I worked on together! We characterized full-time, non-tenure track teaching faculty (NTT teaching faculty) in biology. (1/7) journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

We're ready-- Proposal submissions now open for special sessions, short courses, workshops, field trips & Career Central workshops at #ESA2025 in Baltimore! Submit by January 9: www.esa.org/baltimore202...

#ESA2025 submissions now open for workshops, special sessions, Career Central sessions, short courses, field trips. No hybrid sessions this year. Career central sessions are new, with a second "projects in planning" poster session to be announced in February: www.esa.org/baltimore2025/

One of the most compelling accomplishments of #ESA2024 was a special session, organized by early career researchers, that explored the use of AI-enabled real-time from the speakers native language to English subtitles.

With all the new people joining the scientific community the past week I wanted to re-post this tenure-track job in environmental data science. There are ~10 days left until we start reviewing candidates. Come join us here in beautiful Upper Michigan on the shores of Lake Superior.

Warning to environmental scientists! πŸ§ͺπŸ¦‘πŸŒŽπŸŸ The journal STOTEN has been placed on hold by Clarivate, meaning it is under investigation and may lose its indexing (including impact factor). Consider publishing elsewhere. mjl.clarivate.com/search-results

Planting trees is not a perfect solution to fight climate change In some areas it can work well, but in others it can be a true disaster 🌲🌲🌲πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ Take a look at our new review on the topic besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New article by Isioma Nwayor et al in International J of Climatology. This work presents a standardized version of vapor-pressure deficit (SVPDI) that can be used as an alternative or supplement to other "S" drought indices, such as SPI and SPEI, in situations where VPD is important. 🌊πŸ§ͺ #climate
