They did it. They terminated my NEH grant. Their letter went to my junk mail. This is an active grant that would have finished on June 30. “Your grant’s immediate termination is necessary to safeguard the interests of the federal government” They are so afraid of us.

I'm trying to think of creative ways to advertise a research technician position (digitizing/deciphering 40 year old bird observations). Wanted to make a detective-themed one ("calling Sherlock Holmes") but was struggling to think of modern fictional detectives, despite watching B99 every evening.

Although the volume of #ConsGen peer-reviewed science is increasing, Linda Neaves, Stephen Sarre, et al. show the gap still may be growing between research & application (conservation-genetics gap). They suggest that data co-production may improve the incorporation of the research into application.
