I got an email yesterday afternoon that my NSF SPRF Postdoctoral Fellowship was terminated. My grant focused on testing interventions to address online misinformation and I was 8 months into a two year appointment.

A lot of blood sweat and tears put into this one: we revisit Robert MacArthur's classic warbler study—with @eliotmiller.bsky.social and colleagues—using, among other techniques, fecal metabarcoding. 🧪🦉 📸 Ronnie d'Entremont royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... @psubiodept.bsky.social

Wombats can eat really tough plants (ones that include grains of glass-like silica) as their teeth never stop growing. As they are worn down at the tip, they just regrow from the root. #WombatWednesday #fieldwork #Tasmania #wombat #MammalWatching #WildOz #wombats

Next up for #WildlifeWednesday is the endangered Dibbler (Parantechinus apicalis) which was presumed extinct until 1967. This small, carnivorous marsupial is found in WA. They breed in autumn and adult females can carry up to 8 joeys in their pouch at one time! 📷 Cathy Lambert, Perth Zoo #WildOz

Bacterial operons may persist in eukaryotes (e.g. fungi) after horizontal gene transfer, according to Kogay et al. Operon-derived gene pairs suggest initial neutral retention and later functional integration or degeneration. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/... #NewPaperAlert #genome #evolution #fungi

🧪 are you a trans entomologist? arachnologist? parasitologist? malacologist? carcinologist? diplopodologist? vermeologist? 🐛🐜🪱🦗🕷️🦀 if you a trans scientist studying any kind of bug or crawling/slithering invertebrate that is existentially bug-like, I would love to interview you for a project!

We just published some new #science on forest habitat loss in Tasmania! here's a quick thread! Swift parrots are Critically Endangered because of habitat loss. Until now, nobody has quantified the amount and trends of forest loss and degradation! 1/8 🧵 🦜🧪

in case you're wondering, "what's the harm in claiming an extinct species has been brought back from the dead" when it most certainly has not, our interior secretary is already using it to justify taking animals off the endangered species list

When I talk about the negative consequences of the internet, I don’t mean the internet is fundamentally bad or that it should be destroyed or that people shouldn’t be able to connect at scale. What I mean is that the most popular internet platforms have been weaponized to incentivize bad behavior
