Firings are happening right now at the National Science Foundation. Essential staff are being cut. This isn’t about the budget. If it was, they’d be going after the military (17%) or state appropriations (38%). NSF is 0.7% of the federal budget. All federal employees make up only 4% of the budget.

Dear federal scientists: If you have been affected by the probationary firings and would be willing to speak with Science, please reach out to me by email ([email protected]) or on Signal. We can guarantee annonymity.

Just a kind reminder to please use alt text for people who use assistive technology. Advertising positions with important details in non-machine readable media (like screenshots of word docs, videos) without alt text enforces ableism at the very start of recruitment. #EcoECRcareer

A thread🧵 on application systems for postdoc jobs in the UK (applies to my university, but I've seen others and they're similar). I have seen (too many times) good applicants who don't seem to understand how recruitment is done on our side - not their fault! it's a privilege! - so here's how

UK PhD stipends have not been increasing in line with the national minimum wage, and since the generous COVID increase haven’t even bothered to be anchored against an inflation metric. I’m lucky enough to have a spouse to support me but in what world is this not a barrier to entry for others?

New paper in GEB: coral reefs are changing, but the most common shift is not what you think it might be. Systems dominated by live corals and small fishes are disappearing, while those dominated by algae and large fishes are becoming more common. #ecology #science doi.org/10.1111/geb....
