Briefly putting on my hat as @asn-amnat.bsky.social President: The ASN Council has just distributed an updated message to the American Society of Naturalists members with information about actions that can be undertaken to advocate for science, and scientists, within the US:

The West Bank is completely under attack and there’s been very little coverage in American media

This one, like most reports involving torture, was hard to read. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Even as they push back against Trump, US universities must step in and protect early career researchers! Postdocs and PhD students hit hard by Trump’s crackdown on science www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Immediate action item: Flood the cross-country checkup inbox. www.cbc.ca/radio/checku... @ianhanomansing.bsky.social @cbcnews.ca #StrongAsFuck #Never51 Here's mine:

Israel is delaying the release of Palestinian detainees and prisoners, disrupting the Gaza ceasefire deal, and its military is intensifying an offensive in the occupied West Bank.

In DEB, the division for environmental biology, SEVEN program directors were fired. That's more than 25% of their program directors. These unjust firings are cruel and are devastating science in the US.

"Elon Musk is stealing from the entire American public, stealing our data. Stealing the services that we all rely on. They're going to use everything they supposedly save to justify massive tax cuts for themselves." - @fedworkersunited.bsky.social #SaveOurServices

Just a reminder: Your representative works for YOU. Every member of the House is back home this week for recess. Republicans must feel the heat for their complicity in the Trump-Musk coup. Democrats must know we’ve got their backs when they fight back. Let's get to work: indivisible.org/musk...

The Democrats on the House Science Committee have set up a website to collect stories from fired federal employees, anonymously if desired democrats-science.house.gov/sciencefirings

Just ordered some COVID tests, so we can do our best to protect my mother. #Mesothelioma #Caregiving

Holy shit, I just learned so much about the INSANITY of what Elon is doing in Texas. Dudes literally trying to destroy a Native community’s lands 🤬 Submit a comment to TCEQ regarding SpaceX Permit to dump into South Bay. Instructions here: sotxejn.org/2024/10/24/n...

WATCH AND CIRCULATE: Macklemore’s a real one for this video doing what the Democrats and their surrogates refuse to do youtu.be/sn9EKC9nqU4?...

Folks are shocked that their institutions, after professing commitments to climate justice and DEI, are now caving to Trump and scrubbing all references. It's brutal. And it's the smallest taste of what our students felt when their universities called in the cops b/c they protested a genocide.

Just a bit of joy to brighten the mood today www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/f...

I usually reserve this account for my personal views; but today I want to represent my position as President of @asn-amnat.bsky.social to post a message that will shortly go out to the membership of the American Society of Naturalists from the ASN Executive Council

‘It’s All About Shock and Awe’: Trump’s Plan to Distract, Overwhelm, and Deplete substack.com/@naomiklein/... The shock is entirely on purpose! We must resist while we remember that they do all this to concentrate power and money.

Does anyone on here have suggestions for math-y enrichment resources for a (UK-based) 5-year-old *incredibly* good at mathematical pattern spotting? I only really know about this world for teenagers.

🧵 THREAD: Our reporter spent the past year reporting inside the State Department, trying to answer the central question of Biden’s foreign policy: How did the U.S. let Israel get away with widespread horrors in Gaza?

“A new study of children living through the war in Gaza has found that 96% of them feel that their death is imminent and almost half want to die as a result of the trauma they have been through.” Unforgivable.

Starterpack of WoC and non-binary PoC in EcoEvo. Specifically, those of us who are members of the #WoCinEEB slack community. I'll keep adding people in the next few days. Please let me know if I missed you! Happy to provide info on how to join our community 💜 Please share! 🙏🏽 go.bsky.app/9iCneeT

The first review article from my lab, helmed by @celiasouque.bsky.social, "From Petri Dishes to Patients to Populations: Scales and Evolutionary Mechanisms Driving Antibiotic Resistance" is now online and open access at Annual Reviews Microbiology: www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

🧪Looking to follow other New PIs who also don't know what we're doing? We've just started a second starter pack - check it out (and the link to the first one) here! go.bsky.app/FcYEbs9

Download your free copy of the anthology "Light in Gaza: Writings Born of Fire," which I had the honor of co-editing in 2022. Light in Gaza explores the critical role of Gaza in Palestinian identity, history, and the struggle for liberation. www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1861-l...

Reposting this since suddenly everyone's on Bluesky now - We are looking for a postdoc to study the physiology, evolution, and cell biology of anaerobic ciliate-methanogen symbioses using 'omics, experiments, and/or microscopy. Please share widely and send inquiries by Dec.1!

I have been sitting a lot with the despair I feel with this election and my fears for what it means for Palestinians and Lebanese and how it will affect our freedom of speech in the US. This video speaks directly to that. youtu.be/J0gBhTO-pzs?...

Another starter pack of fine fine folks - New PIs! We're all figuring it out together! Please do (self-)nominate go.bsky.app/KJXNgfZ

They're saying the quiet part out loud. "International humanitarian law experts have said that such actions would amount to the war crimes of forcible transfer and the use of food as a weapon." www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...

Hi BlueSky friends! Postdoc(s) available in my lab! Multiple projects on how bacterial genomic and functional diversity impacts microbial interactions & disease. 🦠🧫 See www.thelewinlab.com/join-us/post... for more information. Please RT & share. #Postdoc #Microbiology #OralMicro #VaginalMicro

I wrote about what it was like to read the names of Palestinian martyrs for four days with my colleagues, here (now with correct link): buttondown.com/KateClancy/a...

I spent an hour today reading names of Palestinian martyrs alongside my colleagues. I happened to have a list that was mostly age 17, didn't even get halfway through it. As I tried to pronounce each name correctly, I thought of the parents who chose those names with love & anticipation of a future.

This is both a compelling history of a field and an important argument for highlighting complexity in our experiments and discussion of our experiments in a world that seems to demand simplicity, particularly from genetics 🧪 journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...
