On #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience let me remind you that we are NOWHERE NEAR parity. A few examples. 1. Women are credited less in science than men. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Do you have any wolf spiders (Lycosidae) collected in the last couple of years? If so, I am looking for specimens from any species and any location *in the world* to add to a genetic study of the family. Let me know if you think you can help!

Although NOAA's page on atmospheric CO2 levels has vanished, you can still get this vital information from Ralph Keeling's team at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego keelingcurve.ucsd.edu Please follow bsky.app/profile/keel... for updates and share Don't let science be hidden

Have you wondered why fungi could have more resilience during environmental conditions? They can produce storage compounds which may help them to remain active! Thanks to all the team, esp. Alberto Canarini and Jörg Schnecker for conducting this experiment during challenging lockdowns!

#mycology folks... Ever wanted to programmatically search fungal names for synonyms on Mycobank? Notice that the R package for this has been broken for 7 years? I've got you covered: github.com/gzahn/mycoba... Easy tools with only tidyverse dependency.
