Recent MS I worked w on in-press paper on freshwater mussel diversity - did all the right things, smart and hard working and gives a damn, just got fired by these horrid MAGA fascists. Early online version here, if you need a smart scientist on your team: www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭 It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health. I’ve never experienced a more positive culture where everyone cared about their job and serving others.

Just sitting here, trying to write a grant, crying for so many thousands who dedicated their lives to making the world better and safer, just thrown out like trash today.

Scientists first collected a pig butt worm from the dark ocean depths near Monterey, California. The size of marbles, pigbutts are a near complete mystery. Officially described in 2007, scientists aren’t even sure if the pigbutt form is an adult, or just a very very awkward adolescent stage.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Excited to share our new paper! We developed a key to the genera of Caligidae, the largest family of parasitic copepods, which includes >500 species in 27 genera. Available here: doi.org/10.1645/24-97 I spent a lot of time imaging copepods for this project...🧪 [🧵1/5]

To expand on this, right now ~200 postdoc fellows directly funded by NSF are locked out of their salary &research funds right before the first of the month. No doubt other NSF funded grads &postdocs are affected as well. All requests for funds put in before the freeze are slowly being cancelled

The U.S. ocean sciences community faces a critical challenge with the shrinking Academic Research Fleet. Since the 1980s, the fleet has halved, leaving scientists at a global disadvantage 🚢 Good news: 3 new #NSFfunded RCRVs will soon bolster research along our coasts. ➡️ @eos.org: buff.ly/4juo2QB

Hi! I want to explore freshwater biodiversity in my local area with #eDNA 🧬 and #ONT MinION. The aim of my project -EUReKA- is to learn the full eDNA workflow, from experimental design and sampling to bioinformatics and visualization - all from home! Looking for #mentors to guide me. Let’s chat!
