The new #NSF #GRFP application now excludes 1000’s of students, including those who were told they could apply this year, or who planned to apply next year. We have a new specific petition urging #NSFGRFP undo this harmful action. If you are impacted sign here: laurenkuehne.github.io/grfpChanges/

Call for abstracts: @icrs.bsky.social ICRS 2026 session "#26 | Cryptic diversity, hybridization, and chimerism and their influence on ecology and evolution" www.icrs2026.nz/call-for-abs...

I'm looking to recruit a PhD student to study patterns of local adaptation and introgression across the spruce hybrid zone in the Rockies near Calgary. Projects can include field work, bioinformatics, pop gen theory, or comparison to plant/ conifer species yeamanlab.weebly.com/uploads/5/7/...

Over half of the world’s corals have vanished in 50 years. To help restore reefs at scale, TNC and the Coral Restoration Consortium created a science-based guide with best practices, tools, and case studies tailored to local conditions. Resilient reefs start here. 🔗 https://nature.ly/4mRosBE

🎉 Exciting news! The last manuscript from my dissertation was just published in Royal Society Open Science! And in a fun twist of fate, the cover of this issue happens to feature a Caribbean coral colony 🪸 (not from our study, but still serendipitous nonetheless!)

Very excited to have our first #singlecell data paper out in the world. Dr. Valadez Ingersoll worked so hard on this piece and we learned so much about #coral #symbiosis! Cell type-specific immune regulation under symbiosis in a facultatively symbiotic coral url: academic.oup.com/ismej/articl...

Email from NSF just now: “NSF will not implement [15%IDC] policy at this time”

NSF Physics was cut by 85%, basically wiping out most of its capacity for supporting research. NSF Astronomy was cut by 53% Undergrad education was cut by 71% and research on learning by 79% Graduate education was cut by 100% to ZERO. #GiftLink ⚛️🔭 www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Having supported an application this round I can say that this feels like a slap in the face for these juniors researchers who are emerging post PhD. All of that work .....

Katie’s amazing and an incredibly thoughtful scientist. The MSC is a collaborative and vibrant academic community. Living in the North Shore of Boston is awesome. A postdoc in Katie’s lab helped change the path of my career for the better. This is a dream postdoc.

Great job in MA! I love GMGI and attend their conference every year! Amazing opportunity for a marine genomics researcher! gmgi.bamboohr.com/careers/69

We examined the microbiome of Madracis aurentenra, an urban coral off the coast of the Colombian Caribbean. Interesting dynamics between Endozoicomonas and Vibrionaceae 🧪🪸 #MicroSky peerj.com/articles/192...

Congrats Jeric “JK” Da-Anoy (member of the sites.bu.edu/davieslab ) JK is a #Ph.D. #student fascinated by #evolution of #metazoan complexity. He received his Master’s at the Uni of the Philippines, exploring stress response & #evolutionary #neurobiology under Dr. Cecilia Conaco’s supervision.

Corals maintain stable populations of essential photosynthetic symbionts by controlling their cell cycle, not by eating them! Our new #PNAS paper monitored and modelled #aiptasia cell cycle, autophagy, and expulsion for over a year. #symbiosis #microbiology www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Excited to share JK Da'Anoy's first dissertation chapter published in @sicbjournals.bsky.social! What started off as a side project morphed into great work! "Microbial depletion is associated with slower cnidarian regeneration" LOTS of wondergrads made this happen! Go team :) doi.org/10.1093/icb/...

Florida elkhorn corals need active genetic help to handle climate change, they cannot do it on their own. The risk is far less than the risk of doing nothing. 🌏🧪https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14920439 @coralconsortium.bsky.social

Elkhorns corals (Acropora palmata) have been building Caribbean reefs for the past 100,000 years or more, but now are hanging on the brink of extinction.

Scientists are now organizing events, called Stand Up for Science, on 7 March in Washington, D.C., and state capitals. So far, they have attracted more than 100 volunteers from some 30 states who are hoping to rally support for research as a public good. scim.ag/4328LAD
