I am still actively looking for postdoc positions — please lmk if you (or your friends and colleagues) need a hardworking postdoc with field, lab, and bioinformatic skills! I am broadly interested in evolution in the ocean, conservation and population genetics, and rapid evolution.

Great question! 1) First and foremost, we evaluate a candidate based on the departmental guidelines and expectations provided. We don't hold the candidate to arbitrary standards, or even to those of our own institution unless asked to do so. We assess the materials against the guidelines provided.

In honor of those of you here at #SETACPortland doing the conference mingling thing...

We were proud to recognize this year’s outstanding honorees during yesterday’s Opening Ceremony at #SETACPortland. Their contributions continue to advance environmental science. 👏 Please join us in celebrating their achievements!

With the government shutdown now over, if you are a government employees who had to cancel their participation, please reach out to our team to help reinstate your presentation and registration. We are happy to assist. We value your participation and look forward to welcoming you back!

Lucky to have a friend who does ceramics as a serious hobby and whose "glaze disaster" pieces she can't stand to have in her house I find absolutely delightful.

We’re falling for Portland already. 💚 #SETACPortland is almost here — and we can’t wait to gather with our community of scientists, researchers and practitioners for another year of sharing science and solutions. See you in the Pacific Northwest! 🌲 www.setac.org/discover-eve...

Love this! So talented and creative. It’s the soundtrack to the scientific apocalypse we are living in! I follow @ellecordova.bsky.social here but this wasn’t posted. This was from TikTok! Enjoy!

Saw someone using one of these all-terrain wheelchairs out in the wilds of Frick Park this weekend. Very cool!

Is it some sort of Karmic joke on all of us that the design zeitgeist these days is pure Dr. Strangelove?

New semester, new office decor! Featuring art from @artologica.net and @sarahmackattack.bsky.social (plus a diff eq exam from 1940).

Maybe I would be more tempted to use LLMs if I didn't really like writing and thinking, but, well,

Do I have any followers who are omega-6/PUFA researchers? I have some technical questions for an episode and I'd love to connect.

File under "examples to upload to my course management system documents this semester."

I kind of want to find a way to make this the new rickroll

Way too accurate…

Are you an early-career biologist or ecologist who would benefit from an invited seminar? Would you like to come to UMaine next fall or spring to give a talk? Leave a brief comment with some info about what you do. I'm co-hosting our seminar series again, and am filling out our rosters.

Blueberry harvest!

At the Culinary Medicine Conference this weekend which has been a great (and different) experience. This headline very apropos.

Did you know it’s very easy to make your default search engine “google without all the bullshit” on any platform? I did this a couple weeks ago and it’s so nice, no AI nonsense ever. It takes 30 seconds! Instructions: tenbluelinks.org

Not entirely sure about the use of "serendipitous" here.

Have summary statistics and data displays outlived their usefulness? We now have the graphics capability to show very large data sets in high resolution. Do summaries have distinct virtues versus just showing all the data?

here’s a curse word free version of “look it up” as requested by countless teachers and librarians 🥰😘

Abstract submission is now open for the SETAC North America 46th Annual Meeting in Portland, Oregon. 🍃 Submit an abstract by 17:00 PDT on 4 June to showcase your research and engage with leading experts from across the globe! 👉 bit.ly/4c2NKse #SETACPortland #Abstracts #EnvironmentalScience

It's the one easy trick mentality applied to everything. Love this quote on AI as parasite of expertise: "The parasite and the host can peacefully coexist as long as the parasite does not starve its host."

Trying to do a puzzle but there's a box.

About fifty years ago, NASA strapped a message in a bottle to a rocket and flung it into the deep dark It wasn’t supposed to go this far, but it did. Long past its mission, it’s still out there so far away now that a simple hello takes a day to reach it, and another day to hear if it says hello back

Sand, and snow, and Lake Ontario.

We’re thrilled to join the Bluesky community! ✨ Follow us for the latest in environmental science 🌎 We're kicking things off with an important message from Sabine Apitz, IEAM Editor-in-Chief, highlighting the need for action as we race against an accelerating Climate Clock ⏳ bit.ly/3Xkg5nP

For vertical farming to work for cereals, energy would need to be insanely cheap. We underestimate how cheap a lot of outdoor farming is. That's good for feeding 9-10 billion people. But bad news for indoor competitors. I ran the numbers here: www.sustainabilitybynumbers.com/p/vertical-f...

Organizing a Pgh rally for March 7 - more details very soon!

Interested in solving the #PFAS problem with green chemistry? Consider contributing to our session at the GC&E conference in Pittsburgh this June. Abstract deadline is Monday!

Timeline cleanse...

The EPA Science Advisory Board and Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee are being "reestablished."

I keep coming back to this book. Short, pithy, I read it as a parable, now it hits too close to home: cup.columbia.edu/book/the-col...

Toys are my favorite thing to knit because you can see them come to life in your hands.

More science 🧪 from the group for the new year: second up is a beast of a modeling paper led by Dr. Yuexin Cao (latest Ng lab PhD grad Woot!). This works evaluates potential hazards of PFAS relevant to photolithography: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Sharing some new science 🧪 from the group for the new year. First up, Ruiwen Chen leads this open access paper on membrane-water and potein-water distribution of #PFAS pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

Had a dream Paul Rudd worked at my local Wendy's and also that Wendy's sold a breakfast treat something between a soft pretzel and a cinnamon-dusted churro that you could order from Paul Rudd and now this is the world I want for everyone.

Seems like an apt analogy for life somehow... www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Oh noes we are coming to the end...
