If you care about nature, it's worth submitting a public comment in opposition to this proposed rule: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20... 1/n

Science Magazine gets it wrong. 🧵

Protecting habitat is perhaps THE most important conservation strategy. But a proposed change to the Endangered Species Act would stop doing so, allowing people & companies to destroy habitat that endangered species need to survive. Join us in stopping this change ➡️ xerces.org/protect-the-esa

Yes, things are bad these days. And it's when things get hard that you see good/strong and bad/weak leaders/communities, and its consequences. I am thankful for working at a place where leaders and the community stand up, care for each other and have each other's backs. #UMDEntomology #SilverLining

Thread with an email being sent to @asn-amnat.bsky.social @sse-evolution.bsky.social @systbiol.bsky.social members today calling for a Tri-society week of action for NSF: Dear members: The tri-societies (ASN, SSE,SSB) are running a ‘Week of Action for NSF’. Your engagement is crucial.

Reminder: we’re searching for a new member for our DEI committee! This committee has been hard at work lately making travel awards for early-career systematists. Want to help make SSB a place for all systematists? Check out the ad and apply.

Sharing this meeting info, of a society whose interests partially overlap in many ways with what @systbiol.bsky.social @sse-evolution.bsky.social and @asn-amnat.bsky.social , all while reaching Pan-American researchers! Check it out!

---ATTENTION---ATTENTION--- I have now heard from several reliable sources outside and inside NSF that the fears about research.gov are not well-founded. I apologize for contributing to excessive concern. But, better safe than sorry these days...

Excited to do a postdoc in beautiful Neuchatel / Switzerland🇨🇭? We have several postdoc positions open at the moment! Check our website for the full ads here: pathogen-genomics.org/jobs Happy to answer any question and please spread the word to anyone who might be interested!

URGENT ACTION FOR NSF GRANTEES. For current & recent (since 2020) awards, archive your award history this afternoon/tonight. Screenshot/download/print your work in research.gov & alert your partners. We have credible threats to integrity of awards tracking systems (via @jeremymberg.bsky.social)

Only 1 more week to apply for this postdoc position on the genomics of parallel climate adaptation in yeast! Link to application portal is in the post below. Please share widely! 🧪🌳🧬🍄

TLDR: the administration wants to remove habitat loss from the definition of "harm" for endangered species, which will effectively gut the ESA. I just commented. If you're in any way interested in ecology, nature, and the protection of endangered species, you should, too. Free daily action!
