On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

Indiana's governor fired all the elected members of Indiana University's Board of Trustees. Given a recent policy change, he'll be able to fill those seats with appointees. Which means he'll basically have unilateral control over IU decisions, including who gets hired, tenured, and fired.

can't believe it's 2025 and i'm stressed about tariffs and measles, like am i a character in an american girl book

The Global Measles and Rubella Network (GMRLN, pronounced Gremlin) is a $14m per year program you've never heard of that forms the bedrock of disease surveillance and pandemic preparedness around the world. The US withdrawal from WHO means it may collapse.

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...

bats are immunologically "special", but bat species also differ in their immune response. we gather evidence for interspecific variation in bat immunity, propose hypotheses, and outline future comparative directions. i've really enjoyed working with this ECR team. ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

In the past year, my grants have helped to support 12 IU undergraduates (part time initial training in science) plus 4 grad students and 2 postdocs. When grant panels are delayed or cancelled, Hoosiers lose work.

And just like that, my new award from the @StateDept to help Pakistan grapple with air pollution and climate change is no more, thanks to this new administration

Finally (and please definitely RT this one) the Division of Ecoimmunology and Disease Ecology seeks nominees for the roles of Secretary and Program Officer Elect. If you're interested reach out to me or another member of our nominating committee (Emily Le Sage & @sarahknutie.bsky.social) #sicb2025

For those interested, my lecture for the University of Sydney Infectious Diseases Institute “The global expansion of H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza” is available here on YouTube. It is from May 2024, but is still pertinent. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImFD...

🚨SICB people🚨 My lab is doing a raffle for one of our tan Nest Parasite Community Science 🪰 shirts. All you have to do is go to one of my students' talks at SICB & post a 📸🦋 here of them presenting! Once you post the picture, DM me the link & whether you prefer a M/XL shirt! Talk details below👇

Would appreciate a RT from the scientists for this one! We have 665 scientists in the spring database and I want to get us to about 1000 before we set the teachers loose on the database for January matches.

Illinois Natural History Survey is hiring a new Director (my boss!) illinois.csod.com/ux/ats/caree... Come lead an amazing organization that has a really powerful applied mission, and some excellent scientists :)

Hey, writers! Just want to put this on your radar. There's a rash of new accounts here trying to scam writers by pretending to be book marketers. They are generally not legit. You can recognize them because:

Three year postdoc on bird migration www.ab.mpg.de/639728/job_f...

I couldn't find one, so I decided to put together a starter pack of folk working on the evolutionary ecology of host-pathogen interactions, eco-immunology, or similar. I know I've missed many (sorry) so please share and let me know if you want to be added (or removed). go.bsky.app/QvrnjHS
