For Canadian scholars, the reality is bleak . Ottawa is dangling money for American researchers, but what about our own? #academicsky #neuroskyence #psychscisky

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

This sounds so cool!

Super excited about this new Open Rank tenure-track faculty search for the MSU Plant Resilience Institute. We successfully hired two excellent new faculty in our last search and we are hoping to build on that success with this search. careers.msu.edu/jobs/assista...

Please help us spread the word! Please amplify! We are searching for an associate or full professor (Canada Excellence Research Chair) in Biodiversity Genomics at the University of Guelph! 🐟🌿🦠🐜🐸🐝 Applications are due October 6 2025. careers.uoguelph.ca/job/Guelph-C... #AcademicJobs #EvoBio

Help needed! Do these herbarium pecimens actually come from the British museum? Any idea who the purple monogram belongs to? #herbarium

I'm delighted to present this Science special issue on Plants and Heat! Through a series of Reviews and Perspective articles, covering topics from cell signalling to ecology there is something for everyone here. (1/8)

Reminder: Nobel-prize winning PCR (1983), used in basically all genetic tech today, was only possible because of extremophile bacterium discovered in 1964 in Yellowstone funded by a small ~$80k NSF grant with no obvious application at the time. #science 🧪 www.richmondscientific.com/how-a-discov...

Excited to see this out!! In this thought-provoking review led by @davidperis.bsky.social and Ricardo Pérez-de la Fuente we further demonstrate that insect #pollination was once widespread among #gymnosperms and existed long before the origin of #angiosperms onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

My lab is keen on recruiting grad students for 2025 (fully funded positions! Living wage!) on topics related to phylogenomics, macroevolution, and adaptation to dry environments: See: edelinegagnon.wixsite.com/gagnon-lab-1... Grad ad: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

How are buzzing bees & poricidal flowers globally distributed? Curious about the ecological drivers of their distribution? Check out our preprint w/ @achughes.bsky.social, @mcorr.bsky.social, Diana Jolles, Ricardo Kriebel, Zhiheng Wang, Steve Buchmann, John Ascher! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Part of this manuscript actually used herbaria to examine evolution of prickles loss across the spiny Solanum... How cool is that!

Do you work on the 87 #BigPlantGenera that include 25% of all plant species? We are putting together a special issue in @annbot.bsky.social for studies investigating Angiosperm genera with >500 species. See the link below for details: shorturl.at/dfsw4
