Disabled students belong in biological sciences spaces! Here is a thread of some tips and suggestions to make your spaces more inclusive.

Ever heard of adaptive radiation? If not, cichlids are a great introduction! Happy Fishmas day 37!

It's truly awful what is happening to US higher ed but the uncritical glorification posts of its achievements are part of the problem not the solution. There are centuries of exploitation and discrimination embedded in these institutions and the science they produce. We must hold both cups at once.

The death rate among children under 5 is expected to grow this year for the first time in the 21st century, researchers say. A key factor, they say, is cuts to U.S. and other foreign aid www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

Outer Banks home collapses have accelerated as storms and rising water erode the shoreline. The collapses leave behind debris and costly cleanups, but homeowners have little incentive to act early because federal flood insurance only pays after a house falls.

"We are laying today the corner-stone of the Republic of Irrigation...We will lay the superstructure of this edifice by the plumb-line of justice and equity [Applause]. We will write upon its white cornerstone, 'Sacred to the Equality of Man.' [Applause]."

Cutting methane is one of the fastest ways to slow warming. UNEP’s Eye on Methane shows the data is here, action isn’t. As methane takes center stage at #COP30, leaders must turn measurement into real cuts: www.unep.org/resources/ey... #CutMethane

New Cornell-led study is the first ever to provide state-by-state projections of carbon emissions and water use by data centers. Estimates that data centers are on track to add 24-44M metric tons of CO2 pollution annually thru 2030, roughly equivalent to adding 5-10M cars per year to US roadways.

“The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.”

If you, unlike me, are at #CERF2025, consider checking out this year's "transgression session" today in E10-C, 10-2:30, starting w/ Justus Jobe on forest *regeneration* before transgressing marsh, & wrapped w/ Matt Kirwan presenting our study of marsh lawns of Tangier Island (2:15). We have stories!

"What they observe is sewage overflowing into a drainage ditch or into the nearby woods." www.al.com/news/mobile/...

Human wastewater contamination is so bad in Alabama homes that 1 in 3 adults in one county had hookworm. Biden funded efforts to improve sanitation there. But the effort is cancelled as "DEI". www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/...

"If the smartest young minds in the world were dedicated to figuring how a declining population could support its elders, we would achieve that goal," he said. "I think we'd have a happier world, for people and wildlife." www.npr.org/2025/11/01/n...

Well reported story on the PBS News Hour about science cuts and the ongoing and potential brain drain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLvO... Thanks to Terrance Tao and other scientists at various career stages for having the courage to speak out. Watch and share! 1/7

Over the next few weeks I'll be sharing some fun PhD opportunities. Today, if you're into hydrology, forests and wading 🪶 in Scotland this one might be for you! 🧪 www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Welcome November, paintings by Edwardian artist Edith Holden.

Minor caveat: I do think PhD programs should yield folks able to work in field after, not just profit from student tenure as engines of academia (which, accurate; avoid phdcomics.com/comics/archi...). Student careers likely remain an afterthought, though, & scholars must exist for jobs to persist.

Rats aren't just a nuisance. They can carry diseases and are a leading causes of property damage. One community in Massachusetts is trying a novel approach to rat reduction: Birth control. n.pr/43NUYNH

New audio story in Eos today! Ditches and moats are subbing in for witches and ghosts this Halloween. 🧙‍♀️👻

Justice for ditches! Researchers are seeking to raise the profile of research into canals, dikes, moats, conduits, and gutters, also known as ditches. eos.org/articles/the... 🧪

Shell middens suggest that Native Americans likely over-harvested oysters somewhat in the York River around 200 AD, then collectively organized to manage sustainably for 1,400 years, even through socio-political transitions. 🦪 -Martin Gallivan (hosted by Gloucester Historical Society 10/26/25)

Prescribed burns in salt marshes may not have some of the biogeochemical benefits associated with commercial biochars because marsh burns tend to be low temperature. -Andrew Wozniak, NERRS Science Collaborative (umich.zoom.us/webinar/regi...) 🧪

Code Switch team at @npr.org looks at the Population Shift by exploring how this trend has been leveraged by controversial 'pronatalist' figures. How Elon Musk and JD Vance plan to 'save civilization' with more babies : Code Switch www.npr.org/2025/10/29/n...

"When I began saying 'I’m autistic& disabled' something shifted. I stopped apologizing for my limits& started protecting my capacity.

here's a nice ditch expression from my past field work in @aubenews.bsky.social

Me, watching a show entirely unrelated to ecology: Is that phrag?? It IS phrag, UHG!!

"It's past time to recognize that university administrators aren't going to lead the way out of this, [setting] the stage for leadership... from faculty, staff, & students, [where] most if not all progress in higher ed over the past 100 yrs has occurred." www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #AcademicSky

"You encounter a strange, cult-like group that lives in almost total isolation from the outside world. They jealously guard their arcane knowledge and practice some exceedingly cruel rituals."

West was also manager for the radar altimetry data processing project for Seasat, the first satellite designed to collect oceanographic data. #geodesy ⚒️🧪

"A river reset, has transformed an historically straightened 1.2km section of the River Aller... to a more natural state with multiple, cross-connected channels flowing freely, slowly and fully connected to the floodplain," with @fluitans.bsky.social : www.nationaltrust.org.uk/services/med...

“Of course they don't move randomly. And they need to navigate somehow, and the magnetic sense is the perfect thing if you navigate underground.” 🪱🧭 www.npr.org/2025/10/15/n...

"Data shows that expansion of those who participate in academic science produces better science that has a wider impact." From a new research-backed defense of DEI programs published today by Needhi Bhalla @ucsantacruz.bsky.social and peers @ucsdmedschool.bsky.social and @uofmass.bsky.social 👏🏾👏🏼👏

Over time, the entire city becomes more prosperous. Cities can capitalize on this pattern, even if their original transit systems are gone. They can build new transit systems through these highly productive areas and redevelop any empty or underused land.

Bookmarked this for teaching but also for my own kid when he's old enough. "You'll probably forget most of what you learn, especially if you don't end up using it repeatedly in future. What you will always have, though, is the mind that taking the courses made."

ICE has reached the highest death count since the early 2000s. Former employees cite: -There are way more people detained -ICE is making more arrests in communities, which means health histories are less known -years-long struggle to recruit medical pros www.npr.org/2025/10/23/n...

In the last nine months, ICE has spent a whopping $71,515,762 on purchases of “small arms, ordnance and ordnance accessories manufacturing.” Now, the president's masked militia will have access to “guided missile warheads.” trib.al/HE4yiXN
