Please pass along, I’m recruiting PhD students to join our Macroecology Lab @uofa-eeb.bsky.social We study phys ecology, macroecology, biodiversity - spanning scaling, trait-based ecology, theory, comparative biology & ecoinformatics. Several avenues for funding. Please reach out if interested🧪🌐🌾

Academic freedom, along with the bedrock constitutional freedoms of speech, association, expression, and inquiry, form the foundation of American higher education and democracy. alumni.controlshift.app/petitions/tr...

My heart is full, my cup overflowing. Wonderful dinner out with my @coloradocollege.bsky.social Jabailylab alumni, from the classes of '19, '20, '22, '25, '26. Our currently ill '28 was greatly missed. I am so proud of these people (a second family!) and grateful to be together at #Botany2025

I can't stress enough how close U.S. science is to the cliff. "Numbers released in May by the National Science Foundation (NSF) indicate that if Congress approves the cuts to the agency proposed by the White House, the number of early-career researchers it supports could fall by 78%" (@science.org)

🌷🌷🌷 excited to have a preprint of another PhD chapter out! we looked at how species richness, Shannon diversity and phylogenetic diversity changed with experimental warming and cooling via whole-community transplants up and down an elevation gradient in CO. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

very excited that the first paper from my phd is out in ajb!

here's the live link! Please pass it on and spread widely. I'll be talking about Greenland, NSF, melting ice, and why science matters at 11:30 ET.🧪 www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdtI...

Today is a day for action, scientist friends. Don't just go back to whatever paper you're editing or experiment you're running. Talking points: bsky.app/profile/davi... Other advice: ecoevoevoeco.blogspot.com/2025/05/tale...

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.

Funding science is an investment for ALL Americans! 📉 Researchers at American University's Institute for Macroeconomic and Policy Analysis found that a 50% reduction of federal science funding would make Americans $10k poorer. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/30/b...

This is an all-hands-on-deck moment. Read the thread and post public comments and contact your rep.

🙏 We need your help 🙏 The government continues to cancel grants at both NIH and NSF to censor science it doesn't like. We're tracking terminations to organize and advocate. Please report your terminated grants: NIH: forms.gle/J2znQ7y7YpeP... NSF: airtable.com/appGKlSVeXni... w/ @noamross.net
