Join us for this exciting webinar! 👇

🌟International Day of Women and Girls in Science 🌟 Celebrate—absolutely! But don’t stop there. We expect women to endure systems with deep rooted, known systematic biases—and the systems are not motivated to change. Example: It is 2026 and Sweden STILL has only 30% female professors.

"The warm tropical stream harbored the highest species richness, and the colder temperate stream the lowest" Intriguing... Looking forward to reading more. Check it out by Jabiol et al.! #AquaticFungi doi.org/10.21426/B6....

Today!!! 🎉

Hej #AquaticFungi folks. 👇 Who is already working with this?

I just saw this and am excited to share! 🍄 Reverse the Red Day 7 Feb. "Fungal Conservation in the New Year: Species Discovery, Action, Policy, and a Global Strategy" us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Funding for new arts projects focused on fungi - up to a maximum of £5,000. Open to artists from all disciplines and all geographic locations, to help encourage all sectors of society to engage with & learn about the world of fungi! Find out more: www.britmycolsoc.org.uk/massee-arts-...

Did you know that during the World Conservation Congress 2025, an important IUCN Resolutions was approved? "Strengthening conservation efforts for fungi and invertebrates" portals.iucn.org/library/node... #FUNACTION is directly contributing to the efforts towards conservation of #aquaticfungi. 💧🍄

I spent last night with hundreds of people from around the world learning about Joint Species Distribution Modeling from Dr. Otso Ovaskainen. Thanks also for great questions from the live participants! Didn't get to join live? Welcome to watch the recording 👇 @mostfun.bsky.social @geobon.org

If you know me, you know my first thoughts were -- what about fungi--which fungi are acting in this system? No symbiont finds after a quick scearch, BUT the Kohlmeyer et al. 1994 looked into shipworms, marine fungi and decomposition of Mangrove wood.... fun for everyone.

Cool job opportunity —but in the US—so there’s that. Maybe interesting to some?

We are LIVE now!!! Join in to learn about Joint Species Distribution Modeling!

Definite 'inviting the vampire into your home' vibes...does not end well.

Webinar on Monday on Joint Species Distribution Models given by the guru (Otso Ovaskainen) himself! Still some seats left, so join. Registration link below

🚨NEW WEBINAR🚨 Want to know more about Joint Species Distribution Modelling (JSDM)? Then don't miss our next webinar co-organized by #MoSTFun and @geobon.org "An introduction to Joint Species Distribution Modelling". 🕰️ 19 January 2026 at 18:00 CET ✍ Registration: mcgill.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

We invite journalists to visit our Global Climate Highlights press resources page. There you will find additional material to help you cover our latest climate report, including high-definition animated charts, interview clips, B-roll footage, links to applications and much more. bit.ly/4aYaA5V

Join me in giving a late welcome a new Tetracladium! Tetracladium singulare Like those soils on the Tibet Plateau-but this time from glacier soil! Not looking like an aquatic hypho. I didn't have access until now--but hopefully you can check it out! Congrats to the authors!

"it is important to remember that this does not change the science or the relevance of that science to the lives and livelihoods of people in every community, in every part of the world."

How much do we know about #AquaticFungi in peatlands? Very very very little. Just FYI--in case anyone is looking for interesting ideas....

Who's with me? Anyone else see this headline and get excited about what the #AquaticFungi are doing?

This January, I’m hosting a FREE 4-day online bootcamp for scientists focused on grant writing. Thousands of people have attended our previous bootcamps, but this one will be the first one to help you get funded 💰 I want to share why. #NewPI #ECRchat #MSCA #ERCCoG #ERCStG #ERCadv

New preprint out! Using ~75k environmental OTUs + 77 fossil calibrations, we reconstructed a Proterozoic timeline of eukaryote evolution. Our results show crown eukaryotes were already diversifying >1.6 Ga, long before the first undisputed fossils (~1.05 Ga). 🔗 DOI: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I had ❓❓❓ @dorassessment.bsky.social had answers 👍 😁 Researchers— it is important we and our unions engage in these efforts. Our interests are diverse & may differ strongly from funding agencies, universities, etc. — who ARE engaged in this work & ARE powerful. @sulf-union.bsky.social #SACO

Does anyone know how these groups are interacting with researchers as stakeholders? I've written CoARA twice with no answers. Are they developing a a new path for research assessment without us--cuz that doesn't seem ok to me? All for reform 👍--but as stakeholders--we need a direct voice.

Don't forget all these repulsive men who helped boost Jeffrey Epstein's reputation even after his horrific deeds were well known. observer.co.uk/news/interna... People like Martin Nowak, Steven Pinker, Alan Dershowitz, Larry Summers, Lawrence Krauss, et al

Decades ago, Kris Hansen showed 3M that its PFAS chemicals were in people's bodies. Her bosses halted her work. Now she wrestles with the secrets that 3M kept from her and the world. (Published May 2024)

The #AquaticHyphomycete online group have another great programme lined up this week. @zimingwang.bsky.social will be talking to us about isolating living spores for culture work. We'll also be talking about the importance of recording these fungi and whether there is a best way to do that.
