Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."

Lovely article by LAist journalist Julia Barajas who interviewed me about my family's Mexican repatriation corrido and incredible photographs by photojournalist Carlin Stiehl. With deep gratitude to both these awesome journalists for covering this all too timely story! laist.com/news/educati...

I am not a fan of incompetent leaders in general but incompetent leaders who wield and weaponize equity language without understanding its foundations are perhaps the ones that I get the most frustrated with 🤬

Its that time again - the list of Ecology/Evolution/Marine Bio Labs recruiting grad students for Fall 2026 is live! PIs enter your position info here: forms.gle/2XTHBP6CZGEn... Prospective students (and PIs not recruiting) share the composite list: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Please share! 🧪

The worst happened. We were DOGE’d. Our NSF funding is gone. So now there’s nothing stopping me from sharing Expert Voices Together, a crisis response system for US-based researchers and journalists facing harassment. It's a true passion project. 🧵 1/ expertvoicestogether.org

Check it out! 🎧🦈🌊

I sat down with Jaida Elcock (@sofishtication.bsky.social), a marine biologist studying basking sharks, and Danny (@ecoevodanny.bsky.social), a coral researcher & HHMI (@hhmi.org) Gilliam Fellow, to talk all things ocean! 🦈🌿🌊 We explored their journeys, research, and more!

I had the best time chatting with Sabrina Imbler (@sabs.bsky.social), an incredible science writer and author, and Angelique (@vangeliqueallen.bsky.social), a scientist and passionate science communicator making her podcast debut! 🎙️

Rockin her speech in St Paul! 📣 for @standupforscience.bsky.social 👏👏 Hey @therealdrdukes.bsky.social looks like it was a sunny day to rally in MN!

See you tomorrow (Wednesday) at 10am PST with Arjun and @ecoevodanny.bsky.social! Register via the QR code to get the zoom link

Los Angeles people: join us 12pm March 7 for a rally for science at the Federal Building in Westwood, and please spread the word to any pro-science folks you know. @standupforscience.bsky.social @latimes.com @ktla.com @abc7.bsky.social @kcrw.com @laist.com @crooked.com @nbcla.com @foxla.bsky.social

Welcome to the Bluesky account for Stand Up for Science 2025! Keep an eye on this space for updates, event information, and ways to get involved. We can't wait to see everyone #standupforscience2025 on March 7th, both in DC and locations nationwide! #scienceforall #sciencenotsilence

Revisiting this excellent blog post from @jedidiahcarlson.com to push my work. The section on scientific activists is one of my favs,"synthesizing the lessons learned from past radical science movements provides us with a path forward" magazine.scienceforthepeople.org/online/sprea...

📣 Scientists and supporters of science: here's an opportunity to make our collective voice heard! #standupforscience rallies on March 7: standupforscience2025.org

We've gotten a lot of questions about who's behind #standupforscience2025 - and in the spirit of transparency, we made a starter pack of our core team ☀️ We're a group of early-career scientists who are passionate about the ability of science to drive progress! go.bsky.app/SHLNvG1

alright, alright, alright I’ve had enough, join us for #standupforscience2025 ! ( & happy international day of women in science to this amazing SUFS team 😤🧬) @cdelawalla.bsky.social @samschuelstein.bsky.social @emmalovesscience.bsky.social #scienceforall #sciencenotsilence

OK Yinzers- it's time to stand up for science!!! I will be at Schenley Plaza TODAY AT 5PM. 🙏 please join me there! We need to let people know what's happening!🙏 And yes, I know it's Valentine's Day #StandupForScienceWithYourSweetie 💗💕🧑‍🔬👨‍🔬👩‍🔬💕 💗 Please repost and do something similar at your campus!🧪

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

So incredibly frustrated right now. SHOW! Don't talk! The NSF has a congressional mandate to "broaden participation of underrepresented groups, including women and other minorities, within [STEM]". Are there any legal scholars on this app that can break these moves down? Truly at a loss...

Check out my first chapter 📖🧬. I’m very grateful to have worked with such a brilliant and supportive team 😊

Grateful for some good news after this last week - first dissertation chapter for @ecoevodanny.bsky.social is out now in Ecology & Evolution! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... 🧪

#introductions My name is Daniel (he/him) and I’m a PhD candidate at USC studying coral and anemone photo symbiosis. 🪸🤠 In addition, I’m usually thinking of or contributing to education and outreach projects. 📚✏️Or making birira. 🥩🌶️ Website: doliva13.wixsite.com/website Instagram: @eco_evo_danny

The lab has ✨things✨! 😍

This week, Dr. Mike Love (@mikelove.bsky.social) and I co-hosted Angela Saini. We discussed bridging science and society, and her works include the fantastic books: - ⁠Inferior: How Science Got Women Wrong and the New Research That’s Rewriting the Story⁠⁠ - Superior: The Return of Race Science

Had so much fun talking about tidepools and how animals in them move with a great group of kids during yesterday’s Fun Interactive Science Hour (FISH) at the Angeles Mesa library branch!

If y’all have some time next Tuesday come join us in highlighting the perspectives of indigenous and local coral reef scientists 🪸🤗🐠.

Happy to announce I’m a PhD candidate now. 🪸🍾

Hello SACNISTAS! In an effort to highlight student posters related to evolutionary biology, the Evolution societies are interested in sharing student posters. If you would like to be included respond to this post or DM me or @ecoevodanny.bsky.social! #2023NDiSTEM #EcoEvoPresents #EvolSACNAS @sacnas
