BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

With the updated RCV totals just released by the Board of Elections, our campaign has officially earned the most total votes in a primary in New York City history.

‘Biodiversity is not declining’ is a claim you may have heard. But science says otherwise. 📉 The @ipbes.net #GlobalAssessment reveals 1 million plant & animal species are at risk of extinction. Misinformation clouds the crisis. Rely on trusted research to understand our shared challenges. 🌍🧪

Nature is so wild. "Yes, I believe I will evolve to eat the bark of trees, and I'll chop down trees with my teeth to get at the tender bits up high, and I will use the leftovers to make a dam, and to make a house." What?

Last night at Moth Night, we saw a lot more than moths. The highlight was happening upon this beaver absolutely chowing down on some wood, corn on the cob style. You’re gonna want to put your sound on for this one.

Truly honored and humbled (and genuinely surprised) to be the 2025 IPGSA @ipgsa2025.bsky.social Silver Medalist along w/ the eminent plant biologists, John Bowman and Jenny Russinova. Thank you. Plant peptides rock!! 🥰

Our next extraordinary biologist is Christophe Leterrier, one of the founding Scientific Advisory Board members of @focalplane.bsky.social and the author of one of the most popular FocalPlane posts. #100biologists

We will never be silent. The Trump administration has placed 139 EPA staffers on leave after they signed a letter of dissent opposing the agency’s current direction and policies. Silencing experts won’t silence the truth.

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie. One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears. They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

Today marks a special anniversary for us. On July 1, 1858, the theory of evolution by natural selection was first presented at a Linnean Society meeting. Papers written by Charles Darwin & Alfred Russel Wallace were read, shaping a groundbreaking idea still powering science today: buff.ly/uBdX7N1

The latest @dev-journal.bsky.social poster on stem cell-based models of early human development is proving popular at #ISSCR2025. Come and get your free copy at stand 911 before they are gone.

This was such a fun session and I’m so grateful to the folks organizing #Worm25 for inviting me! Hearing about Dr. Padilla’s journey and advocacy and then getting to talk about my own story was awesome! Be kind, communicate with people, fight misinformation, and find your community to thrive! 🧬 💪🏽

VP Vance has cast the deciding vote in the Senate to cut Medicaid, take away food assistance, blow up the deficit, and add tax breaks for the wealthiest. This bill is unpopular because it is wrong. Congress votes this week, but it’s our voices - and our votes - that will have the final say.

EVs! The morning #worm25 cell bio session kicked off with @inikon.bsky.social talking about proximity labeling to define #cilia #extracellularvesicle subtypes followed by @ahnaskop.bsky.social speaking on the #midbody - a ginormous RNA translating EV🤯 #celegans

Happy to be the next (and 1st female) @crg.eu director. The CRG always stood out to me, for its excellence in understanding life's principles, with implications for health and biodiversity, & its collaborative, open and innovative way of doing science. Thrilled to join its amazing community in 2026!

🌊 A lab with a view. Did you know the Institute has a year-round #research presence at the legendary @mblscience.bsky.social in #WoodsHole? 1,500 miles apart—united by a shared mission to understand how life works. 🔬 Read more: bit.ly/4nytF2o

My lab standing up for science in Chicago!

Super excited to hear @rogerslabucd.bsky.social and Pam Padilla talk in the #worm25 afternoon session!!! #axolotl joins #celegans

Hard to remember that just 12 years ago there was no @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social and almost no one in the biology community preprinted their work. What a long way we’ve come. @reinierprosee.bsky.social and I wrote a thing about how @biologists.bsky.social embraced the preprint world

Fu**ing corruption.

Super exciting and beautiful new work from the talented @mathithiru.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This paper is now published at @diffjournal.bsky.social! Congratulations to all the hardworking students who made it happen! Shout out to authors 1 & 2! MJ is our “axolotl whisperer” and Raneesh is our computational wizard- both DVM/PhD students @ucdavisvetmed.bsky.social! 💫 doi.org/10.1016/j.di...

Very nice to see all the Bronner lab members at the GRC!

#shapinglife3 was a great @sfbd.bsky.social meeting! Here's my short post on @the-node.bsky.social about it :)

Our recent preprint on how elevated temperatures affect early embryo development. We are using fly embryos to address this fundamental question, and seeing mitotic defects, which can be rescued to improve embryo survival. doi.org/10.1101/2023...

Congratulations!! Very well deserved award!!

I'll be presenting my jerboa and mouse tail research at #ICDB2025 @socdevbio.bsky.social this week during the 'Role of Scaling in Development and Evolution' session on Friday. Hope to see you there!!

I went with @ceriweber.bsky.social to the Puerto Rico Museum of Art and it is pretty neat

Great news!!! 🤩🙌 We are excited to announce the availability of travel funds to trainees that present at our #PASEDB25 meeting This funding was made possible by a new NSF grant to #PASEDB ✨ Apply for travel assistance here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Coming soon to a webinar format in your vicinity....more tk! #zebrafish #devbio #ShareYourTools 🐽

Great dinner with current and former members of the lab, as well as current and former Duke members and friends of the lab. Great to catch up with @ceriweber.bsky.social ,Ben, @woonyunghur.bsky.social and share stories. Great @socdevbio.bsky.social meeting!

Celebrating Blanche Capel with fellow Capel Lab alum Lindsey Barske at #2025ICDB #2025SDB @socdevbio.bsky.social

Congratulations to @evodevodiva.bsky.social on her lifetime achievement award! Undergrad research in the Swalla lab helped make me into the evodevo scientist I am today.

Love my #DevBio community! Congratulations on an amazing meeting! #2025ICDB @socdevbio.bsky.social @uribelab.bsky.social @mikepiacentino.bsky.social @ceriweber.bsky.social

Haven’t posted on here in awhile, so sharing my new preprint is a great way to get back into the bluesky science community!

Students at #Evol2025 @evolmtg.bsky.social can stop by the University of Chicago press/American naturalist booth in the poster area to sign up for a one year free membership to the American Society of naturalists with the many benefits that entails

And I will fight to the death to retain this right

It was wonderful to see you and safe travels home! Wonderful meetings!!

It is #InsectWeek! Which, as many of my papers show, and @restingdinoface.bsky.social has summarized, means we are in fact celebrating crustaceans. BUGS. IS. SHRIMPS. 🧪🦋🐝🪲🐞🦗🪳🪰🦐🦐🦐🦐
