The CAMBIUM NSF NRT is recruiting PhD students @uarizona.bsky.social! Fellowships for interdisciplinary training in biodiversity big data to adapt to & mitigate climate change impacts. Great fit for evolutionary genomics, bioinformatics, plant adaptation, ecology & more. cambium.arizona.edu 🧬🌐🌎

Come to work with us! We are looking for neuroscientists with AI expertise. jobs.wisc.edu/jobs/assista...

Who is going to #ESA2025? Would be great to meet people there!

Really excited to see our perspective on how urbanization affects species interactions out in Nature Cities, hoping to inspire more research on this topic. Hard team work led by former postdoc Pablo Moreno-García. Feel free to discuss! rdcu.be/eyjBj www.nature.com/articles/s44...

In this review at Nature Cities, led by @ecarlen.bsky.social we explored how religion, politics and war drive urban wildlife evolution by shaping environmental conditions and selective pressures. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Really cool work!

Another day testing the limits of resilience. The Alexandria NSF building was designed for the NSF merit review process (gold standard), complete with a floor devoted to panels. Now we aren’t allowed to have in person panels. The loss of US science leadership will haunt this country for decades.

Just passed by a rattlesnake this morning! It was on a rock beside the trail and I was walking from its back to front, so no chance to see it! I was about 2 feet away from it while it rattled! Instantly jumped away from it. Scary and unforgettable experience!

In Nature Climate Change @natclimchange.bsky.social, we show that Extreme Weather Events (EWEs) have strong but different effects on plant and insect phenology, as individuals respond to immediate environmental cues such as EWES, likely more rapidly so than to gradual climate change. rdcu.be/eaLMu
