Really comprehensive and brutal description of what’s going on at US science agencies by @dereklowe.bsky.social. Read to the end: because this doesn’t need to continue, the rest is not inevitable. We can fight back.

Worried about losing access to US federal data that may go off-line, or already is? You’re not alone—but duplication isn’t the answer. Many ongoing efforts have already archived key datasets and many more are ongoing. Check out these existing resources and, if you can, support their work. 🧵

Dear Modern Humans, You thought you were so much smarter than people from the Middle Ages. But you're not. Why do you think the dark ages lasted so long? It was because of greedy, insane despots who crushed progress and dangerous thoughts. It won't end until you rise up and overthrow them all.

“‘It’s very easy to assume that science is going to change organically towards equality — and what this study shows is that that’s not happening…It is an ‘important reminder for us that we need to stay vigilant in working towards equality in science’” @crsugimoto.bsky.social 🧪 #AcademicSky 👩🏽‍🔬

Hi, everyone - it’s #PhycologyFriday! Be sure to check out the awesome folks in the “Algal Appreciation” starter pack, & lmk if you’d like to be added. go.bsky.app/RwMphxS

Friends, plz repost and share! We are hiring a lab technician with exp in mol biology and general lab management. BS or MS degree and good org skills are required. Deadline Feb 1, 2025. We are a welcoming and equitable lab community. Details at link below. 🐸🐢🐍🦎 zamudiolab.org/2024/12/18/k...

Have had some good chats recently about pivoting to non-profit and society journals. A point to share/underline is that such options exist across the "prestige" spectrum. Some examples in the image. All heavily subjective of course; would love to hear thoughts from others!

An incredible stat: more than HALF of global GDP – some $50 trillion – is moderately to highly dependent on nature. From the @ipbes.bsky.social Nexus report. www.newscientist.com/article/2461...

We have a fully funded PhD position out focusing on adaptation strategies in filamentous Cyanobacteria www.slu.se/en/about-slu... please share to those potentially interested 😊

Ok, here you have the Starter Pack. This is just the beginning, and we will be adding more researchers progressively. go.bsky.app/BBgq3df

Stuck this to the window and now the world makes a LITTLE more sense...

Lets put this back in the feed and see if there is anyone else who who'd like to be added. We are getting your future grad students ready, and plan on writing a book one day…maybe. go.bsky.app/RnHK313

Blueskyers: how do you get totally green undergrads going with command line? Does your institution offer a class? Book/workbook? Struggling to provide the support needed for an independent project when starting from square 1

Now hiring: Are you a technician? Do you enjoy the lab? Plants 🌱? DNA 🧬? Microscopes 🔬? We are looking for you! We are looking for a Biological Technical Assistant for the new molecular botany lab at @rwth.bsky.social Aachen. Please apply! www.biologie.rwth-aachen.de/cms/biologie...

Mentoring is the freaking best! Just received a PhD defense invite from a student who completed and published an INCREDIBLE REU project in my PhD advisor’s lab and I had the absolute honor of working closely with them. So proud of them 🥹

Playing with seaweed and cyanotypes with @raemariew.bsky.social

Duke's herbarium is the second-largest private university herbarium in the US, behind Harvard, and Duke is seen as a research leader; when collections like this close, it endangers others, especially at smaller institutions. This could be very bad if other universities follow suit.

This whole thing is gutting.

MAMMOLOGIST JOB IN CALIFORNIA! Permanent, decently paid, unionized job. PhD not required. Based in Sacramento. Happy to answer what questions I can calcareers.ca.gov/CalHrPublic/...

How can we understand ecological dynamics or solve global crises when we have such an incomplete accounting of which organisms exist that create these phenomena? New scicomm article out in Global Water Forum about biodiversity, protists, + microscopy. www.globalwaterforum.org/2024/02/15/b...

Did ya'll know that we've got a solid name for the photosynthetic algae in TSAR? Nodulae Algarum pub provides summary of why we should now use Heterokontophyta. Perhaps it's now the THAR group? What do ya’ll think? #protistsonsky #algaeonsky

Great title for some really scary research demonstrating that Louisiana's wetlands are drowning as ocean levels rise. They project that 75% of Louisiana's coastal wetlands could plausibly drown by 2070 🧪🌎

Clear smoking-gun evidence that one of the most critically endangered marine mammals was killed by lobster fishing gear- something lobstermen have been vehemently claiming is impossible.

tl,dr; a donor came forward with a million dollars to expand the herbarium, forcing Duke to think about how much the institution values research archives. Turns out: not very much.
