Reviewing for Nature/Science-style articles is so frustrating because all the methods are either completely glossed over or buried in the supplements. I'm not suspicious by nature I just wanna know what the heck statistics actually happened to produce those very fancy multi-panel figures!!!

Y'all. N>3,800. !!!!!!! Goodness gracious.

this seems to be a bit premature, no? www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

As droughts become longer and more intense, their toll on ecosystems could be far greater than we thought. Our new paper in @science.org shows how prolonged & extreme droughts cause dramatic, cumulative losses in ecosystem productivity across the globe www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

BOOM! 💥💥💥 Brown REJECTS Trump’s loyalty oath! “I’m concerned the compact, by its nature & provisions, would restrict #academicfreedom & undermine the autonomy of Brown’s governance, critically compromising our ability to fulfill our mission.” — Christina H. Paxson, Brown University President

Is there a running list anywhere of Postdoc->Faculty Bridge programs (or similar types of programs)?! I'm really interested in seeing what opportunities there are that are cohort-based &/or have professional development aspects that help folks navigate the academic application/interview process.

🌎 Support for Long-Term Ecological Studies Matters Now More Than Ever I am excited to share our new paper: “Long-term ecological studies must continue: insights from a dryland transition zone” co-authored with Huong LE, Ph.D. and Scott Collins. link.springer.com/article/10.1... 1/5

Apps close tomorrow for UGA's Integrated Plant Sciences PhD program preview event! This week-long virtual event demystifies the grad application process, provides opportunities to meet with faculty and grad students, and grants a grad app fee waiver! 🌾🧪🌍🍄 plantcenter.uga.edu/access-previ...

Very bad: OSU unilaterally cancelled the registration of grad students attending the joint conference of the National Society of Black Physicists and the National Society of Hispanic Physicists. And OSU won't fund recruiting at the Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science.

We will start matching mentors and mentees this weekend. We have 52 mentors and 91 students signed up so far. We can support more mentors and students (UG, Postbac, & Grad).

Very few things are as fun and as immediately gratifying as doing a Skype a Scientist classroom visit. I just had the best time talking with 3rd graders in NJ! Huge shoutout to @skypeascientist.bsky.social for making it such a seamless experience and building a platform for this critical mission! 🧪

📣 New PhD student position opening in my lab! Soils are full of microbes, but how many are active? Surprisingly, we still lack reliable methods to answer this. If you are interested in microbial dormancy and are fascinated by the Alps and glacier forefields, contact me. 🏔️ 🦠 💤 🧬 🎓

Holy crap. This is terrible. The article states it's "not related to the current U.S. government shutdown". But of course it is: they are both connected by the GOP destroying everything good about this country from the top down and the bottom up.
