Hey that’s my PhD adviser! 🥰🎉🥂 Congratulations @acstone.bsky.social ! You’re a role model for us all 🧑‍🔬

Today, our #SCIMaP team released an impact analysis of the White House proposed FY 2027 NIH and NSF budgets. Bottom-line: if enacted, cuts to science and medical research would lead to $35B in economic losses and 150,000 lost jobs in communities all across the US. scienceimpacts.org 🧵

We (with @gatag.bsky.social) are happy to share our discussion, where we explore three cases of matrilocality and genetic matriline connections identified with ancient DNA. You can find the open access paper published in evolutionary human sciences: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

We present DNAharvester 🎉🦴🚜🧬 A pipeline to process highly degraded ancient DNA data that integrates metagenomic filtering, competitive mapping, multiple alignment strategies, reference bias evaluation and much more. GitHub: github.com/NBISweden/DN... Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Did you enjoy following the Artemis II mission? Time to stand up for science to make sure missions like this continue to launch. Contact your representatives and tell them to protect science funding for NASA and other agencies like NSF, NIH, & USDA. We can change this if we act TOGETHER! 🚀

A call for urgent action to protect wild yak in the Himalayan regions🧪 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... This paper highlights the urgent need for transboundary conservation policies to ensure the long-term survival of wild yaks and the ecological resilience of the Himalayan region.

Why is the U.S. National Science Foundation important? Why is NSF SBE important? Please share your stories! Use the hashtags #WithoutNSF or #WithoutScience or #WithoutNSFsbe

The U.S. administration released the FY 2027 Budget Request this morning, proposing deep cuts to science funding once again. While there are similarities in the proposed cuts between FY26 and FY27, the final FY26 appropriations show the impact of advocacy in action.

Saving SBE starts before the bill is written. SBE needs a distinct FY27 appropriation. If your sch. is on the list, get a group of colleagues to meet w your House/Sen. offices. Esp. for Republican seats, direct constituent comms matter. Timeline/templates/updates: www.paigeamormino.com/pages/9337

BREAKING: In response to huge cuts in Trump's budget request, NSF is shuttering its SBE directorate. Staff will be transferred to other parts of the agency and "grants that align with Administration priorities" will be maintained. That & more w/ @maxkozlov.bsky.social & @edwrdchen.bsky.social

The President's fiscal year 2027 Budget was released today. Important---Important---Important The President's Budget is always fundamentally a political document that Congress may or may not (usually not) take very seriously. www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u... 1/9

Once again it is time to contract your representatives: The FY27 budget request for NSF (see nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/FY-202...) would get rid of the Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences.

You have a time machine. You go back 15 and a half thousand years ago. So people have dogs? Are they fed what people eat and are they buried alongside their humans? We need answers to these burning doggy questions!

Two new studies of Neanderthal DNA from @massilanilab.bsky.social, @hrougier.bsky.social, @mpi-eva-leipzig.bsky.social and others show our ancient cousins survived for millennia in small, geographically isolated groups. www.science.org/content/arti... @science.org 🧬🏺

Professorship in Early Hominin Evolution at the University of Tübingen: uni-tuebingen.de/universitaet... Application deadline: 11/03/2026

Honestly, yeah, LFG. Maybe this is meant to feed biotech AI slop but we can outcompete them with good scientific proposals. If you’re interested in a post-doc applying neural networks to better integrate ancient DNA to demographic models reach out to me. I’ll help you tool the application for “AI”.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.
