Another website worth checking is the jobrxiv.org which is great for PIs (preprint principles, free to post) and is becoming increasingly popular

There’s a google doc trying to keep track of funding/grad school admission/hiring freezes & status please share 🧪 docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

State AGs are looking for federal workers who have just been illegally fired to stand as litigants in a new lawsuit trying to freeze further action by DOGE. DM me if that’s you and you’re interested and you’re live in one of the following states: NM, AZ, CA, CT, MD, MI, MN, NV, OR, WA, RI, or VT.

ATTENTION (PLEASE SHARE) If anyone has or knows of any positions that might be appropriate for the NIH staff members who were terminated, please post the information in this thread. There are lots of talented and accomplished people who may be looking for new opportunities.

No job ad yet, but I'll be hiring a postdoc at Purdue in population genetics/quantitative genetics/genomics in plants. DM if you have relevant experience and are potentially interested.

In case folks are interested in contacting their congresspeople about the NIH indirect cuts with some estimates of what they would mean for institutions in their state, here are some estimates based on published F&A rates and funding ... let me know if you want a particular state

The program that changed my life ❤️

Please Repost! We are offering a three-year fully funded doctoral researcher position to study how floral meristem patterning in woodland strawberry, and how it implicates the diversification in floral ground plans in Angiosperm flowers. jobs.helsinki.fi/job/Helsini-...

I’ve spoke to a lot of academics about the NSF funding chaos, but I want to hear from industry scientists too. Is this impacting your work either directly or indirectly? If so, reach out. DM, email ([email protected]) or Signal (kvasquez.12)

Erythranthe eastwoodiae, our rare Eastwood's Monkeyflower, blooming in Escalante Canyon. Named for our most famous Colorado botanist Alice Eastwood. These #nativeplants hang off a sandstone wall where an impermeable layer causes water to seep out of the face. #FallBackFlowers #FallBack to July 30 🌿

I made this video about action steps you can take to speak up for the NIH 🧪 The comments are nottttt passing the vibe check rn but at least the trolls are driving views: youtube.com/shorts/sLLh4...

I just reached out to my senators about the NIH situation. If you need to find out how much impact NIH has in your state in terms of dollars in and their economic impact here's a link: www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...

Something I'm looking forward to in 2025: the Mimulus meeting in Athens, Georgia! Please spread word to your fellow Mimulophiles!

Your daily dose of botanical drawings by Mary Vaux Walcott. Alpine Monkey Flower (Mimulus caespitosus) (1904) In museum: Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C., United States of America. Dimensions: height 26cm, width 17cm. #woman #artist #plants #walcott #botany

Graduating college seniors - looking for a year long research experience? Apply for the RAMP program @uconn.bsky.social @uconnramp.bsky.social in genomics. Please RT

If you know anyone who might be interested in working as a technician before a PhD, I'm looking for someone to work with me to generate some amazing data to understand the genetics of behavior, sex differences, and reproduction in an evolutionary context. Bonus? Amazing and supportive department!

Please consider helping to get my #MimulusPropaganda on the cover of #FASEB meeting! 🤗 #plantsciences #microscopy 🧪🔬🌾🌸🌱

Wishing everyone good health, happiness, and peace in 2025!

Really proud of this one. Nothing speaks more true to my sentiments on the value of open source and accessible hardware. Hoping it can be a guide for fellow researchers. Look out for my next collab with @sarraceniamason.bsky.social, hopefully this coming year! pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Come explore the @universityofga.bsky.social Herbarium with us! I had the best day with Herbarium Director @tmariewms.bsky.social & her amazing team of plant people learning about this incredible collection 🥹🌱🌸 youtube.com/shorts/FRuS3... #botany #science #plants

Please forward: 2-year post-doc position in the lab Evo-Eco-Paleo (Lille, France) to work on plant self-incompatibility & evolution - email me if interested!

I have funding available in my lab at NC State for a graduate student interested in plant evolutionary genetics, especially in weeds. Please email me by Dec 20 for full consideration. Details and contact info on the lab website: avanwallendael.github.io/#joining-the-lab

We've traditionally used N. benthamiana for transient color assays in our lab. We recently tried the same assay in N. tabacum and the results are ✨stunning✨! This plant was injected with an anthocyanin-activating R2R3-MYB on the left, and empty plasmid on the right.

The first chapter of my dissertation with @carriewessi.bsky.social is now available as a preprint!! Give it a read if you are interested in learning more about the evolutionary history of an EXTREMELY cool floral type called personate flowers!!

Another fantastic video from @science-irl.bsky.social, this time highlighting the beautiful work by @yangong.bsky.social in developing a stable transformation protocol for Columbine!

My first post here! We’re looking for an enthusiastic plant developmentalist to join our team as a postdoc working on how this wonderful plant builds sexually deceptive flowers. Link here: www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/49334/

We've been growing monkeyflowers hydroponically for the past few months using the design by @atinygreencell.bsky.social. The plants are doing great, and this has given us the opportunity to experiment with some fun chemical treatments! The aesthetic appeal is also a nice bonus!

Dear planty people, what flowers have the coolest patterns on their petals? I will start: Saxifraga rotundifolia

You asked for it...

Check out the latest video by @science-irl.bsky.social featuring the UConn Botanical Conservatory! And be sure to visit if you're ever on campus--it's one of my favorite spots! 🌿🌵🌻🪴

I am ***absurdly*** excited to announce the launch of a new funding opportunity through Experiment dot com!!! You have one month to pitch something wonderful in the realm of plant biology/biotech research and education. $10,000 max grant. PLEASE RE-POST + SHARE!!! 1/3 experiment.com/programs/pla...

*Highly recommend* a simple plug in called Color Oracle: colororacle.org It’s a free color blindness simulator. Just one click, it shows you in real time what people with common color vision impairments will see on your screen. I use it to doublecheck everything! #microscopy #figures #academicsky

Hi bluesky, it sure is nice to be here! I'm Molly, I'm a plant biologist turned science communicator 🌱 I make videos with researchers to bring their science stories to life! You can find me on YT/insta/tt as Science IRL 🧬🎥 Excited to re-meet everyone here and make new #science & #scicomm friends!

Just a quick introduction post: Im Javi, I am currently a PhD student at UCONN studying parasitic copepods! I am passionate about mentoring, science communication. I have a podcast highlighting LGBTQ+ scientists. In my free time I play video games, rewatch my favorite shows/animes and drink coffee 💜

Evolutionary genetics focussed friends!! Has anyone successfully applied for the NRSA F32 (postdoc level) fellowship in the past 3 years? Or perhaps do you know someone that has? Please feel free to send me a message if you are willing to share tips, advice, materials, etc. 😊 🌱Thanks in advance 🎉

Hello BlueSky 👋🏼 I'm new to this community so here's a quick intro--I'm an Asst. Research Prof in the Yuan lab at UConn. I use the anthocyanin leaf stripe phenotype of Mimulus verbenaceus (pictured) to study the genetics, development, and evolution of novel phenotypes. Also love running & dogs.

New to this platform so here is a collection of Monkeyflower pictures to get things going!

A quick note to all the NewSkys: there really isn’t algorithm here. We depend on each other to spread the word. So if you want others to see something, repost it. Liking something adds it to your feed but doesn’t surface it for others.

Just wanted to let folks know that I am still looking to fill this position. I am hoping to start reviewing applications on Monday. Thanks for passing this along to anyone who might be interested.
