I'm a professor at the flagship university for the fourth whitest state in the US. Over 80% of our students are white. The biggest barrier to access here is that due to lack of state funding, we have top 10 highest tuition per capita of public unis in the country. We also have a food pantry.

University of Nebraska-Lincoln is hiring an Assistant Professor specializing in insect systematics. Opportunities like this are rare and valuable! (Not many jobs like this out there!) Spread the word to anyone who might be interested or benefit. #entomology #science #sciencejobs #bugsky 🧪

The legendary Janzen & Hallwachs on the collapse of insects. “It’s the same sheet, same lights same place, looking over the same vegetation. Same time of year, same time of the moon cycle, everything about it is identical... There’s just no moths on that sheet.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I have a print on canvas of the pictured illustration (Limenitis) in my office, a nice parting gift from the KSU Entomology department where I worked for several years. These prints are fantastic, great opportunity to support the grad club and hang some amazing scientific illustrations on your wall!

Looking for a postdoc on bacterial-insect symbiosis, combining evolution and molecular mechanisms? I'll have one open in my lab starting Sept 2025. If interested contact me (or find me at the GRC on Animal-microbe symbiosis if you'll be there). #SymbioSky

NYU canceled a planned speech by the former president of Doctors Without Borders because she planned to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and cuts to US AID. This is what actual campus censorship looks like.

Just when you think it can't get any worse, The White House endorsed scientific racism today. Their order on the Smithsonian states that the institution, "promotes the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct, stating 'Race is a human invention'." Race is a human invention.

“The love for our parks, we go camping.” “I’m a field botanist. I come to do plant ecology.” “I come out here when I’ve had rough moments in my life. It provides peace.” “They’re taking futures away from kids like me who want to be a park ranger.” #ProtectOurParks @resistancerangers.bsky.social

Columbia University grad student whose ‘self-deportation’ was celebrated by DHS explains how she was hounded by ICE—despite ‘legal’ status and lack of involvement with encampment—and utterly abandoned to her fate by the university. www.normanfinkelstein.com/letter-from-...

This was a fun review to work on with James deMayo. We highlight genome-enabled studies from the last ~20 years that provide lab and field perspectives on (often rapid) thermal adaptation. Thanks to JEB for fantastic editorial support!

Fruit flies originated in the tropics, but many species have colonized colder regions of the globe. Moos & co recently discovered that instead of accumulating cryoprotectants, most species change the makeup of their cell membranes to combat the cold journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/... 🧵1/2

Winters have been warming rapidly in the contiguous US over the past 50 years. There are now on average 13 fewer days where temperatures get below freezing (0C, 32F), with some places seeing nearly full month that no longer gets below freezing: www.carbonbrief.org/...

I lost my job at the National Science Foundation yesterday, along with 167 of my colleagues, including some dear friends. This was the best job I've ever had, and I thought it would be my last. The PI community has been sympathetic and supportive, without exception. I will miss working for you.

Thoughtful piece by Greg Gibson pushing strongly back on the "Heritable polygenic editing" article genomestake.substack.com/p/genome-edi...

Do mutations that drive evolution improve many traits or few? Does this change over the course of evolution? Excited to share our work in PLOS Biology exploring these questions in the first 2 adaptive steps w/ Yuping Li, @gsherloc.bsky.social, @petrovadmitri.bsky.social 🧵 doi.org/10.1371/jour...
