My Canadian university, Queen's, is offering TWENTY 4-year funded PhDs (40k CAD/yr) for a student of ANY citizenship who has been accepted at a top 100 US university but have had offer rescinded OR are reconsidering offer due to US policy. Details found here👇 www.queensu.ca/grad-postdoc...

🔔Trump’s Fool’s Gold EO is facing MAJOR backlash. THOUSANDS of scientists, academics, & physicians - including us - are speaking out against this political assault on science. Our Open Letter is featured here: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/c...

🧪 Detailed data viz NYT article, out today, on the extent of funding cuts at the National Science Foundation. This "broken pie chart" is neat & new to me: Powerfully shows the slowdown in new NSF awards across areas. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

My ongoing request: If your NSF or NIH grant was terminated--whether at Harvard or elsewhere--please report it here. NSF: grant-watch.us/submit-nsf.h... NIH: grant-watch.us/submit-nih.h... Our trackers are actively used in lawsuits and are often the only record that terminations ever occurred.

We are hiring an Assistant/Associate Prof of Quantitative Ecology! I'm on the Search Committee for this one. If you have any interest in the position & want to learn more about living in this v. cool part of the country, pls reach out! tinyurl.com/2h6bdece

"The Department of Agriculture employs entomologists, botanists and mycologists — experts in insects, plants and fungi, respectively — who inspect agricultural products for pests and pathogens. Many of those specialists were also let go on Friday."

I am using this episode of Hidden Brain in class to discuss the importance of debate and dialogue for developing the most creative and robust solutions. It is particularly timely right now to be able to separate a task conflict with a relationship conflict. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

Today, the USDA lost experts in Psylloidea, Thysanoptera, Cerambycidae, Hymenoptera, Pseudococcidae, and Malacology. This is a devastating loss of expertise, occuring without warning. Their union's official statement on the issue can be found here: aginspectors.org/2-14-2025-a-... #entomology 🧪

USDA firing the newest hires across the board means they are purging experts relevant to new and emerging threats; e.g., people who combat the Citrus Greening disease that's collapsing Florida's citrus industry. Just the dumbest strategy imaginable. Unless the goal is to collapse the US.

Apparently all the PhD researchers holding prestigious NSF-funded research fellowships are having their salaries withheld until some unspecified time when the leadership figures out how to eliminate any grant funding that doesn’t align with the president’s political ideology.
