Honored to share that I’ve been awarded the 2026 Plant Conservation Biology Fellowship from the Oak Spring Garden Foundation! Excited to spend two weeks on their estate finishing my dissertation and writing about plant conservation.

Someone just bought one of my trans fern pins! 🎊 It's always exciting to move just a little bit closer to breaking even on this design. The 3D molding was so worth it and I'm so proud of how they came out, even if I am still over £1000 down in making them 😅

Please spread the words. This is the third annual AP search in our department to extend the junior faculty cohort!

It's outrageous that taxpayer dollars were ever used to pay more than $2000 to publish a single article. While it does cost money to have research peer-reviewed and published, the system doesn't make sense when the big publishers are making more money than Google or Amazon. 🧪 #SciPub #AcademicSky

The UCLA Faculty Association has filed a California Public Records Act request for the DOJ ransom letter sent to UCLA, after it was learned yesterday that the UC and the Regents and UCLA administration has no intention of sharing it with faculty.

#hypocrisy "In the past 50 years, more Republican presidents have been male cheerleaders than seen combat." Think about that. . .

Are professional economists truly objective when forecasting economic projections? New research from Wake Forest University suggests otherwise, revealing a subtle yet powerful influence of political affiliation on predictions of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth. #WFUResearch

Hi! 👋🏻 I’m Matt, a Professor in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at UC Irvine w/ an inordinate fondness for #seaweeds. My research examines the attributes, roles, & vulnerability of habitat-forming foundation species on rocky shores & their ability to protect other species against environmental stress.

When I started @StacksJournal.bsky.social, I thought the hardest part would be building a modern #PeerReview platform. Turns out, it's when you're slowly gaining traction. Some days it's overwhelming. Other days, a researcher says, "We need this so badly." It all keeps me going. 🧪 #SciPub

Our "Joshua tree is CAM" paper is finally out: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Data collection started back in 2021, when we saw weird results in some RNAseq that made me stop and wonder if Joshua trees, long thought to be C3, were actually...CAM!
