One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

I’ve met so many amazing people on here (and the *other place*) who challenge the colonial project of gender, some in big ways, some just through your actions. I just want to say that I really appreciate you.
You are changing this world for the better.

Katie Moon uses her experience with ancient DNA to identify species of native plants in sediment cores at Bolin Bolin. The findings will be used to support revegetation efforts lead by Wurundjuri research teams, elders and land managers 🧬🌳

Suggestion; instead of posting : “Well people should just—“
Go do it.
Don’t tell others to do it.
Get off your ass and take action. Organize. Build infrastructure to make it happen. Find other efforts you can join already doing that work.

Introducing New Zealand's latest Bug of the Year- the magnificent Ngāokeoke / Velvet Worm!
NZ has two genera: one lays eggs (Ooperipatellus, 1st photo) and another gives live birth (Peripatoides, 2nd). They also deposit sperm which burrow through their partner's skin, but that's another story! 🧪

Reiterating my call to fellow federally-funded scientists: Call your reps, tell them how this hurts science and everything good that comes from science
(Also non-scientists, and scientists without federal funding! But the more of us who can directly speak to the impacts of these freezes the better)

The National Science Foundation cancelled over 60 grant review panels today, effectively grinding funding of new projects to a halt.
The so-far indefinite pause comes as NSF grapples with the impact Trump's executive orders will have on their grantmaking process.

National Science Foundation freezes grant review in response to Trump executive orders
The National Science Foundation has cancelled all grant review panels this week. It's unclear how long the pause could last.
