Everything is official, so I can finally share that our #DISES proposal on the #PollinatorCommons has been funded by
#NSF!
We'll be working w/ small-scale apple producers in N India & Central NY to study collective action for the conservation of wild pollinators. 🐝🌸🌳🍎👩‍🌾

In this time of uncertainty, I am grateful for this research team. This collaboration. These friends.

And the stress of figuring out how to move forward w a project when u have no idea if $ will continue -or-
the weird feelings of “it sucks right here, but it’s worse for that person/dept /school so I guess I shouldn’t vent” -or -
the sense of dread for even more newly hired or USGS co-op colleagues

Colin Carlson @colincarlson.bsky.social · May 28

It would be nice if there were more support groups for what’s happening to scientists right now. I don’t need more information firehose or more suggestions for ways to take action; I’m set on both. I just want to talk to other new PI’s about how hard it is right now

No one talks enough about how funny looking academic regalia is.

Happy #WorldBeeDay from this Apis cerana* and the #PollinatorCommons Project

*A. cerana is native to the low Himalayas & is an important pollinator of apples in that region.

Ginger Allington @gigirose.bsky.social · May 16

NY fieldwork is underway on our #PollinatorCommons project. The team is out here sampling all of the cool native bees that live in our forests….and then pollinate our apples! 🍎 🍏🍎🍏

The EPA is canceling almost 800 environmental justice grants, court filing reveals.

The agency is sending out notices of termination to 781 awardees, almost twice the number of canceled grants that had been previously reported.

In the past two days I have dried & pinned bees, helped plan forest plots for lidar scans & spent hours planning for experimental games to feed an agent based model.
This is how you Interdisciplinary Science.
Love this team so much.

Time to start the next big field push for our #PollinatorCommons project. The whole team is in India for the next 3 weeks.

Tomorrow we start setting up pollination exclusion experiments on 60 farms.

The rest of us will be back in a few weeks.

The 5th graders of Ithaca are continuing to fight the good fight.
Literally got teary today listening to them talk about the Human Rights heroes they were depicting in their living ‘wax museum’.

As scientists, we must continue to support diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. Most importantly, broadening participation in science is the right thing to do. In addition, numerous peer-reviewed pubs have shown that diverse teams are more productive and innovative. Diversity has benefits!
