I don't have any suggestions, but I'm excited to see what you come up with - please keep us posted!

New from Drs. Isabelle Neylanm & Ana Salgado, @rujutavaidya.bsky.social, & rockstar @lsuscience.bsky.social undergraduate Cullen Guillory:

We're excited to kick off another year of LAGNiAppE! 🎉
Welcome to our new cohort — we can't wait to see how they grow as researchers and individuals.

Stay tuned as their journey unfolds!

Highly recommend meeting Finn, who is here with his person @ecarlen.bsky.social and is a very good boy.

The recording of my IDEA talk is up on the #Evol2025 YouTube channel, and I've thrown that together with a PDF copy of the slide deck and a bibliography: lab.jbyoder.org/2025/06/21/a...

From @rujutavaidya.bsky.social some categories of genes respond to heat stress through differential expression while others respond through differential exon usage. Only a small fraction do both. We miss an important part of the story when we focus only on DEGs! #Evo2025 #Evo25

On our way to #Evol2025!

How many paths lead to evolutionary innovation? How versatile are genomic toolkits? Excited to announce my new @pnas.org paper addressing these questions in collaboration with @rokaslab.bsky.social, @hittingerlab.bsky.social, and the Pennell lab!

Pause for a minute to appreciate the valiant Program Officers still at NSF, who are doing their utmost to preserve what they can. They’re in the stinking rotting belly of the beast, laboring on our behalf.

❤️❤️❤️❤️ to them

NEW: We (mostly @noamross.net) launched a website to shine a brighter light on terminated NIH and NSF grants.

grant-watch.us

It links to our NIH & NSF trackers, grant info submission forms, and other info. We'll also add new analyses soon.

Check it out and let us know what else you'd like to see.

🧵 Thread on NSF grant terminations 🧪

This Nature article today confirms what DOGE's arrival at NSF can mean: terminating already awarded grants.

"DOGE is...considering more than 200 of them for termination, NSF staff members have told Nature"

What can we expect? And what should NSF grantees do?

“Exploring Careers in Ecology” webinar tomorrow!

Join me, Rese Cloyd, and host Aaron Stoler, to duscuss finding jobs, navigating new careers, and defining success as a professional ecologist.

Webinar is part of a series by @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social.

Live view of my students today, as I took them from salmon and white throated sparrows (gender and the expression of sex-associated traits are not binary!) to the Jan20 White House order on gender, to the closing of the Institute for Sexual Research in Nazi Germany.

Love this! @standupforscience.bsky.social Austin is making posters and taking our message to the TX Capitol tomorrow!

In Nature Climate Change @natclimchange.bsky.social, we show that Extreme Weather Events (EWEs) have strong but different effects on plant and insect phenology, as individuals respond to immediate environmental cues such as EWES, likely more rapidly so than to gradual climate change. rdcu.be/eaLMu

If you've been calling Congress, keep calling & if not, start-we're getting their attention. We had a good visit to a Congressional office yesterday to discuss science funding & the staffer told us how busy they've been-usually the Senate shwitchboard gets 64 calls/minute-now they're getting 1600 🧪

Please help spread the word. Open tech position. My lab at Loyola University Chicago.

The reply email inbox for this “what did you do last week” email is [email protected], so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

I know somebody will tell me this can’t work but what about $0 registration for our agency colleagues who want to attend @evolmtg.bsky.social or other conferences so they can talk about their work? Network for jobs?

Just saw an email sent to a student of mine from a REU canceling their program due to staffing & federal research funding uncertainties.

A REU was when I internalized my science ID & applying to grad school.

If this continues, it will devastate my students #1 pathway to STEM careers.

Firings are happening right now at the National Science Foundation. Essential staff are being cut.

This isn’t about the budget. If it was, they’d be going after the military (17%) or state appropriations (38%). NSF is 0.7% of the federal budget. All federal employees make up only 4% of the budget.
