Sedation is an essential tool for rhino 🦏 conservation, but how can stress be minimised for the animals?

In this #ConPhysinAction article, Jennifer Cocciardi explains how drugs can be combined for safe & effective immobilisation, as reported by Boesch et al.

Really excited to see our perspective on how urbanization affects species interactions out in Nature Cities, hoping to inspire more research on this topic. Hard team work led by former postdoc Pablo Moreno-García. Feel free to discuss! rdcu.be/eyjBj www.nature.com/articles/s44...

This was such a fun opportunity to write a Conservation Physiology in Action article for @conphysjournal.bsky.social ! Give it a read if you're interested in rhino conservation!

SSE, SSB, and ASN logos. Text: Tri-societies Week of Action for NSF. Science under siege: Over 1000 NSF grants have been terminated by political appointees- threatening the foundation of American innovation and education, and more cuts loom; entire research programs are being erased without explanation. What’s at stake? STEM education for K-12 students, jobs and infrastructure in rural communities, support for veterans in research and education, cybersecurity and national defense innovation, global leadership in science and technology. Join the week of action: Contact Congress: Switchboard: (202) 224-3121, tell them to protect NSF. Share your story: Post on social media #WithoutNSF #SupportNSF #SaveNSF, engage local media; use our media tool to reach out to local reporters and newspapers; engage others: communicate the importance of NSF to colleagues, friends, and family.

New paper in @nature.com led by @patricepottier.bsky.social! We demonstrated global vulnerability of amphibians to warming, threatening 10% of >5,000 species examined. How did we do it? See thread🧵

NEW: NSF confirmed that they fired 168 employees today, out of their staff of ~1,500 feds.

This includes some people who'd finished their 1-year probationary periods, which were extended to 2-years last month without explanation. More to come.

Sex is not binary, but expressed across a continuum. That's the biological truth.

I usually reserve this account for my personal views; but today I want to represent my position as President of @asn-amnat.bsky.social to post a message that will shortly go out to the membership of the American Society of Naturalists from the ASN Executive Council

The western monarch butterfly population is near record lows; fewer than 10k individual butterflies counted this year.

graph from 1997 to 2024 showing "total number of monarchs reported" on the x axis, with numbers normally around 150,000-250,000, with 2024 barely registering.

Despite rescinding the original memo, the NSF continues to comply with the federal funding freeze and have not communicated with us on timeline... leaving many PRFBs without pay. Also, it seems that many Universities are unaware this is happening... spread the word
jennycocciardi.bsky.social
From a current PRFB fellow, nope. And no communication from NSF either (granted, we think PO’s are under a communication freeze and no one is blaming them!).

I'm very sad that "I have a paper on this" continues

Funding delays of > 30 days lead to, after 5 years:

- 40% increase in scientists exiting US labor force (constrained among those born in the US)
- 20% decrease in wages
- Burden is born by postdocs, grad students, and staff

It’s official: all funding requests made on Tuesday by postdocs for their salaries have been unilaterally rejected by NSF.

The ACM$ is still down, and postdocs continue to receive cancelation notices for requests for funding.

NSF has seemingly pushed through with their freeze on fund disbursement, even in spite of the court’s challenge and subsequent “unfreeze” announced yesterday.

To update people on the NSF PRFB situation: despite the court challenge and rescinding the original memo, the NSF has continued to comply with the executive order. They have not communicated with us at all and our paychecks are still canceled indefinitely. I know people who cannot pay their rent.
