Been thinking a lot about lack of hope lately. I found @ayanaeliza.bsky.social quote to be helpful: “never list the problems without the possibilities… instead of focusing on how to be hopeful, I think we can just focus on how to be useful” www.ted.com/pages/3-ways... Keep fighting even without hope

Good news this week. The @MortonArboretum spring blooms are just unbelievable. Among the best years I’ve seen in nine springs here. Don’t miss this amazing show, visit @MortonArboretum

This statement on @colossal website is mostly not true. The species has not been restored, has not been returned to its ecosystem, is not revived. It remains to be seen even how close these 'canids' are to dire wolves. But importantly this is not species restoration. #direwolf

Looks like @NSF is closing the AccelNet program, this is a big loss to collaborative, interdisciplinary and international science. I think this occurred without notice. https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/accelnet-accelerating-research-through-international-network-network...

Just added a weekly new event to my calendar, every Friday, 30 minutes, "Call congresspeople". #democracy #wethepeople On agenda: funding for science & environment, value of institutions supporting peace and education, and investment in renewables.

I thought this was a peppered moth, of evolutionary biology fame, and I got really excited. Like really excited. It’s not that but it is in the same family! Thanks.

Enjoyed catching up on the Nordic conference on genetic resources. Topics include COP16, pre breeding, genetics for pest & disease resistance, ash dieback, DSI and climate change. Recordings are free to all. https://vimeo.com/1039623009 and https://vimeo.com/1039625510 thanks @NordGen
