Happy to announce that I will be opening my lab in the PMB department at UC Berkeley this July. Our lab will study nectary development and evolution using non-conventional models. We are actively recruiting. Join us if you are also enthusiastic about development or evolution!

Harvard has just under 6,800 foreign students enrolled. Every one of them would have to give up their dreams of an education in the US or transfer elsewhere, if Noem's attack on Harvard is upheld.

None of them have done anything wrong, they're just collateral damage to Trump.

I'm a current Harvard graduate student and I found out today that I had my NSF GRFP terminated without notification. I was awarded this individual research fellowship before even choosing Harvard as my graduate school

Shout out to the home of my monthly column, @newscientist.com, which nailed their headline about the genetically modified GREY wolves

No, the dire wolf has not been brought back from extinction
Colossal Biosciences claims three pups born recently are dire wolves, but they are actually grey wolves with genetic edits intended to make them resemble the lost species

Being an REU intern years ago gave me so much more confidence going into my PhD and frankly changed my life financially as a student supporting myself through college. The current state of science is a joke www.science.org/content/arti...
NSF downsizes summer research program for undergraduates
Many participants are from groups underrepresented in science
