Very excited by this project, and it'll be the first PhD student I've ever supervised! (Don't let that put you off...)
Please send to anyone interested in doing a PhD in entomology, genetics, genomics or anything agricultural.

Great to see so many scientists suddenly joining Bluesky — a lot of plant researchers if my new followers are anything to go by. Perhaps I’ll start to post occasionally? Realised I’m very bad at social media (very boring, no style) but might be worth sharing the odd paper here and there

An orchid bee (I think Euglossa sp.; Colombia). Some species of these bees are crazy beautiful. Males (like this one) collect aromatic organic compounds (from flower oils, sap, etc.) and mix them into special "perfumes" to make themselves appealing to female bees.

I think doubling the budget is pretty-much the bare minimum at this point. There's no sense running some schemes unless more people can be funded.

For those asking, I've got no updates about when #DECRA #DE24 outcomes will be announced. My reasoning about why we might expect them any time now is👇
(Aside: All outcomes announcements this year were made between 11am and 12noon Canberra time. Such uniformity is unusual.)

#DECRA #DE24:
Outcomes may be as early as mid-to-late Aug, 2–3 weeks before ARC projection (13–26 Sep).
Recent schemes were announced 2–3 weeks "early" including #FT23 yesterday. See records👇
#DE24 NIT-picking was 3 wks after #FT23, so on track for outcomes in ~3 wks.

This is SO real -- if you ever want to talk about organizing freelancers I'm working with the Freelance Solidarity Project (part of the National Writers Union) to change the industry. https://freelancesolidarity.org/ I think you maybe have my email but if not rose dot eveleth at gmail :) also hi!!!
