🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Happy to see our work on the assembly and genome analysis of the southern pine beetle (SPB) Dendroctonus frontalis out in RS Open Science!
So why SPB, and what did we learn? (and bonus surprise at the end..)

Next level tattoo, but you can get one only if you win the Nobel first
Hey folks! I got a tattoo of my beloved PIEZO ion channel on my arm! Now I can show how they activate (flatten) under pressure by flexing—Will add a bit of performance art to my science talks 🧪🧠.
