Well, it's official. After our paper last year (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....), the Slender-billed Curlew is officially declared Extinct today.

Scientists dream of describing new species, not writing their obituary and epitaph, knowing that they are gone forever #ornithology

As an ecologist, this the 11.2 feature that excites me the most!
K’aresh needs help to survive, the barren wastes need new life 🌳

Here is everything you need to know about ecological succession coming August 5!

Your regular reminder that NSF grants built the internet and helped the U.S. dominate tech.

Chuck Schumer can fuck off. What a coward. A useless coward. His "explanation" on Chris Hayes was just circular logic bullshit.

Saw a cybertruck and my son asked why Elon Musk would think that looked good and I said "remember that drug they gave you at the hospital when you broke your arm, and you got scared and said everyone had 4 eyes? he takes that all the time"

Somewhere in the U.S., there’s a scientist staring at their NSF/NIH grant application wondering why they bother. This post is for you. Science and society both need you. Hang in there and know there is a whole community supporting you.

Was waiting for this shoe to drop. Fucking bastards
The National Science Foundation cancelled over 60 grant review panels today, effectively grinding funding of new projects to a halt.

The so-far indefinite pause comes as NSF grapples with the impact Trump's executive orders will have on their grantmaking process.

National Science Foundation freezes grant review in response to Trump executive orders
The National Science Foundation has cancelled all grant review panels this week. It's unclear how long the pause could last.

That's three PhD apps submitted! Two more to go and then I can actually chill out for once.

My people!
Left the other place run by Trump's buddy? Here's a starter pack of freshwater scientists to get you started. Also, if you're a freshwater scientist and want to be added, let me know. Still space available.

Just got done cutting out 1200 words from my GRFP personal statement so I can get it ready for phd apps! Think it's in pretty good shape 🧪🔬🧪🐟

Bob Vylan are good for times like these, but this especially

Surely, your existence is testament
To the successful lineage from which you were arrived
Here, now
You are stronger than you think you are
You are love
You are not alone
You are going through hell, but keep going

Been on here for a bit, but finally getting around to my first post! Just an aquatic ecologist who loves rotifers and all things data. Also a huge music, movie, video game, art nerd 🤓
