Such a cool ecological study to explore in our undergraduate ecology course! After doing this activity for 2 years, I’m fascinated by how many more students each semester are drawing relationships with pictures rather than the type of organism. Future science illustrators in our midst?🧐

🚨Big win for #openscience & sci ed!🚨
JEI just launched eiRxiv, the 1st #preprint server for HS researchers. My research shows ECRs feel less confident reviewing work from senior scientists - even anonymously.
#eiRxiv offers a more approachable way to build peer review skills.

Fellow academics, what’s your fav fangirl moment? Mine happened 2 days ago when I was sitting on an @asapbio.bsky.social community call with @richardsever.bsky.social, learning about the launch of @openrxiv.bsky.social. This is one of those moments I tell my grandkids about, right?

Thrilled to share that I’ll be giving a short talk at #SABER2025! I’ll be presenting findings from ‘IDEAS in the Field,’ a graduate seminar designed to prepare students to lead safe and inclusive field experiences in #ecology. See you in Minneapolis, @sabercommunity.bsky.social!

Funded by #PrideinSTEM, the BES and BES Networks are delighted to launch a series of webinars on developing collaborative solutions to the intersectional barriers faced by minorities in ecology.

Just left a workshop on managing classroom conflict, and here are 4 key takeaways:
1️⃣ Be prepared
2️⃣ Breathe before you act
3️⃣ Seek to mitigate harm
4️⃣ Connect to course objectives

What are your go-to strategies for handling tough moments in class? Let’s swap notes!

I emailed university faculty/staff/administrators a roadmap to support DEI through legal challenges, collective resistance, and institutional protections for faculty. The question isn’t whether institutions will comply—it’s who will fight back, and how! greencarelab.ucdavis.edu/how-universi...
