Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important

We just submitted this proposal on Friday. That proposal was months of effort, weeks of writing, and time I could have spent doing other things. That’s time I don’t get back. I’m so devastated by this and how it will impact undergraduate biology education for all who put in proposals.
NSF's Undergraduate Research Coordination Networks in Undergraduate Biology program has been abruptly archived. The deadline was tomorrow. People were submitting proposals.

This program is designed to support the American scientific workforce. I cannot see the point of this level of self-sabotage.

🧵 Excited to share findings from our new paper in PLOS Biology where we explored the impact of language in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology (EEB) and how it can shape inclusivity in the field. Here’s what we found ⬇️
Ecology & evolutionary biology (EEB) has long had issues of inclusivity & representation. @mallorymrice.bsky.social &co show that people from marginalized groups were more likely to be harmed by EEB terminology, with >200 terms perceived by participants as harmful 🧪 @plosbiology.org plos.io/425aTaE

Grateful to be part of this amazing collaboration, and looking forward to what's next!

Terminology in ecology and evolutionary biology disproportionately harms marginalized groups
The discipline of ecology and evolutionary biology has long grappled with issues of inclusivity and representation. This study finds that individuals from marginalized groups were more likely to be ha...
