Last lab presentation today! Grace Zhang will be talking about her chapter 2 work examining the context dependency of tolerance in common morning glory. Put it on your list, Grace always gives a great talk!

New paper from Sasha Bishop’s PhD in the lab - we combine quan gen with resurrection ecology to examine plant evolution in light of global change.
The take-home is that constraints among floral traits have ⬆️ in strength leading to a decline in the rate of adaptation by 96% over a 9-yr time span.

Saw a bunch of these on my hike yesterday. I had to use Google Lens to figure out what it was. Pink Lady Slipper. #Wildflowers back home are never this interesting. #nature #bloomscrolling #flowerpower

The Merlin Bird ID app wouldn’t exist #WithoutNSF. 🪶
I've been taking early walks in the park to watch and listen to birds for my sanity, and the Merlin Bird ID app has been indispensable for identifying bird songs.
Merlin was funded by a grant from the NSF, the science funding agency that Trump is trying to destroy.

Google wouldn’t exist #WithoutNSF. Page and Brin started Google based on NSF-funded research they did at Stanford, which has made Stanford, Google, and lots of other people a lot of money. It’s made the rest of us stupid but that’s another topic.

🧪 Data update on NSF grant terminations
Including last Friday's terminations, STEM education grants now account for...
54% of terminated NSF grants (751 of 1381)
75% of terminated NSF funding ($590M of $783M)
The next generation of scientists is being targeted.

Thread with an email being sent to @asn-amnat.bsky.social @sse-evolution.bsky.social @systbiol.bsky.social members today calling for a Tri-society week of action for NSF:
Dear members:
The tri-societies (ASN, SSE,SSB) are running a ‘Week of Action for NSF’. Your engagement is crucial.
