Today we celebrate women and girls in science. Regrettably, the „scissor effect“ in science continues, and although the quanity of women at the beginninng of their scientific careers supercede those that get to follow their dream and continue in science.

Just to give everyone a reminder: you should never have to get a loan for a graduate program in ecology, evolution, & organismal biology.

#🧪
It's graduate school application season, so here's your reminder that nobody should pay for a graduate degree in #ecoevo !

Here's a list of fully funded ecology, evolution, & organismal biology Masters' programs (please share!)!

I have been turning a bunch of my own drawings (rendered from SEM images) of diatoms that I post onto Redbubble shop (www.redbubble.com/people/Diato...) as coloring pages. Feel free to use them for your outreach. Here's a marine diatom #Arachnoidiscus.

This one is more like a diatom-inspired zentangle (for more advanced coloring). It's not just for kids!

Interested in #polar #algae and their #predators? In this small paper we describe a novel genus of amoebae preying on #diatoms! Interestingly, the 18S sequence of #arctic and #antarctic isolates is completely identical. Meet Katarium polorum! doi.org/10.1111/jeu.... #protistsonsky
