Come and work with us (the Kokkonuts) as a postdoc! Our research within (theory-evo-eco) is broad; let's say it's implicitly defined by the journal club papers we read. Which is why the application process includes a JC-related task, I hope it'll be a fun one for you! www.evoldir.net/brian/evoldi...

I know it’s hard to watch all these beautiful things be carried away by time and see the wrong things growing in their place. But listen. Listen. We have to be the beautiful things now. It has to be us. It has to be us. Courage.

not sure how to express this without sounding like a chair-turned-around youth pastor, but there's something so radical about having your most well-known lyric be "i will always love you" and then sincerely embodying it whenever possible

Donate to the Imagination Library, support your local public library, support the libraries in your schools. Dolly would be proud of us. #DollyParton

This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.

Reminder: Dolly Parton helped fund the Moderna vaccine for COVID.

Dolly Parton, who helped fund the Moderna vaccine, gets a ‘dose of her own medicine.’ (Published 2021)

The country music star broke into song before she was inoculated, and urged her fans to “get out there and get your shot.”

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com

My heart - broken. Such a lovely person, such a great loss for us all.

Save the date! The next SMTPB conference will take place May 3-6, 2027, at Stanford University. Make sure you're on the mailing list to stay in the loop for updates - reach out to info@smtpb.org.

I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell and Rep. Tom Kean (missed 4 months of work) are/were essentially on paid sick & medical leave. The same employment protection they’ve spent their careers blocking other Americans from having.

Hey, fellas, before you write that white hot take about how rape is such a tricky thing and, I mean, who can really say what happened and, you know, maybe we should not be too judgmental, I'd like to remind you that instead you can simply shut the fuck up.

I want our next Dem president to bring back the WPA and just build infrastructure all across this country again. Build green energy, trains, housing, etc. We can have nice things (and nice bathrooms), but we have to invest in ourselves!

Man, nobody could build a shithouse like the WPA.

Just when you think you can’t be more horrified . . .

NEW: Andrea Shaw emerged as a plaintiff for Sec. Kennedy's former nonprofit, claiming that vaccines caused her twin toddlers' deaths. Last week she was indicted for murder, accused of suffocating them. More details here: 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/07/07/u...

It's interesting how everything people used to proudly call "public" when I was growing up (public parks, public libraries, public schools, public transportation, public television, etc) is suddenly "socialist" now that rich people are spinning it.

if you're trans, you have to live. one day you can live to see these guys all die.

Pls share: U of Washington has an opening for a tenure-track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor. This position is expected to specialize in molecular virology or bacteriology. Here is a link: microbiology.washington.edu/index.php/ne...

So excited to announce our search for 4 postdocs (funded by the Simons Foundation) who will use genomics to "test how ecological interactions, natural selection, natural enemies, hybridization & environmental gradients shape...tropical tree communities" in Panama: stri.si.edu/story/bci-ev... ...1

tech capture of the NSF: “it allows NSF to make awards to nontraditional recipients such as a limited partnership or a venture capital firm, some of which might have been created solely for the purpose of receiving the NSF award.”

Jeffrey Mervis@policyhound.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Been wondering why NSF isn't spending most of its FY26 appropriation? A $1.5B tech initiative may be the reason. And big cuts to hundreds of research programs could be just the beginning of the bad news. www.science.org/content/arti...

"..it allows NSF to make awards to nontraditional recipients such as a limited partnership or a venture capital firm, some of which might have been created solely for the purpose of receiving the NSF award. It also allows NSF to make additional awards without the need to review a new application."

"Program managers would normally rush to inform potential and current grantees about such dramatic changes. But the memo tells program managers to keep their mouths shut. 'This information is highly confidential...Please do not communicate anything to PIs.'” www.science.org/content/arti...
