Beyond Science: How OMB’s Proposed Rule on Federal Financial Assistance Threatens Essential Services Nationwide — Stand Up for Science Foundation

OMB’s proposed rule on federal financial assistance poses a sweeping threat to federal grantmaking and the responsible stewardship of American taxpayer dollars. It would dramatically expand execut...

I’m presenting a poster on two (!) chapters of my PhD at #Evol2026 Drop by C-03 tomorrow (6/21) to chat with me about eastern oyster pop gen and genetic strategies of parasite mitigation. 🦪🦠 I’m also on the lookout for a postdoc 👀 and would love to connect with anyone about a potential good fit!

Everyone who pre-orders shrimp city shirt will get a free shrimp temporary tattoo 😘 These shirts are how we’re funding our fall mural series - 3 murals created by Philly women & gender non-conforming artists, about our city’s most charasmatic bugs! We’re almost 20% funded! SquidFacts.net

Welcome to Shrimp City! Teach your friends about a variety of crustaceans with this helpful visual aid - and set the record straight... bugs is shrimp. Shrimp is not bugs These shirts are designed by @the666cat.bsky.social & printed in Philly! Get one at SquidFacts.net (pls RT!)

A cream colored shirt with a red and blue design featuring 9 crustaceans and a fly. A scuba diving Fly Says a”am I shrimp too?” A pistol shrimp wearing a cowboy hat says “bang bang” a mantis shrimp says KO, the title says a”shrimp city and friends” a hermit crab uses a skull As a shell, a jumbo shrimp is labeled himbo shrimp, and a yeti crab is labeled “snack bacteria cafe”. The fly has an asterisk next to Him and underneath the whole design it says *the latest research shows that bugs is actually shrimp”

🚨New preprint! How does #plasticity evolve and when is it adaptive? These questions are key for evolutionary rescue and population persistence Using outdoor-reared #drosophila populations, we tested how prior selection from insecticides and high diversity gene flow affect how plasticity evolves by

There needs to be a giant billboard in every major American city that touts this. In any other era except this suicidal science administration, this would be a miraculous, wondrous thing.

"Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial: Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later."

🚨 Why can’t mammals regenerate limbs like frog tadpoles or salamanders? In our new paper in @science.org , we show that species-specific oxygen sensing acts as a gatekeeper for initiating limb regeneration 🐭🐸 🔗 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #EvoDevo

Species-specific oxygen sensing governs the initiation of vertebrate limb regeneration

Why mammals cannot regenerate limbs like amphibians do presents a long-standing puzzle in biology. To uncover the underlying differences, we compared amputation responses of embryonic mouse (Mus musculus) and Xenopus laevis tadpole limbs. Lowering ...

How does development shape the variation evolution can act on? In our new paper in @pnas.org , we bridge developmental dynamics and quantitative genetics, linking dynamical models of phenotype formation with the statistical parameters used to study evolutionary change www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Bridging developmental and statistical approaches to variation and evolution | PNAS

Phenotypic variation is the raw material for evolutionary diversification and adaptation. However, a critical gap remains in evolutionary theory be...
