Did you know? Yellowhammers (Emberiza citrinella) try to stand out from the crowd with their songs. They adjust the rhythm of their song to be as asynchronous as possible from their neighbours. Source: tinyurl.com/d8p6vhmk 📸 HLI-Photography, via Wikimedia Commons (CC0) #Birds #FeatheredFriday

Oysters used as living labs reveal unexpected stability in ocean virus populations
Oysters filter seawater for food. In the process, they concentrate a wide variety of microorganisms from their environment—including bacteria and viruses—into a tiny space.

More tragic news about NIH and NIH science. Grant system is frozen and intramural program is being slashed. All will claw back on treatments and cures for cancer and other human diseases. This can’t be what the public wants. 🧪 www.science.org/content/arti...
NIH ban on renewing senior scientists adds to assaults on its in-house research
Policy follows firings of tenure-track scientists and suspension of training programs

Science makes America GREAT!! A major economic driver with high return on investment in economic and job gains.
A call for the U.S. to continue investing in science: #ASMJournals Editors in Chief discuss the U.S. scientific research enterprise and provide evidence and arguments the ASM community can use to advocate for science. Read the editorial: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...
My editorial simultaneously published in all of @asm.org's journals addresses the ongoing effort by the administration to halt efforts to diversify science. It should be obvious from ASM Journals' efforts over the years, but we aren't fans journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...
A call for healing and unity | mBio
Executive orders signed since 20 January 2025 aim to end programs intended to diversify the scientific workforce via equitable and inclusive practices and processes; cut federal funding for research and innovation; and stifle scientific communications. They represent a stunning reversal of policies that have been the bedrock of the U.S. scientific research enterprise and its leadership in the world, and therefore not surprisingly they have been met with a number of legal challenges. Some of the executive orders have been blocked by temporary restraining orders, and others are pending judicial review.
