Last week we took part in the seminar “Doing Research Differently”, a great opportunity to present the INTP and to discuss research at the margins and possible alternatives to the traditional academic system.
🙏 Many thanks to Ananké and the organizers for this meaningful and much-needed initiative 🧪

A quick reminder that the deadline for this exciting postdoc fellowship is due soon. Come work with us! Support for work in biodiversity, ecology, and conservation with applied connections. Contact me or other Lovejoy faculty if you are interested 🧪🌐🌾

US science after a year of Trump: what has been lost and what remains A series of graphics reveals how the Trump administration has sought historic cuts to science and the research workforce.

La revue @nature.com dresse le bilan d'un an de politique anti-science depuis le retour de Trump au pouvoir. La série de graphiques animés est éloquente : elle offre un aperçu saisissant de l'ampleur du saccage entrepris, et des tentatives pour y résister www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

Deadline extended! 🎉
