Built a corer, so naturally, we had to test it out 💁🏻‍♀️

Flooding the lab is almost a right of passage at this point

48 Scientific Societies Representing Almost 100,000 Scientists Ask Congress to Protect the Future of Science 48 scientific societies representing almost 100,000 scientists signed on to a letter asking Congress to protect the future of science

IAGLR and dozens of other scientific societies have united on a call to action urging Congress to prioritize the integrity and funding of scientific research. By investing in science, lawmakers can help safeguard our future and foster an informed citizenry. www.ucsusa.org/about/news/s...

I’ve never been nervous to fly before, but I’m seriously contemplating skipping out on going to a conference this year because I cannot drive there 😅😅

Last week me declaring I’d work hard to get my own funding because mine ran out is really laughing at this week me, let me tell you what

Somewhere in the U.S., there’s a scientist staring at their NSF/NIH grant application wondering why they bother. This post is for you. Science and society both need you. Hang in there and know there is a whole community supporting you.

Stop telling me to “make no mistake.” That’s not gonna happen. In fact I’ll be making more of ‘em now, just out of spite.

RP PLS! Iʻm hiring 3 postdocs at U Hawaiʻi to study yeast diversity and evolution, marine fungi, and the genomics of microbiomes in experimental foodwebs. All of these projects have existing datasets and LATITUDE to pursue individual interests and "blue sky" ideas www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/5d7u4...

Global Freshwater Abruptly Declines The amount of freshwater stored on land and underground has plummeted in the past decade, which might indicate that Earth’s continents have entered a persistently drier phase.

Global biogeochemical cycles are interconnected. Alterations to the carbon cycle are akin to inflation with too much money in supply. The same problem is happening with water - freshwater stocks are depleted as more enters the atmosphere, reinforcing climate forcing and driving intense rain events

I was told you should never declare a model as the “best” model.

But nobody ever said I shouldn’t call it America’s Next Top Model.

For context: it’s just a glm 😂

Hi Friends! We have an upcoming webinar on the Neoma, MC-ICP-MS, December 4th. Please sign up here if you're interested! event.on24.com/wcc/r/476016...

I’ve logged back in, so let me promote our latest paper on the pesticides in stormwater ponds that accumulate in biofilms —> turns out those biofilms are bad food for bugs! #ecology #biodiversity www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I saw at some point yesterday that IAGLR did, and I was wondering about SFS. I don’t run the student socials anymore, so I’m not in the loop!

Please share, and help me find a #PhD student to study #ecosystem #engineers and their role in #ecological #restoration

Honestly so excited to get back into talking about science, now that so many more have migrated over 😊

You did so well!

This is amazing! Thanks for all the cool people to follow

So happy to finally get this out there! This was a collaborative, grad student-driven project outside the bounds of our dissertation research, but very much a passion project for each of us. Lots of tangible resources are included - check out Hannah's summary!

Now we can all simultaneously procrastinate and go back through old datasets, even though we don’t have the time 🤣

Evaluating O2 : Ar, N2 : Ar, and 29,30N2 using membrane inlet mass spectrometry configured to minimize oxygen interference Membrane inlet mass spectrometry (MIMS) provides detailed measures of dissolved 28,29,30N2, O2, and argon (Ar) for estimating important gas fluxes and concentrations in aquatic ecosystems. Previous s....

💧If you use a MIMS with a furnace, and you’re sad you lost your oxygen data, you may be in luck! We found that even with a furnace scrubbing >99% of the O2 from a sample, it was still sensitive enough to measure O2!💧

The Department of Biology and Program in Animal Behavior at Indiana University invite applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Physiological Mechanisms of ANIMAL BEHAVIOR at the level of Assistant Professor.

We are looking for a new colleague to join our EEB group at IU.

I’m working on a manuscript (as one does), and I definitely left work last night after stopping in the middle of a sentence. Do I remember what I was going to write? Nope.

As someone with a PhD, who spends much of their working days interacting with people with PhDs, I’m not sure if this is supposed to be a good thing or not

It’s not a real ASLO meeting until we get Roxanne to sing, and I stand by that 💧

Cool
