Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

I'm hiring a postdoc to work in theoretical / computational phylogenomics! More info at tinyurl.com/63hb5ew8. Please share!

This from @tressiemcphd.bsky.social hit me over the head like a mallet of truth. This is the thing. This is what I’ve been trying to warn people about perfectly crystallized. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/12/o...

These are the most challenging times for early-career scientists and engineers.

My team is doing its bit to help by maintaining and even expanding our database of funding opportunities for early-career researchers.

We found 437 of them.

Popping up early in the season #Wurmbea dioica subsp. alba can be found all around the southwest! This species has a complex variation in dioecy where populations here show both unisex flowers and bisexual flowers, this can be seen in the photos below of 3 variations

Thank you ben ❤️ it has been a blast working with you during my tenure as student rep! #botany2025

My heart is full, my cup overflowing. Wonderful dinner out with my @coloradocollege.bsky.social Jabailylab alumni, from the classes of '19, '20, '22, '25, '26. Our currently ill '28 was greatly missed. I am so proud of these people (a second family!) and grateful to be together at #Botany2025

I'll be presenting my talk "Get Low: Evolutionary Transitions to Non-flying Mammal Pollination in Protea) at 4pm today Tuesday in Mesquite B at #Botany2025!

Come learn about Protea in South Africa and what else changes when they species have different primary pollinators!
