Wildfire Fighters, Unmasked in Toxic Smoke, Are Getting Sick and Dying

tragic story. read the NYT coverage of risks to firefighters. also striking is the rejection of the risks posed to health --> "“I’m very skeptical,” said Lee Miller, whose Miller Timber Services is among the largest U.S. firefighting companies."

Science has already saved countless lives and will save many more if we let it. Hearing firsthand from patients whose lives have been saved by medical research (tinyurl.com/m65339fh) shows how vital this funding is, even for those lucky enough not to have needed it yet.

wonderful story (from a fellow Pittsburgher)!

Please share broadly: I am looking for a postdoctoral fellow to work on a collaborative project on the temporal population genomics of invasive Capeweed (using contemporary and herbarium genomics), with ‪‪@shaky-dingo.bsky.social‬ and colleagues

@faseborg.bsky.social works hard to ensure a sustained commitment to investment in research. The FY26 budget is up for a full Senate vote, then next to the House. I know we're all tired, but contacting your reps still matters. Nothing happens without funding.

Please help us spread the word! Please amplify!

"...science loses meaning if it comes at the cost of human potential, and mentorship is, at its core, about nurturing that potential."

Wise words from Brandon Gaut, whose essay is worth a read for mentors and mentees alike. We're so glad he is the recipient of our inaugural GSA Mentorship Award.

congratulations Needhi!!

great observations. i've been struggling with Zimmer's article, esp after reading the PNAS paper. i'm also concerned that bad actors are going to run with some of these conclusions as a "see, much research is not reproducible and it's all fraudulent! what a terrible investment".

PA folks - This is Senator McCormick's first term. High stakes: University of Pittsburgh (at ~$685.3M ranked 6th in NIH funding) and Penn (at ~$691.2M ranked 5th in NIH funding) FY24. Plus Carnegie Mellon, Penn State, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, others.

Biologist folk (especially in evolutionary biology and/or ecology, but it don’t matter):

Can you give me your favorite examples of trade offs in biology? Organism or system don’t matter. Primary literature or reviews preferred.

How policy changes are driving top researchers abroad and what that means for the U.S. The U.S. has long been a global leader in science, but that position is at risk. As research funding drops and political pressures rise, scientists, particularly in academia and research institutes, a...

Advocacy is hard these days! @genetics-gsa.bsky.social is publishing stories highlighting the devastating impacts behind recent policies.
