Are you a recent PhD (or soon to be PhD) from outside Canada looking to do a postdoc in Quebec?

Get in touch if you are excited about microbes, evolution, ecology, genomics (or all of the above!) and I'd be happy to help develop a project together!

"We are speaking on behalf of hundreds of NIH staff who are standing up together to say: WE DISSENT.

I am so scared about doing this but I am trying to be brave for my kids because it's only gonna get harder to speak up."

Thank you to Dr. Jenna Norton and NIH scientists for your courage!

Anthropogenic climate change will likely outpace coral range expansion Coral reef range expansion takes centuries, and higher-latitude seas are therefore ineffective refugia for most tropical corals.

Very smart, high ROI initiative from the Spencer Foundation.

Providing bridge funding for canceled NSF grants:

1) directs funds to projects already screened by a top-noch review process.
2) avoids imposing proposal prep costs on researchers.
3) ameliorates the disruption from GOP sabotage.

Why throwing all potential predictors into your model and letting it decide has, and always will, be bad for inference.

7 boxes explaining Binning Singletons. 1: Binning singletons is a mentoring and networking program for attendees seeking community in a large meeting 2: Participants self-identify as singletons (often solo and 1st time attendees) 3: We group Singletons into bins based on common interests 4: Each bin has a mentor 5: The mentor is a meeting coach and helps with logistics and networking 6: We bring the different bins together to grow the community 7: We support singletons by promoting their presentations, hosting meet-ups, attending vendor events, organizing social activities, and providing assistance throughout the meeting

We're gearing up for #ASMicrobe in LA! We help 1st-time and solo attendees have better experiences through networking and mentoring. Here’s a writeup on how it works
