Can I have a moment of your time to talk about BEESus?!

This is just mental. I can’t imagine aligning strongly with an aspiring autocratic fascist. Let alone at the cost of our natural assets :(

Thank you.

Are we on or off the record right now? 😅

Nesting behaviour drives the evolution of heat tolerance and climate vulnerability in bees! Check out our pre-print on 95 species of Australian native bee across the latitudinal extent of Australia! 🐝 #nativebee #climateadaptation #heattolerance #plasticity #behaviour #bees #climatechange

As usual, the paper was a big collaboration with some great people! @mcorr.bsky.social, Amy-Marie Gilpin, Nikolas Johnston, Damien Esquerre, @achughes.bsky.social, and John Ascher :)

BeeBDC version 1.3.0 is now on CRAN with new functionality to estimate species richness at country/continent/global/ANY level using species occurrence data 🐍🐌🐸 jbdorey.github.io/BeeBDC/artic...
This follows on from our 🐝 pre-print, under review at Nat Comm doi.org/10.21203/rs.... 😍

Thank u Vanessa for this excellent photo of my proposed classification scheme for Coleoptera

Thank yee!! :)

Who are the supervisors? I can’t see that easily and I’m considering forwarding it onto specific people, possibly :)

Everyone should know about GBIF. It's an international biodiversity data aggregator. Museum collections, apps like eBird and iNaturalist, published datasets from the technical literature, all in one place. www.gbif.org

If you have a lost NSF or NIH grant. Colleagues inside government agencies are tracking terminated grants in hopes of assisting organizing efforts and perhaps litigation. The link takes you to the NSF tracker; the NIH tracker is linked from there. Pass this on. 🧪🥼

Oh he rings a bell. A very vague one 😅

translator note: "bugs" isnt always used the same way. riley is using "bugs" = "only insects".
if we want to include other animals often CALLED bugs, like millipedes & spiders, in 1 evolutionary group, we could agree that "bugs" = "all athropods".
thus making shrimps, once again, is bugs

I don’t know what it is. But I love it!

Australia could be taking advantage of the millions of students now too scared to go to university in America.
Instead both Dutton and Albanese are threatening to *massively reduce* intl student numbers.

My friend from the NOAA lab that brings you the Keeling Curve wants that world to know that things are horrible inside NOAA.

Trump comes for CSIRO on scientific research funding The US is demanding Australian government researchers answer a diversity, gender and climate survey to guarantee funding.

Please, tell Trump and his vile agenda to go jump. We will not abide by his heinous, fascist regime and stupid survey. www.theage.com.au/national/sug...

This is absolutely wild!

You wouldn't bee-lieve how good I'm getting at completing side-projects and ignoring my thesis.
