I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost

I'd love to hear about the theoretical background here- I'll be looking through your prior work. I run two very large science-adjacent communities and at first blush this sounds like what we do.

Social control drove ant evolution
Fantastic piece (doi.org/10.1073/pnas...) by @tlinksvayer.bsky.social on @arthurmatte.bsky.social and my recent paper in PNAS (doi.org/10.1073/pnas...). He really pulls together the threads of how we believe that socially transferred materials #socialfluids entrenched social complexity in ants. 1/2

We don't know much about these odd-looking Zasphinctus ants, except they seem to raid other ant nests, steal their larvae and eat them... Their narrow elongated bodies probably help them enter small galleries.

Finally taking the time to learn Fusion360. Design for a co2 hose that will make noise (so people don't forget to turn it off) but diffuses the flow to knock out ants.

Today, the USDA lost experts in Psylloidea, Thysanoptera, Cerambycidae, Hymenoptera, Pseudococcidae, and Malacology. This is a devastating loss of expertise, occuring without warning. Their union's official statement on the issue can be found here: aginspectors.org/2-14-2025-a-... #entomology π§ͺ

Well, it is sufficiently costly for scientists to be wrong. It is not sufficiently costly for news orgs to spread lies. The voters eat the cost of those lies; temporal discounting alone makes it hard for any reasonable string of accountability, Γ la an iterative prisoners dillema.

I agree with this article. It is time for scientists to build trust - we only do it by bringing everyone in and teaching the scientific method. We only beat misinformation and authoritarianism with the freedom that science brings. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
