If you're interested in the crossing points between crip theory, anti-eugenics, environment, global health and global ethics, check out @octoqueenphd.bsky.social 's new podcast #UnwellToBeginWith. It was a blast to be the first guest, & a fantastic episode with @stressedbranch.bsky.social is now up

Thank you @octoqueenphd.bsky.social for the opportunity to ramble about #evolution, #plants, #Disability

I hadn't realized HOW much plants have impacted my day-to-day and shaped my view of the world.

Take a listen and keep your eyes out for more "Unwell to Begin With" - a FANTASTIC podcast name.

I am delighted to announce that the UW Department of Biochemistry has opened searches for TWO tenure-track positions.

Descriptions and links in the following two posts.

Sadly... the trend might be over? 👀 😉

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

Our EEB department at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is hiring an assistant professor in evo-devo. See go.illinois.edu/EEBAsstProf for details. Please share!

If you’re at ESA @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social 2025 in Baltimore, come check out my talk about population dynamics and the geographic range limits of a coastal dune plant! Tomorrow (Wednesday) at 8:45am in Hilton 5!

Big news! We are recruiting a postdoc to work on tomatillo evolution: jobs.colorado.edu/jobs/JobDeta.... The clade containing tomatillos and its allies (ca 300 spp) has evolved lantern fruits at least 25 times - we want to know why! Join us @rociodeanna.bsky.social & @caschenck-bio.bsky.social

A white person with dark hair pulled back and round glasses stands at a podium in front of a conclusion slide of a presentation. The main points highlight “directional selection favored novel negative plasticity, canalization may be disadvantageous, and experimental approach reveals hidden adaptive potential”

@jillmlove.bsky.social gave an awesome talk about plasticity in leaf lobing in #Mimulus

A slide for Where do we go from here? Including talk about axiological assumptions, provide context for who the founders were, increase field site transparency, and advocate for inclusion. Haley is presenting sitting to the side.

Haley Branch @stressedbranch.bsky.social gave a foundational historic overview of how disability affects our science today and her work on @uslter.bsky.social facility accessibility.

A white woman with red hair tied half up, half down stands at a podium. The slides heading slide to the side reads “what processes affect creation and maintenance of species diversity in these complicated groups?”

Last is Caroline Brose sharing research on willow and experiences as a disabled field researcher

A white person with short dark blond hair and a hat is in a wheelchair at a podium. A presentation titled slide is titled “defying expectations: resolving the forest fragmentation paradox… while navigating physical disabilities”

@botanic-ash.bsky.social up next telling us about oak trees and their experiences as a disabled person conducting fieldwork!

A person with long wavy dark brown hair and tanned skin stands at a podium in front of a presentation titled “Locke’s demonstration garden as vehicle for cultural connection in transnational communities on the Sacramento Delta”

Mayra Concepcion shares their story with us

A white person in a wheelchair is speaking at a podium in front of slides. The slides heading states “Fatigue and burnout with disability in academia & life in general”

@plantpollinator.bsky.social sheds light on many of the issues related to having disabilities in academia, but in navigating social settings in general

Dark short haired person stands at the front of a presentation. A slide showcases the four main questions of their talk (which I actually can’t read clearly)

Up first is @brythebotanist.bsky.social
