Excited to finally have the pre-print up for this work on evolutionary rescue from my PhD at UBC!

Previous theoretical work on the effects of negative density-dependent growth on evolutionary rescue has uncovered inconsistent results, leading to an incomplete understanding of its influence.

Horrifying.

Dear #Botany2025 speakers - please DO use the microphone (stand by the podium so it can pick you up) so that those of us who have hearing issues/are hard of hearing/are d/Deaf can hear your excellent science! Thanks!

Props to the meeting organizers for setting up subtitles in Powerpoint, yayyyyyy

🧪 BREAKING (good news): Senate subcommittee says NO! to Trump's proposed slashes to NASA & NSF funding.

Today, the subcommittee said to keep NASA + NSF funding at $33.9 billion, the same as in FY24.

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

Trump is creating a secret police that will be better funded than the Marines.

I wonder what he will do with it.
