Embattled US scientific society names palaeontologist to top job Neil Shubin, a University of Chicago researcher known for co-discovering a β€²missing link’ fossil fish, will lead the National Academy of Sciences if ratified by members.

When Marcia McNutt's term ends next year, @neilshubin.bsky.social will take the reins at NAS to lead the organization through what may continue to be a fraught landscape for government-funded science.

amazing talk by SSB prez Corrie @corriemoreau.bsky.social this morning!

it was her videos on the Brain Scoop with @ehmee.bsky.social 10yrs ago that first introduced me to the field of evolutionary biology, so I don't know if I'd be here without her! such inspiring work! 🐜

If this is your first meeting, members forums are a great easy to get a feel for what your professional society is up to, and to give your opinion on what your society ought to be doing.

SSB is YOUR society. Tell us how we should work for you! #evol2025
