Look at that adorable deer mouse with the Rocky Mountains in the background. Nice job @jpvelotta.bsky.social and team on nabbing the image! #fieldwins

1/How do maladaptive responses to novel environments influence trait evolution? With field & lab studies, we (@jpvelotta.bsky.social & @mstager.bsky.social) explored this in deer mice along an elevational gradient. And...it's complicated! 😱

NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP)

If you are a grad student in their second year, hoping to apply for a GRFP, the eligibility requirements have changed. You are now ineligible. www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo.... This is an outrage. The government willy-nilly changes the way things are done and it hurts students.

Incomplete genetic compensation and countergradient variation of blood-oxygen transport in deer mice Abstract. Novel environments can induce fitness-reducing responses (i.e., maladaptive plasticity) that should be eliminated by selection via genetic compen

Very cool idea! Could provide insight into the predator escape hypothesis for diadromy.

AOC and Bernie in front of the rally crowd in Denver

Zoomed out crowd shot of 34,000 people in downtown Denver with Colorado mountains in the background

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

AOC: Do you know which coloradans did vote to cut medicare and jack up health care cost? Every single Republican representative from Colorado. Don't you worry, I was just at Gabe Evans' district, and 11,000 of his constituents would like a word

Trump’s Battles With Colleges Could Change American Culture for a Generation Many in higher education worry Trump’s efforts to bend academia to his will could end American leadership in research and science. Universities are not finding many allies to defend them.

NIH Grants Fueled $95 Billion In FY 2024 Economic Activity, Finds New Report National Institutes of Health grants generated almost $95 billion in economic activity nationwide in FY 2024 according to a new report by United for Medical Research.

New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024.

That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved.

Show me a better investment than that.

For the first time in 10 years, a child has died from measles in the United States.

Vaccines prevent measles.

Americans need to hear our top health officials say clearly: every child in America should get vaccinated against this terrible disease.
