Cornell is increasing grad stipends to $43k for next year, requiring summer funding to be provided for all PhD students, cutting grad tuition costs for private Cornell colleges cause they are currently higher than the public ones

Did you know?
Some forams inhabit “stinky” sulfidic environments with little to no oxygen; many respire nitrate instead of oxygen.

Super excited to announce that I am leaving academia to pursue a position that is essentially climate change consulting. I very much enjoyed the community that I built @ucdavis and as a @UCAR_CPAESS postdoc - but opportunity knocks! later sk8r
