@Goodflies I have been married to my former postdoc for 35 years.

@Big_Biology @scottpegan Bob was an interesting guy. His concept of “escape space” as a resource exploited by prey was/is under-appreciated.

[Jack C. Schultz @jackcschultz]

@scottpegan @RiceUniversity Yes but Outdoor cats kill an estimated 2.4 billion birds each year in the United States alone

[Jack C. Schultz @jackcschultz]

@fake_journals @insidehighered This happens because the people making advancement decisions know little or nothing about the subject matter of candidates, so they count instead. And what exactly does the OP mean by evaluate “correctly”?

[Jack C. Schultz @jackcschultz]

@Martinplantecol @CurrentBiology @Matthias__Erb Nice summary and review! 👏

[Jack C. Schultz @jackcschultz]

@Martin_A_Nunez @ScottESolomon @RiceUniversity Now read this one.

@scottpegan @DenningDesign @RSocPublishing @royalsociety Cuckoos slough the lining of their guts frequently to get rid of caterpillar hairs, e.g., so they can eat Gypsy moth larvae. In fact cuckoo populations track outbreaks of gm and forest tent caterpillars.

@Cat5SMASHICANE No, the white sturgeon’s the largest

From today's NYT: "The White House has begun drafting a new executive order... The order aims to create a new external committee with the power to veto awards🤬

[Jack C. Schultz @jackcschultz]

This has the potential to advance study of #galls, since there are few on the ‘model’ plant species

[TrendsPlantSci @TrendsPlantSci]

Have we entered a ‘post-model’ era in plant biology? https://t.co/l03zgr8VVJ #plantscience

@mossjoonie This is WRONG WRONG WRONG! 😠

@NSF Ideal for corruption

[Jack C. Schultz @jackcschultz]

@Martin_A_Nunez Failure to limit the discussion/conclusions to what was actually found is a HUGE problem in today’s papers.

[Martin Heil @Martinplantecol]

This bald cypress tree had more galls per branch than any tree I've ever seen. Galled by Cypress twig gall midge, Taxodiomyia cupressiananassa

[Jack C. Schultz @jackcschultz]

@Bisontwting Totally predictable

@ScottESolomon @scottpegan @XochiHou Xochi is my fave, with escamoles, “Mexican caviar”, ant larvae and pupae
