My first first-author paper is out! Here we show that disturbances resulting in rubble fields have implications for shaping planktonic protist communities, in particular they lead to an increase in small, heterotophic protists at these sites

"the secret scientists don't want you to know!!" Dude have you ever met a single scientist? My scientist friends are desperate for me to know about the changing mating habits of Brown marmorated stink bugs. They're screaming at the top of their lungs to tell you EVERYTHING.

More people need to be aware of the concept of "conflicting access needs" bc what makes the space accessible for one could make it inaccessible to another. accessibility is not a checklist to complete. instead it needs to be dynamic & fluid, adjusting to your community needs.

There are STILL TICKETS LEFT if you want to reserve a guaranteed spot for tomorrow's amazing @UCLAPlanetarium tactile astronomy show!

(And even if you don't get a reservation, there should be plenty of space for walk-ups!)

Very important article about making teaching laboratories fully accessible - including, but also going beyond, traditional focus on physical disabilities to incorporate neurodivergence.

I'm engaging in a lot of encounters lately where people see me masked and ask "oh should I grab a mask?" And I know it comes from a good place, but it can be really exhausting. Why? Let's talk about access labor. 1/10

And hit as we aimed it to do,
A thrilling appliance
Of intricate science
And vengeance for dinosaurs too

Feel free to substitute “losing weight” with whatever inane suggestion has been made. Yoga, juice detox, etc.

@AndersenFields There’s also lots of cool ideas for how to recycle your fabric poster (like into a future conference tote bag)

Calling on female mycologists.

Looking for an online mentor to work with an aspiring fungal biologist starting highschool. She is designing a two-year research project on myco-fertilizers, and looking to work with a female mycologist to guide her.
