We study how species adapt (or not) to changing environments, especially climate change. Tweets by Malin Pinsky, Assoc. Professor (he/him/his).

[Ricardo Martinez-Garcia @RicardoMtzG]

I am looking for a PhD student to join our work at @CASUSscience and work on ecological pattern formation. The project is not tied to a specific system, and options range from microbes to vegetation in water-limited ecosystems. Starting date is Feb 2025 and app. deadline Nov 22.

[BWEEMS @Official_BWEEMS]

Applications for regional events are open! Members can apply for up to $2,000 to host events in their region.

Submission deadline is December 1st!

@macdoan Yes!

[Global Change Research Group @pinskylab]

Three (3!) postdoctoral fellowships at the UCSC Center for Coastal Climate Resilience! Applications due Dec. 15. Contact me (or any other faculty here) if you're interested in coming to work in an exciting community and beautiful place.

It's not just #temperature that drives changes in marine species distributions... #oxygen and prey are important as well. Online early and open access in @GlobalChangeBio, led by the very talented @wajrajeew !

I want to take a moment to acknowledge international students:

The constant worry & energy spent working on immigration documents

Being excluded from funding opportunities valued for postdoc & faculty positions

And the emotional toll of being away from family

Uneven genetic data limits biodiversity assessments in PAs globally but not in data-rich areas. Increased efforts to gather, harmonize & share existing population-level nuclear genetic data can inform area-based conservation initiatives. New preprint here: https://t.co/FFI1ONrPDF

[Global Change Research Group @pinskylab]

Genetic diversity is the foundation of biodiversity and now a global conservation priority, and yet there is much work to be done to understand where and in which species it is being lost or conserved!

New paper in preprint led by @ivanpazvinas !

@OSelmoni @MExpositoAlonso Yes, I can see that being tricky. I'll follow up by email. Thanks!

#popgentwitter Has anyone run LFMM with genotype likelihoods? Seems like it should be possible.

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

Fear alone is not enough to motivate climate action; if people are afraid but don't know what to do, they will do nothing. That's why it's essential to communicate both the risks of inaction (the bad news) + the potential of action (the good news) in equal proportions.

New paper about attrition of women in Academia has some interesting results under the hood. Higher rate is driven by non-STEM fields, low prestige unis, and largest for full profs. Attrition lower or equal for STEM women at top unis (B-D). Thoughts on why?

Deadline coming up Nov. 2. This is one of the highest honors at @ESA_org, so please apply!

[Global Change Research Group @pinskylab]

Please nominate your colleagues or mentees for the ESA Mercer Award, and please RT! Underrepresented groups particularly welcome. The Mercer Award is for an outstanding ecological research paper by a younger researcher (<40 years at time of pub).

What will recovering whale populations look like in a changing climate? So happy to see our paper on gray whale population dynamics out today in @ScienceMagazine! We show that gray whales go through major boom and bust cycles in response to dynamic and changing Arctic conditions.
