Me in the Amazon Basin in 2001, when I started grad school with the support of an @NSERC_CRSNG scholarship. It paid $17,300, and was barely enough then. The same award pays $17,500 today. Just $200 more in 22 years. #SupportOurScience

@SMWadgymar Are you letting the soil dry out for certain periods in the watering schedule? Waterspots caused by overwatering perhaps??

[Lior Pachter @lpachter]

One of my students was denied the @NSF GRF this year by virtue of being deemed ineligible because they took a one-week bootcamp prior to starting grad school and it showed up as a summer "class" on their transcript. Seems this could affect many applicants. Be aware! #NSFGRFP

I'm deeply saddened by Dick's passing-- I got the news in stunned silence.

Dick loved evolutionary biology, population genetics, mathematics, and theory. He was an exceptionally clear thinker and writer about knotty concepts.

He was fun and funny. Thoughtful, kind, generous.

[Jonathan Chase @Jon_Chase03]

Amazing opportunity here to get involved in some of the coolest ecology going today with superb mentors and a phenomenal team of scientists from across the world!

[Anna Simonsen @SimonsenLab]

@SMWadgymar Also, maybe once funding agencies like NSF, NIH, DOI etc gather courage and tell journals directly $ they are willing to pay for single pub. Im tired of PI consumers being put in the middle to "sort out the market". PIs switching to other journals will not force Nature to change.

[Anna Simonsen @SimonsenLab]

Whoa, I stand corrected! Second half gut wrencher!

[Anna Simonsen @SimonsenLab]

Honestly, pretty boring final so far
