Trump blocks NIH review. I’m on a study section to review cancer grants but received this email today:

NIH has paused all communication, as directed by the new administration (e.g. https://t.co/KD9vnuN3ac ), and that apparently includes a pause for all study section meetings

Marine heatwaves jeopardize cryptic diversity on coral reefs. Proud of this work, led by @SamStarko w fab collaborators @ClaarDanielle @jrcunning @coralprof @DaviesswPhD @TreeOfFife, out now in @ScienceAdvances 10.1126/sciadv.adf0954 and @ConversationCA https://t.co/RrIDfxSBkA

[Samuel Starko @SamStarko]

Excited to see our hot-off-the-press paper published in @ScienceAdvances!! We studied the hidden impacts of an unprecedented marine heatwave on Porites lobata, an incredibly common coral species usually considered to be “stress tolerant”

There are only a few places on earth where thousand year old trees still stand. The west coast of Canada is one of them but every day they are logged.

Time to stop the logging: https://t.co/5lrUNnvtHK #ProtecttheIrreplaceable

Enceladus (and its marvelous plumes) only appeared for a few seconds at the beginning of #StarTrekDiscovery Season 2, but that doesn't mean we can't produce a full-length @scienceoftrek episode about this icy moon, starring @fifebeyondearth! ➡️ https://t.co/u5dj9X8Z6b

@heatshok @ntherk @evolvingseas Did you try with GADMA2? It took a looong time but thats the only way I’ve been able to get 3d to converge

@heatshok @ntherk @evolvingseas oh I see looks like 3 is the max though

[James Fifer @TreeOfFife]

@heatshok @ntherk @evolvingseas @ntherk any plans for extending to >2d SFS? :)

@TheManTheGuyTh1 @LatenWayer @unusual_whales That was debunked my friend https://t.co/RD4m1waM4s

[Carly Kenkel @DrCarlsHorn]

Getting emails from amazing prospective students when I can't say yes just kills me - I want to give them more than a kind decline - if you're a #PI recruiting students for Fall 2023 add your info to this list and share so we can give them other options! https://t.co/msO7T4Qi9s
