One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them.
Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is.
Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙
We made the #RhodesCollege news page about presenting at #sicb2025!
news.rhodes.edu/stories/rhod...
NIH and other federal health agencies have been instructed to cease external communications indefinitely. This means that grant programs—the money that funds life-saving university and hospital research—are currently in limbo. This includes VA research on veterans’ health.
Stay tuned for news about the next round of the in-situ Jungle Biomechanics Lab! This NSF program brings early-career researchers out to the Amazon Rainforest to learn how to do interdisciplinary research in the field! UGs to postdocs are welcome to apply! bhamla.gatech.edu/project-blog...
If you’re about to graduate with your Bachelors (or are mentoring someone who is!), consider applying to the LAGNiAppE postbacc program at LSU! 💜🔬🐯🧬⚜️🧫💛

Excited to see the first 4 lab posters of the #sicb2025 meeting presented this afternoon! We had dogs, red pandas and meerkats today! Stay tuned for fishes, frogs, and yeast!
Hey! If you’re a student at SICB and aren’t sure where to start with networking, here’s a quick guide I made for a previous conference that might be helpful 🫶🏾
I started gathering a list for REUs/Summer research opportunities for undergraduate students in Ecology/Conservation/Evolutionary Biology. Feel share to share with any undergraduate students who may be interested in participating in *PAID* research.

Are you interested in MS programs in ecology or evolution and want to be paid for it? Check out these fully funded programs (stipend + tuition is provided). It's been a looong time since I updated the list, so as always, check with the program for the latest info. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
A collage of ducks dressed as different characters with a banner that reads: my ducks may not be in a row, but at least they're having fun!
A little end of semester chaos! Bonus points if you can guess who all the ducks in this one are! More duck pun suggestions are welcome for the next round/ to add to this one!
Do you use 3D imaging like CT or MRI for research, teaching, outreach, or art? Check out our new article featuring a detailed workflow for producing 3D cinematic renderings―from tissue-level to whole-organism details―with stunning realism! doi.org/10.1016/j.is... @helsinkiuni.bsky.social
Thank you so much to whoever put this very comprehensive list of #science Bsky starter packs together. This is just amazing: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
A screenshot of a website displaying 8 colored skull models of amphibians and reptiles, along with buttons that will allow the user to navigate to 3D models for each skull.
#Education resource! Over the years I created this collection of colored skull #3Dmodels for teaching. They're available to download on MorphoSource & to view on Sketchfab. Because of recent changes to Sketchfab, I migrated them to my website: www.graysvertebrateanatomy.com/work/colorso... (1/3)
Just to give everyone a reminder: you should never have to get a loan for a graduate program in ecology, evolution, & organismal biology.
