At ~$1 billion/day, the US has spent as much on the war in Iran in ten days as the entire FY25 budget for the National Science Foundation ($10 billion).
Trump's FY26 budget request for the agency declined to $3.9 billion, due to a "realignment of resources in a constrained fiscal environment."

🌿 Postdoc opportunity in plant evolutionary ecology/genetics!
My lab in the Dept. of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to start Fall 2026.
We study plant adaptation, using weeds as model systems.

Fluorescence microscopy image of a spherical cluster of chloroplasts, showing magenta-stained interiors surrounded by bright green outlines against a black background.
Moss (Physcomitrium patens) protoplasts (wallless cells) transformed with chloroplast envelope protein tagged with mGFP (green). The chlorophyll autofluorescence is in magenta.
The protrusions of the chloroplast envelope are called stromules.

I love the LL Bean canvas tote bags. They are pricy for a grocery bag but they last forever, lots of options, and are what we grab for first on most trips

The global oil market is integrated. Changes to supply or demand in one place cause price effects that ripple around the 🌎.
But did you know this is true for non-branded bulk food products like grains & vegetable oils?
Below are export prices of maize (corn) from the US, the EU, & the Black Sea.
Leipzig U and the MPI for Evolutionary Anthropology (MPI-EVA) have an open faculty position (W2) in evolutionary population genetics! This position is tenured and comes with generous core funding. We are eager to welcome a new colleague! Deadline March 11.

Cool work on Marchantia development
An old friend who had been a student took me when I first arrived on campus, bc for some it’s kind of a thing, but the food was meh and I never went back. Plus, the whole cult issue
If I started a religion it would be centered on great food, seems kinda fundamental
They seemed to have a deal to sell on campus that was not open to other food trucks, for eg, and the food honestly was not great. Not sure how the stuck around this long
We are offering a fully funded two-year postdoctoral position focused on sex chromosome evolution and speciation in the *Jaera albifrons* species complex. Please find the advertisement attached. We welcome applications from interested candidates. Join us :-)
Researchers in the US might be having feelings about writing grants atm-I know I am!
We still need to write them. In this Evolution Exchange, I again chat with Sam Scheiner, who summarizes how to write a competitive proposal.
His advice is gold, and helpful regardless of funder. Pls RT!

My department at CSU Northridge is hiring a vertebrate functional morphologist! We've got a great EEB group, and we're looking for someone to carry forward a tradition of enriching organismal courses and community-engaged research. App review starts March 15

Beautiful work on moss morphology and development
