It's as official as it can be: The Yoder Lab has been very fortunate to receive NSF funding, in a project that will develop our TARDIS method of modeling plants' flowering activity in varying environments. Keep an eye out for grad (Master's) opportunities in Fall 2027, and a postdoc position hiring as soon as I manage the paperwork

The Great Lakes Are Hiding a Secret Underworld of Tardigrades and Rock-Eating Fungi
Scientists have discovered an almost entirely hidden world of living organisms hundreds of feet below Earth's surface.

Whilst retagging 600 books in my library application, I noticed basically all recent Science Fiction I read is in some way dystopian. Does anyone have recommendations for not-dystopian science fiction?

Those busy (and very not-picky!) squirrels! Archivists of nature!
"Who would have imagined that ground squirrel droppings preserved in Yukon permafrost could provide such detailed insights into ecosystems and evolutionary history stretching back hundreds of thousands of years? It is both scientifically important and genuinely fascinating."

In case useful for teachers starting the semester, my blog has gratuitous advice on lab notebooks, conference posters, oral presentations, lab write-ups, and plagiarism. Pitched for undergraduates but hopefully useful for all ages. #conferences #posters #academics #teaching #college #plagiarism #education #teachers #blog #school #biology #science #undergraduate https://colinpurrington.com/

Judith Curry is possibly the most confusing and infuriating scientist in the entire climatological arena. She contributed to major understandings around the changes in the jet stream, the Arctic, and other processes that helped explain the impact climate change has already had on our day to day weather.
But then she left academia and essentially became a mouthpiece for Neo-denialism, claiming others were being “alarmist” and that while CO2 was the main cause, we really shouldn’t be spending money on reducing emissions.
Her final blog announcing its retirement is an interesting combination of declaring victory, mostly thanks to Trump and his acolytes (like Carney) who have pivoted fully into the arms of the fossil fuel industry, and declaring she was tired of it all and just wants to be in her garden and stop the flow of now $16,000 (!!) to maintain her Wordpress blog for the past 15 years.
She has done real damage to efforts to stop CO2 emissions. But another part of me wonders if this is an admission of guilt. Very often people come to a point, even subconsciously, where they realize they’re in with the wrong crowd.
I wonder if she has had that moment with Trump. She probably thinks it’s all irrelevant and out of her hands now. Other players, namely the oil industry, Trump, Putin, etc. will decide what happens and scientists like her will have no impact.
I am glad she is tapping out, as so many deniers inevitably do, but it is clear she is doing it because she thinks she’s won, and that is very very bad for the world.

On Wednesday, the House of Commons petition #e7465 for reversing the cuts to Environment Canada closed and closed and yesterday it was certified for presentation in the House!
#poolpond, work, family, and other things over the summer I was not able to put much effort into promotion, but we got more than enough for it to be presented! So let's hope it has a good response from Government.
Thank you again for all your help!

When people decry the cost of saving a species or environmental studies before construction...or hell mitigating climate change before it kills off so many species.
the Japanese Tree Frog has a bacteria that literally kills cancer.
And beyond that, it teaches the body to attack any future re-occurrence of that cancer.
