I will always remember her kindness. In addition to being an incredible mycologist, Adriana was a fierce advocate for early career researchers and equity in ecology. What a loss 💔 This hits hard. A meal train is circulating to support her family: www.mealtrain.com/trains/l3kg64

Meal Train for Jovani Catalan (Spouse of Adriana Romero Olivares)

Hi all, Please help out the family of Adriana Romero Olivares. Her husband, Jovani, and kids can be helped with meals over the next weeks as Adriana recovers.

A new study from my PhD was just published in Phytobiomes Journal! We repeatedly sampled ash stands in Minnesota over a four-year period to determine if and how the fungal and bacterial communities changed as the trees were attacked by the emerald ash borer. apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/10.1094/...

Illustrations from an earlier paper of a bunch of microcaddisflies that look like moths. Let’s be serious this is all just moths.

Restricting visas to 4 years would be yet another way to strangle innovation in science. Please comment TODAY. Average PhD length in biomedicine is 5-6 years in USA. Here is what I just posted. Direct link to add your comment: www.regulations.gov/document/ICE...

International F1 and J1 visa holders are a strategic national asset. They strengthen U.S. economic growth. I am a Professor of Pediatrics at a large public university in the USA. This proposed change would cause severe damage to science and innovation in the USA. PhD students and post-doctoral fellows, who conduct most of the experimental work in research labs across the USA usually spend more than 4 years in these positions. A PhD in biomedical research in the USA typically takes 5 to 6 years to complete. This continuity ensures adequate training in the complexities of current biomedical technologies and also enables these trainees to make significant new discoveries that are translated into better health outcomes for our population and new innovations that drive economic growth. Our labs attract the world's best foreign trainees because of the world-class state of the art research here in the USA. These foreign students and post-docs are not competing with USA citizens. Rather, they add to our research enterprise, enabling faster innovation and progress. Further, many stay here in the USA after completing their training and continue to help push forward science and innovation in our country. Establishing a short 4-year limit to these visas would dramatically reduce productivity our USA research enterprise, with significant negative economic impacts for our nation.
