TAKE ACTION with SCBNA TODAY to write in opposition to the proposed rescission of the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule. This legislation brings devastating & irreversible consequences to the biodiversity, wildfire resilience, and long-term health of our nation’s forests. tinyurl.com/bdf7hs54

Hot off the presses 🔥🦇! In a new paper, we describe a new migratory strategy (pell-mell migration) in which hoary and eastern red bats migrate north in the autumn— sometimes long distances— before turning around and migrating south. 1/n

New pub from my first PhD student @batsonthemove.bsky.social. She found some bats have a complex migration strategy: two species move north in the autumn, flying long and likely circuitous routes of hundreds of miles, before ultimately returning south to overwinter. news.ufl.edu/2025/09/bat-...

Also if you're at #ESA2025 and interested in bats (maybe birds too), bioacoustics, arid landscapes, and thinking of a PhD, please say hello. I plan to recruit 1-2 grad students. Spring or fall 2026 start with a focus on desert waters or renewable energy. lavertylab.org Happy to meet up!

The bottom line with the proposed cuts to NSF is to cut the number of working scientists and disappear opportunities to train new scientists. This is a PROPOSED budget to Congress. Call your reps.
screenshot from the NSF budget request to congress showing that the number of people involved in NSF activities will drop from 330,100 to 90,000.

This is terrible news & just one part of a bigger picture. Prepare yourself for ongoing updates about the “reduction in force” this month and more again in April. Talk to your community about it. They may not believe it at first - it sounds unbelievable! But we must bear witness & explain.

Colleagues, including my partner, with years of service at the agency. Some Permanent POs reclassified as Probationary. Exceptional scientists who were former professors at major institutions, and came to NSF to serve the community and ensure science thrives in the US.

"Anyone who has studied science under the Nazis...cannot fail to be dismayed and alarmed at the parallels in the response so far of scientific institutions and academies to the purges and abuses of power following Trump’s executive orders" 🧪 #scicomm www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/scie...

Scientific institutions have a long history of anticipatory obedience
Societies should learn from this and speak up to support inclusion

Back to 🦇 content - this is the endangered Fijian free-tailed bat. There is only one known maternity roost for this species. We’ve just released a video on how we worked with local partners and communities to save this species from extinction: vimeo.com/1038668450

I was just forwarded communications from Duke admins that this is true: one of the largest and most active herbaria in the United States is being closed in the middle of an extinction crisis, because Duke leadership does not wish to support the infrastructure costs.

The first global temperature data is in for the full month of September. This month was – in my professional opinion as a climate scientist – absolutely gobsmackingly bananas. JRA-55 beat the prior monthly record by over 0.5C, and was around 1.7C to 1.8C warmer than preindutrial levels.
