Marine parasites are increasing but still vastly understudied. New book from Jeb Byers, @johnwares.bsky.social, and @blakeslee-lab.bsky.social covers coral disease to parasite evolution across 18 chapters. Out June 5 from Oxford UP in the EEID series.

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.

"I don't know what NSF is going to be now, but it's not more efficient. It's just a mess." My story on today's firings and their impact. www.npr.org/2025/02/18/n...

National Science Foundation fires roughly 10% of its workforce
