One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them. Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is. Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

NIH and other federal health agencies have been instructed to cease external communications indefinitely. This means that grant programs—the money that funds life-saving university and hospital research—are currently in limbo. This includes VA research on veterans’ health.

Are you interested in MS programs in ecology or evolution and want to be paid for it? Check out these fully funded programs (stipend + tuition is provided). It's been a looong time since I updated the list, so as always, check with the program for the latest info. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

A little end of semester chaos! Bonus points if you can guess who all the ducks in this one are! More duck pun suggestions are welcome for the next round/ to add to this one!

#Education resource! Over the years I created this collection of colored skull #3Dmodels for teaching. They're available to download on MorphoSource & to view on Sketchfab. Because of recent changes to Sketchfab, I migrated them to my website: www.graysvertebrateanatomy.com/work/colorso... (1/3)
