This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later, that debt is paid.

Trump, Musk, and the GOP have fired civil servants responsible for health and public safety, caused disruptions for small businesses, and undermined critical government services. We want to hear how these actions have affected you. Share your stories here: democraticleader.house.gov/shareyourstory

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Habitat Changes at the Local Scale Have Major Impacts on Waterfowl Populations Across a Migratory Flyway
Migratory waterbirds are declining worldwide due to habitat loss, but not much is known about how the loss of specific wetlands can affect waterbird populations at the biogeographical scale. To inves....

Future #climate projections of tree cover suggest the boreal forest is headed for an open state (⬇️🌲in south & ⬆️🌲in north) But, how will boreal tree cover dynamics influence—and be influenced by—climate feedbacks? We discuss this in a new commentary @pnas.org. 🧪 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Simplified conceptual diagram of potential feedbacks associated with a projected open forest state in the year 2100. The transition to an open forest state is closely tied to feedback processes such as changes in biomass and species composition, disturbance (wildfire, insects, wind), albedo, water availability, and permafrost dynamics

Our 2021 paper found support for the solar glare hypothesis for the function of the Peregrine Falcon's malar stripe doi.org/10.1098/rsbl... In our new paper, we test this hypothesis across all falcon species but find no support for the hypothesis across other falcon species doi.org/10.1111/jav....

No support for solar radiation as a major evolutionary driver of malar stripes in falcons
The malar stripes of falcons (Falco spp.) are often hypothesised to function by reducing the amount of solar glare reflected into the falcon's eyes while hunting, thereby aiding foraging efficiency i...
