Misha lived in zoos, but the elephant’s tooth enamel helps reconstruct wildlife migrations - @theU

I am done being sad about anti-DEI measures & am solidly back in the succeeding-by-spite mode. It got me through undergrad, & grad school, & my postdoc & my first asst prof position. Want me to jump through hoops for funding? Fine. I'll jump over the hoops & teach the next gen how to do it too.

This is how you do it. Thank you @sicbjournals.bsky.social Read their whole email to membership here mailchi.mp/sicb.org/sic...
an email from the society for integrative and comparative biology that reads "Attn SICB Members:
 

The past few weeks have been a stressful time in our scientific community, and we want to make our position clear: The Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology unequivocally condemns recent attacks on scientific integrity, funding for scientific research, and the importance of broadening participation in science."
