Comment period ends on Monday for a proposed rule change that would terminate student visas after 4 years. It also puts limits on exchange visitors and reps of foreign media, and shortens the length of time at the end of the visa from 60 days to 30 days. www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

This is undoubtedly bad for American universities. But i do have a question about how university finance works. College tuitions keep increasing, overhead rates keep increasing, both faculty number and faculty salaries stagnated, where did the money go? !

A long read from 2017 but well worth the time for any scientist who both loves their job and and often finds themselves questioning their life decisions. www.danielnettle.org.uk/wp-content/u...

Speciation peeps: What is your favourite example of long-term monitoring of natural populations documenting associations between ecological traits and the emergence of reproductive barriers? Birds, insects, fishes, more?

Just one month until we begin reviewing applications. Please apply, &/or share widely! Feel free to ask questions of me or any other potential collaborators among the Princeton EEB faculty. Looking forward to learning about your research ideas, people! 🤩

Born in a butcher’s family, being a “postdoc” for 20 years, yet still keeps trying. Dr. Kariko’s story tears me up.
