I've been thinking a lot this week about what it would mean to do science in an anti-capitalist way and how revolutionary that would be for our community's survival now (especially for ECRs!!) and for our brighter future when we can reclaim it. I'm curious what it would look like to others? 🧪

"There’s an obvious fix to the problem of reviewer overwhelm: do less peer review." Or what if - hear me out - we acknowledged that the publishing quotas expected of us are unsustainable for doing good, rigorous science while being a human in this world? www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I couldn't agree more @jpflores.rbind.io! Continuing to do the scientific work that means the most to us is powerful resistance.

What the article DIDN’T mention is the Slack has a name! I’m so lucky to be a part of a team of passionate science communicators and advocates in @snapcoalition.bsky.social

Beetles are historically viewed as 'mess and soil' pollinators that often cause more harm than good. So why does this Appalachian beetle-pollinated flower make THIS MUCH nectar? We explore the natural history of Amianthium nectar and its interactions with beetle pollinators in new work in #AJB! 🧪

I escaped poverty because I am a scientist. And I am a scientist because of the National Science Foundation. A 🧵:

The part of the fifth amendment that people don't know as well as the "plead the fifth" bit is the ending: "nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." As in, the government *can't* just break contracts, like overhead agreements. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_A...

Ep4: In the last episode, we learned how to create a webpage using plane #HTML. I bet you thought the page looked ugly, didn't you? Fair enough! In this episode, you'll learn how to customize the page using #CSS . See below the result! @asn-amnat.bsky.social 🔬🐌
