This platform has been a great place for researchers to share science, research opportunities and for sci comm, but supporting this platform has become untenable given its billionaire owner’s plan to merge policy and profit in collaboration with the upcoming Trump presidency.

Last minute team changes mean we have a position open at short notice. Starts mid-Jan, application deadline Nov 21, costs covered & small stipend. DM for any questions - it’ll be full-on algae fishing fun times!!! Pls RT

Study with @michaelgiolai out now in @ScienceMagazine 🥳🥳! We find evidence for a trade-off between investment in molecular defense repertoires and growth in wild plants but not in agricultural plants science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… @ERC_Research @SuomenAkatemia @snsf_ch @RECecochange

I am mobilizing + giving free weekly science communication workshops in a private community for scientists who want to join the battle vs misinformation. I wasn't planning on doing this so soon but this is urgent. We need you. Scientists, DM with your credentials for details.
