Me in the Amazon Basin in 2001, when I started grad school with the support of an @NSERC_CRSNG scholarship. It paid $17,300, and was barely enough then. The same award pays $17,500 today. Just $200 more in 22 years. #SupportOurScience

One of my students was denied the @NSF GRF this year by virtue of being deemed ineligible because they took a one-week bootcamp prior to starting grad school and it showed up as a summer "class" on their transcript. Seems this could affect many applicants. Be aware! #NSFGRFP

I'm deeply saddened by Dick's passing-- I got the news in stunned silence. Dick loved evolutionary biology, population genetics, mathematics, and theory. He was an exceptionally clear thinker and writer about knotty concepts. He was fun and funny. Thoughtful, kind, generous.

Should PLFA or NLFA C16w5 be used to assess arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal biomass? A recent opinion authored by a number of colleagues previously involved in development and use of fatty acid biomarker assays for roots and soils is now online at rdcu.be/cWQyZ

A senior scientist @ucl, takes our paper, re-writes it changing words slightly but enough not to be detected by #plagiarism software, leaves all descriptions down to the tiniest details the same, and publishes it under their own name in PubMed. Apparently, this is OK

Thinking about biological collections lately I'm reminded of the time that somehow at age 4, I got a personal tour of the @UCBerkeley entomology collection (Essig?) from a kind scientist (anybody know who?!). Asked my parents how on earth THAT happened, and it turns out...🤯
