So excited to see this one out there. A labor of love coordinated by Jonathan Bakker, it was a blast to explore these analyses as we refined this manuscript!

Biology is a STEM field that sits at the intersection of many science and societal issues that are considered controversial. We surveyed biology instructors to understand whether they discuss these topics and why, as well as why they teach science. lifescied.org/doi/full/10.11…

I am so excited to see this work finally come out! Led by a super team of bio ed researchers: @driessen_paige, @driessen_paige, Sade! Shardae! Sharday!, Jeremiah Henning, Randy Klabacka , Cissy Ballen, Amanda D. Clark, Robin A. Costello, Sheritta Fagbodun, Todd Lamb, & Kimberly Mulligan

Turns out that #Freziera’s phylogeny is robust to artifactual orthologs (an artifact of rampant paralogs erroneously inferred as single copy in our dataset)! Laura Frost and Ana María Bedoya have done a great job disentangling this phylogenomic challenge! #botany2023 #LagoLab

With another semester ending, here's your annual reminder that teaching evaluations systemically disadvantage women. Even when controlling for grades and other factors, students (esp. males) consistently give female professors lower scores. This can have serious ramifications.🧵

The leader of the University of Michigan’s 10,000-acre research and teaching campus in northern Michigan has been elected as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). Congratulations to UM Biological Station Director Aimée Classen! myumi.ch/6y1Vr

Excited to share work just published in Life Sciences Education! Undergraduate biology students seem to recognize the difference between sex and gender, but rarely notice gendered language related to adults. Cissy Ballen Sade! Shardae! Sharday! Jeremiah Henning lifescied.org/doi/10.1187/cb…

It took me SEVEN years to figure out that you can save a ggplot as a vectorized .svg file ggsave("file.svg"). The svg file can be opened on powerpoint and it will be completely vectorized, even text are still recognized as text boxes! No more recreating plots on illustrator!!!!!

My dept is searching for a tenure-track faculty member in cellular/molecular biology. Research discipline is wide open, ability to develop computational upper level and graduate courses a big time plus. message for any questions southalabama.edu/departments/ac…
