I urge everyone to call their local officials and tell them they won’t stand for the banning of medical masks with or without an exemption. If you don’t live in North Carolina you can still call and say you will never visit or spend a dollar in the State if this bill passes /13

We should ALL be pushing back because if this passes it’ll end up in other States - and it will embolden those who seek to harm ppl who are still masking and/or disabled. It’s going to further divide & segregate society along health lines - a very slippery slope into eugenics /14

If you haven’t been following the news from North Carolina about public mask bans, read this *wonderful* thread. Scientific/medical tools should NEVER be politicized like this. So many vulnerable people just want to protect themselves.

One of my favorite parts of #ASMboulder was the strong representation (and excellent talks!) of Latin American scientists! So happy to have seen old friends and met new ones & I’m looking forward to next time!

Strikingly, the true answer seems to be: ‼️False parameter settings‼️ Changing parameter settings from -p 4+(...) used as default to -p 2+2+(...) removes the peaks in all of our turtle data 🤯

Anyway, more about Project 2025: Did y’all know that FAFSA and Pell Grants ($ for students from low-income families) are issued by the US Department of Education? Project 2025 will eliminate the US Department of Education, FAFSA, and Pell Grants. This is a Trump-Vance policy.

My last conference as a postdoc 😊#evol2024 . Also, if you would like to be added to the John Edmonstone Slack channel for BIPOC scientists in Evolution, Ecology, and Systematic Biology, please send me a DM! The channel will open next week.

The sheer amount of sequence data generated here is totally nuts. Can't believe we now have South American Lungfish (~90Gb‼️). What a cool look at genome evolution in tetrapods. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Genome size expansion in the SA lungfish lineage "is by far the fastest rate of diploid genome expansion reported, exceeding those known for any other vertebrate lineage by adding more than the equivalent of the human genome size every 10 Myr" ‼️‼️ Fig. 2:

The chronospace R package is now published!! I hope it'll provide useful tools for visualizing and exploring sensitivity in estimates of divergence times. A really fun project with lifelong friend Millacarmonia besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/20…

I love ⁦Seagate⁩ drives but why do we need to actively generate more trash for the landfills? Would it be so hard for a buyer to select the type they need from a drop-down menu during purchase? 😭😭😭

By the way, the “Marxist” “communist” smear is also a dog whistle used to discredit Black movements by the FBI, segregationists the and the people who wrote Project 2025
