The Hilton Boston Park Plaza has flight information in the lobby, but with old airline logos.

Peep the old Air France, Delta, JAL and a bunch of other logos here:

A three-decade long study of chimpanzees has revealed a primate version of a bloody civil war. It's now at risk of getting eliminated due to cuts at the National Science Foundation. My story here (gift link): nyti.ms/4mhr5NQ

Who’s coming to #Evol2026 in Cleveland this June?

I’m going!

Cleveland’s a great town—good food, great lakefront, and plenty to explore between sessions.

Show of hands? ✋
Early registration closes soon ⏰

“We’ve lost out on the ability to continue to improve this work to make it more effective, and to explore how to apply it to other areas…There are a lot of different ways that genetics has been used to justify prejudice and…that human-made social categories interface with biological categories“🧪

Man, it really bugs me that everyone's yelling about nukes when Trump's already laid out what he's threatening to do - attack civilian infrastructure

Tehran's got a population of 15 million and is in the middle of a severe resource crisis. A conventional strike can kill millions of people in very slow and painful ways and I wish we could talk about that instead of jumping to the worst thing we can think of and getting freaked out about it.

An LTER to my PhD advisor Fred Janzen kept the lab going for decades, generating one of the most complete and incomparable tissue/genomic/phenological datasets out there in long-lived animals + scores of important science ranging from conservation to mechanisms of sex determination. Heartbreaking 💔

Disgraceful!

The US/Israel just bombed Sharif University in Tehran. This is not only Iran's best university, but also a top 100 global university in the field of Civil Engineering.

It has also been a center of student opposition to the Iranian gov

And Trump just bombed it...

Trump/Vought are planning to eliminate the program that oversees social science funding from the National Science Foundation, and they are not going to wait for Congress to weigh in because they have already shown they believe they have the power of the purse.

Does anyone know if this is “archived” as in “being revised” or “archived” as in “there is no more LTER”?

Because #2 would be (more) awful news.

There was once an enslaved man who stole a Confederate ship and sailed his a bunch of families to Union controlled waters & got everyone free.

Then he fought as a soldier in the Union Army.

Then he was elected to US House of Representatives.

So, thing that is apparently better understood inside academia than outside of it:

International students pay sticker price. Most domestic students do not. International students are subsidizing the education costs for domestic students, as per student governmental funding drops.

I am shocked to see this language from the NSF.

“The U.S. National Science Foundation's Fiscal Year 2027 Budget Request reflects a strategic alignment of resources in a constrained fiscal environment while eliminating woke and weaponized grant programs that previously funded radical DEI projects.”

My three-year-old was watching the president's address when she turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, why can't I understand what the nice orange man is saying?" And when I told her "Because America elected a narcissistic sociopath in steep cognitive decline," she started crying.

Cool: "In Point Reyes, a National Park Service scientist has made an incredibly rare find."

Michael Reichmuth "photographed a group of newly hatched California giant salamanders in the wild for the first time."
