Field trip days are the best teaching days. Spring temperatures have been a roller coaster but here is what is blooming now in beech maple forests around West Lafayette.
Awesome! Congratulations!

NSF LTER program “archived”.
LTER=“Long Term Ecological Research”.
This program has been incredibly successful, incredibly frugal for what they accomplish, and…of course…targeted by evil know-nothings.
My heart is breaking.
What will happen to the 82 USFS experimental forests around the country? Many sites have decades-long experiments that are tracking how forests are changed by timber harvesting practices and climate change. As I say here, “you can't just pick up an experimental forest site and move it to SLC.”
Grad students & postdocs: how is funding uncertainty affecting you right now?

First @molecology.bsky.social 's special issue in December (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/1365294x...), and now this! Inspiring to see so many talented scientists working at the intersection of evobio, genomics, and applied conservation. Great for your reading lists!
Open postdoc position in my lab at Cornell, conducting comparative and experimental studies on transcriptomic responses to diet and toxins, utilizing the milkweed-insect community. Background in molecular bio & herbivory desired. academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/31867

This is an amazing program that BSA is running this year with the help of generous donations from the community after NSF funding was terminated. If you have undergrads interested in botany, encourage them to apply! Signing up to be a mentor is also super rewarding!
Did you know we offer free English language editing for authors submitting to Evolution and Evolution Letters? Simply send an email to our EELS program coordinator to get started!

I am happy to announce the launch of a new Arabidopsis genomics resource! Check out arabidopsislyrata.org Now you can easily look at the natural genetic variation across the entire species range of A. lyrata and A. arenosa.
🌿 Postdoc opportunity in plant evolutionary ecology/genetics!
My lab in the Dept. of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to start Fall 2026.
We study plant adaptation, using weeds as model systems.

Phenotype? as opposed to trait (in the strictest sense). I get lazy and sometimes use the two interchangeably but I think if phenotype is defined as a collection of traits it works.
Researchers in the US might be having feelings about writing grants atm-I know I am!
We still need to write them. In this Evolution Exchange, I again chat with Sam Scheiner, who summarizes how to write a competitive proposal.
His advice is gold, and helpful regardless of funder. Pls RT!

I'm guessing searching for turdus is probably not going to work 😂
For undergrads interested in an ecology REU, the deadline to apply has now been pushed back to Monday 2/9 for all NSF REU programs!
The people of Minneapolis have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The first time a city's population has ever been nominated.

CNN in Minneapolis: We are seeing thousands and thousands of people, we've been standing on the corner here for the past ten minutes. This this crowd has not let up. It's just continuous.
