The International Hibernation Society is happy to release the Seasonal Hibernation Highlights for the Spring 2026.
Enjoy reading the latest research on Torpor & Hibernation as Seasonal Adaptative Strategies and as Biomimicry Inspiration!
A 20% budget cut atop multiyear funding-induced cuts to research and direct terminations of projects underway will further degrade American leadership in science.
This is early news & not even a proposal or appropriations - precisely the reason to speak out now.

Make sure to join Science on Tap on next Tuesday (3/10) to hear about the secret lives of blue spotted salamanders from Dr Jill Leonard!!
First pilot study of the Northern Michigan University Energetics Lab on black bears across the Michigan Upper Peninsula! The ultimate project’s goal is to study the unique adaptations, e.g. thermoregulation & body protein sparing, during the hibernation fast & inactivity of the American black bear.
Come to Science on Tap to see the blue spotted salamanders!!

Very cool documentary video - Thanks for sharing! Only one comment on the title: we should stop using sleep-related terms to refer to hibernation & torpor which have nothing to do with sleep processes. This is even highlighted in the documentary itself!
Instead of spending big money to recruit a few dozen academics from outside of Canada, I wish the Liberals invested in the outstanding talent coming out of our PhD programs. Postdocs could be extended (#, duration) for large numbers for the same price. It is top-down, headline seeking politics.
When rapid environmental change creates fitness valleys, recombination plays an ambiguous role. Wirtz et al. investigate how swift population recovery is possible, and interpret chromosomal fusions in this context.

Friends: please consider adding your name to this @ncaaup.bsky.social petition. UNC System administrators want to create a single, searchable repository of all university and college syllabi -- a move that invites political actors to attack the free inquiry on our campuses.
Circulating a petition against a proposal to force UNC system faculty to share their syllabi publicly, a move that would potentially exposing faculty to bad faith actors without necessarily improving student access to syllabi (which are already accessible in the course catalog) #AcademicFreedom

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.
