It's hard to articulate the level of anger & rage I have about watching this happen. I first saw weev doxx people I love *TWENTY* years ago. I spoke to founders of multiple social networks about the risk of these people over 15 years ago. I wrote about it all a dozen+ years ago. They let it happen.
A black and white striped fish swims near branching coral underwater. The coral has a textured surface with white tips, and the background shows an underwater environment with more corals.

WHOI researchers found that damselfish's reef locations influenced how the sounds of their mating calls!
This insight enables scientists to detect species remotely and, in some cases, measure spawning success.

Promotional graphic for Botany 2026 on a white background with an orange border. The top features the conference logo, a semicircular illustrated scene of a Sonoran Desert landscape at dusk with saguaro cacti, prickly pear, barrel cactus, and other desert plants in bloom under a twilight sky with a moon. Text around the circle reads "Biodiversity at the Boundaries" and "Tucson, Arizona." Bold orange text in the center of the logo reads "BOTANY 2026" with "August 1-5" displayed on an orange band. Below the logo, large bold orange text reads "Abstract Deadline April 13, 2026." The website address www.botanyconference.org appears in smaller text. At the bottom is a row of co-sponsoring organization logos including the Botanical Society of America, ASPT, Society of Herbarium Curators, American Bryological and Lichenological Society, IAPT, and American Fern Society.
The abstract deadline for #Botany2026 is April 13!
Share your research with 1,000+ botanical scientists from around the world at this year's conference in Tucson, Arizona.
