Look at that adorable deer mouse with the Rocky Mountains in the background. Nice job @jpvelotta.bsky.social and team on nabbing the image! #fieldwins
1/How do maladaptive responses to novel environments influence trait evolution? With field & lab studies, we (@jpvelotta.bsky.social & @mstager.bsky.social) explored this in deer mice along an elevational gradient. And...it's complicated! 😱

Please spread widely and quickly - the more signatures we get the better chances we have of cajoling NSF into changing course on this small but very impactful item
We created an updated, urgent petition focused on the devastating #GRFP eligibiilty changes - please sign and share if you can!

If you are a grad student in their second year, hoping to apply for a GRFP, the eligibility requirements have changed. You are now ineligible. www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo.... This is an outrage. The government willy-nilly changes the way things are done and it hurts students.
Check out our new deer mouse paper @sse-evolution.bsky.social! A truly collaborative effort with @drgodwit.bsky.social, @mstager.bsky.social, and Zac Cheviron. academic.oup.com/evolut/advan...
So cool!
Very cool idea! Could provide insight into the predator escape hypothesis for diadromy.

AOC and Bernie in front of the rally crowd in Denver
Zoomed out crowd shot of 34,000 people in downtown Denver with Colorado mountains in the background
Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
AOC: Do you know which coloradans did vote to cut medicare and jack up health care cost? Every single Republican representative from Colorado. Don't you worry, I was just at Gabe Evans' district, and 11,000 of his constituents would like a word
New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024.
That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved.
Show me a better investment than that.

For the first time in 10 years, a child has died from measles in the United States.
Vaccines prevent measles.
Americans need to hear our top health officials say clearly: every child in America should get vaccinated against this terrible disease.
