Calling all Scientists! Research Administrators! Deans! Fans of Science! No one is coming to save us. Here is your assignment. I have written a step by step, easy to understand "how-to" document to help you comment on the proposed OMB rule. elizabethginexi.substack.com/p/what-we-ne...

New Fed guidelines "deemphasize the role of peer review in determining what work to fund, limit the ability of scientists to use federal funds to publish their research or travel to conferences, & offer political appointees more latitude to terminate grants at will" www.statnews.com/2026/05/29/n...

Of all the harm this administration has done to US science, today's proposed changes to the way federal grants are awarded and administered is the most damaging yet. The text of the federal register document is impenetrably tedious by design, so here's an excellent summary of what it says.

Forest entomologists are already depleted. Invasive pests are just getting worst. We need more forest entomologists and tree pathologists, not less! @entsocamerica.bsky.social www.ctpublic.org/news/2026-05...

Big THANKS to collaborators for Aegypti samples from their labs and around the world. Addie Williams, Ken Olson, Eric Calvo, Lindy McBride, Noah Rose, @brackneylab.bsky.social @lambrechtslab.bsky.social @agloriasoria.bsky.social; Many Others, too many to list w/ character limit. Sorry! See Paper!

New in @science.org ‼️ In the most comprehensive study to date, we show that wildlife trade is driving animal-to-human zoonotic spillover at a planetary scale, with +1 spillover per host every 10 years. Live animal markets and illegal trade pose even greater risks. 🔓 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

👀There will be a Keystone Symposium with a focus on Vector-Pathogen Interactions to be held in Geneva, Switzerland in February 2027. It should be a great meeting and hope to see you there! www.keystonesymposia.org/conferences/...

Wildlife disease data, especially negative data, are one of the last types of data that ecologists just... don't share. We built a place for them to archive it - and now, journals are encouraging people to use it! Big congrats to @danjbecker.bsky.social on this push ❤️

So great to finally have this out!!

This isn’t fully true! You can request a manual postmark at a post office, you just need to know to do it. Just another thing to educate mail-in voters about. nstp.org/article/usps...

🦟 We've just published the world's first head-to-toe single-cell atlas of the Aedes aegypti mosquito in @cp-cell.bsky.social! The #MosquitoCellAtlas maps 69 cell types across 19 tissues, revealing surprising biology. Read it here: shorturl.at/dJWT3

A new genetic study in Science overturns the myth of the “London Underground Mosquito,” revealing that this common urban insect originated not below the cities of modern Europe, but in ancient Mediterranean civilizations more than a thousand years ago. https://scim.ag/43xWovB

I wrote an opinion piece about parental/family leave at UConn. I’m only ~75% happy with it but … something needed to be said. Many things actually. Loudly. Repeatedly. And with as many voices as possible. “This is UConn: Zero paid family leave for professors” ctmirror.org/2025/10/21/t...
