Teachers, check out this great opportunity, hosed by the Kellogg Biological Station LTER K-12 Partnership! Matt Wilkins from @GalacticPM is leading an interactive workshop introducing a free online unit, Genetic Rescue to the Rescue, based on authentic research and data! kbs.msu.edu/events/k-12-pa…

Missed this when it originally came out, but great article by isabela borges on @cbahlai's ground-breaking research on native and invasive ladybeetles at Kellogg Biological Station LTER! One look at those sticky traps in a field of corn and you know where this picture was taken 😃 lternet.edu/stories/simila…

NYT criminalizes Brazil's rural poor today with an intellectually dishonest hit job on the Landless Rural Workers Movement, MST, parroting a neofascist narrative that ignores Brazil's Constitution to maliciously frame it as "stealing" land. This narrative encourages violence. +

The NYT has actually published an article on the landless movement (MST) calling them "these Marxists". It is a shockingly reductionist framing, neither it provides a historical or legal background on concentration of land. It looks like journalism, but it is not.

For a great overview of our recent paper: "Strong evidence for positive and negative correlational selection revealed by recreating ancestral variation", check out the digest by Dr. Karin Gross, just published in Evolution! academic.oup.com/evolut/article…
