Last year, we helped 100 students save $31K in grad school app fees, giving students from underserved communities the freedom to apply widely.

This year we lost 16 partners = $8.2K setback = 110 fewer dreams.

🎓 You can change that.
💸 Donate to open 110 new doors.

Flyer for a Donation Call where there was a lost of 16 grad school app fee waiver partners this year, totaling $8,250 in waived fees for aspiring scientists gone, that is 110 applications that may never be submitted.

Celebrating for all the people who recovered their freedom today. To be clear, despite what the media call it, both sides were keeping hostages. It’s unethical to call one side hostages and the other “prisoners without charges”.

God it's so gross hearing reporters talk about Israeli "hostages" but then refer to Palestinian "prisoners held without charge" like what's the material difference between these two categories?

Lol the Nobels can't even acknowledge women's contribution to discovery. But sure let's acknowledge The Machines.
Headline from an article in Nature this week that states "Prizes must recognize machine contributions to discovery. The future of science will be written by humans and machines together. Awards should reflect that reality."

The Animal #aDNA Research Community is looking for new members to its steering committee!

If you are an ECR and interested in the field, we would love to have you on board. We particularly would value committee representation from outside of Europe.

We all know hand-on learning is best. If you're a student interested in population genetics inference, compete in GHIST! ghi.st . You can even get started without installing any software using our webapps: ryangutenkunst-dadi-two-epoch.hf.space and ryangutenkunst-sweep-detection-dpi.hf.space .
A meme using the "Distracted Boyfriend" template showing a man in a blue plaid shirt (labeled "GRADUATE STUDENTS") looking back at a woman in a red dress (labeled "HANDS-ON GHIST COMPETITION EXPERIENCE") while walking with his girlfriend in light blue (labeled "THEORETICAL POP GEN COURSES"). The image satirizes graduate students being tempted by practical competition experience over theoretical population genetics coursework.

Like you, I've read so many nice things about Jane Goodall's amazing life and legacy today, but this video of the realease of the chimp called Wounda is beyond words ♥️

If only we could find the will to stop destroying the extraordinary natural world around us...

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others.

Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla:

“People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.”

Close to 65k watching the livefeed from the Global Sumud Flotilla off the coast of Gaza.

Israel seems to be intercepting right now.

All eyes needed.

And that's a wrap on Bone Diagenesis 2025! What a lovely conference, full of kind and brilliant scientists. Also the first time my talk has been so 🔥🔥🔥 it set off the fire alarm (I'm choosing to assume that was the reason) 😅
Me giving a talk, barely visible behind a giant podium. About five minutes later, the fire alarm went off, and we all had to go outside for a while. But hey, at least the audience were awake after that! Photo by Dorothea Mylopotamitaki.
