    Have finally gotten the Disabled Scientists Slack workspace running & discussions have been great! If you're interested in joining, please DM me your email & I'll send an invite. Targeted audience is STEM folks (esp. but not only academics) who are disabled/chronically ill/Deaf.

    let this be your random reminder to back up your hard drives and data today or sometime soon if you haven't recently! <- not triggered by anything bad, I just took a backup last night and realized others may find a reminder helpful.

    The video gets additional props for depicting another disability (amputee), gender/sexuality minorities (though expected given the survey), folks of varying races/ethnicities, etc. So rare to see this kind of representation around, especially of disability.

    Obviously plenty of disabled folks use other types of wheelchairs, but one gets a bit tired of the overused stock image of the supermarket/airport wheelchair that is difficult to move independently. Seeing art of someone in a lightweight chair is rare!

    TIL that if you are taking the Tube as part of an assisted travel booking, they list the departure and arrival times as 00:00 (sure), January 1 (okay), ... 1753. What. I could understand 19something, but *17*53?!

    This was interesting (and has had an asexual survey option fixed which helps). Best shiny from it: the cartoon narrator in the explanatory video is in an actual independent-use lightweight manual wheelchair! represent.

    When I returned to the UK from my first five months in Panamá I missed the chorus of the Orange-chinned Parakeets. But then I heard the Jackdaws that live around the church next door - it's not quite the same call but the same social chorus cheers the heart.

    Also separately I remain chuffed (choughed? haha) that the master identity site is Raven and one collects one's new account details in Jackdaw. Corvids++!

    Hmph, apparently there are issues loading the image (too small maybe?). You can see it here instead:

    Aww, 's master login site, Raven, has been given a rainbow background for LGBTQ+ History Month (celebrated here in the UK in February)!

    The ecoevojobs 2019-20 wiki is a great resource for faculty & postdoc jobs. I am not sure why it is so difficult to find, so here is the link to help those on the hunt:

    This is an interesting conceptual shift and one I hadn't thought about before. I don't do any work at the moment but likely will in the future and I think I'll try to use this terminology as well.

    Not to brag but I think this Cratosomus lafontii I found crossing the street in Gamboa, Panamá is pretty smartly outfitted as well!

    I have a great student who is graduating this year and is looking to get some experience working in a plant lab for a few years before applying to grad school. Any plant biologists know someone looking for a research assistant?

    Lots of EcoEvo Twitter talk about paper retractions due to data issues. Today, a student in my Biostats class told me she submitted a conference abstract but doesn't have significant results. A PhD student told her to expect rejection. Can't help but think these could be related.
