I am coming to the end of my first year at UVI! I am going to miss this group 🩷
General Biology II Lab field trip to Whale Point, April 2025!!
The Dept of Biology @ the Univ of the Virgin Islands is hiring for 2 NTT positions on St. Thomas, 1 in ichthyology/ecology/evolution and 1 in anatomy & physiology/molecular biology. Descriptions can be found at:

We hope to hear from you!
Here's the last part
Here's the letter the new administration is using to try to cow universities who work to give opportunities to all. Note how they cloak themselves in the language of protecting ant-discrimination while de-fanging anti-discrimination work at universities.
Wait until you're faculty.
This is so goddamn ridiculous. I'm applying for a grant from a federal agency to study coral loss in STX. We all know what the main cause of the loss is, but I have to tiptoe around and pretend it's solely tissue loss disease, agricultural runoff, anchoring, etc. We live in the stupidest timeline.

So what do we say: Is the Byzantine Empire the later seasons of the Roman Empire, or the successful spin-off?

I’m new to coral reefs. My MS was on paleoecology using Cenozoic molluscs and PhD on the Ediacara biota. Any suggestions for good reading/watching for overviews of coral A&P, coral reef ecology, conservation, etc.?
Stolen from r/funny. Happy Thanks Gibbon y’all!

Anyone else ever notice how the “If you teach a man to fish…” crowd gets awful quiet when you suggest increased education funding?
