NSF seeks public input on its Fiscal Year (FY) 2026–2030 NSF Strategic Plan

NSF needs to hear from you. Among other points, I suggested: keep politics out of science; stop using the threat of cancelling scientific grants to try to control universities; increase NSF funding for fundamental research. Pls send around. Deadline is January 27. Thanks

It is official!! I have been awarded an NSF grant of ~$1 million for the project: "Exploring the role of fruit-eating bats in the dispersal of plant pathogens and the Escape hypothesis." Co-principal investigators are Gloriana Chaverri (yes... my sister... @morceglo.bsky.social ) and Max Chavarria.

We finally published this paper! It took some time, but it’s out now! In short, we found that the limited fungal diversity and β€œlow-functionality” of the sloth gut microbiota might help explain their "slothness." πŸ¦₯ This was an amazing team effort! link.springer.com/article/10.1...
