What’s living in your nectar supply? Photo by J.G. in S.F..- This week at Nothing in Biology Makes Sense! For Valentine’s Day, a post on the population genetics of winemaking yeast.
- And at the Molecular Ecologist: How to start—and end—mentoring relationships, and a call for cool photos and images of molecular ecology and ecologists.
- Not that it’ll do any good. An excellent, clear summing-up of biologists’ complaints about evolutionary psychology, and an explanation of a more fundamental problem.
- Not for the faint of heart. A comprehensive report of emergency room visits occasioned by pubic hair grooming accidents.
- “Active postponing” for the win. Time management tips for the busy biologist.
- Small things considered. The microbes living in a monkeyflower’s nectar can interfere with pollinator efficacy.
- Uh-oh. That cushy private-sector job you’re planning on if the tenure track doesn’t work out? Might not work out, either.
- More than there used to be, but less than it looks like. How many people are applying for NIH funding, anyway?
- The bayonet vs. the hypodermic. How war gets in the way of public health.
- Called De Novo, for some reason. Dodgy researcher looking to publish dodgy alleged sasquatch DNA data (apparently) sets up dodgy new journal.
- Cool. Or, actually, cozy. Proposed energy efficiency changes to New York City housing that could reduce the city’s carbon emmissions 90% by 2050.
- Called, heh, DEBrief. The U.S. National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology (NSF-DEB) has launched a blog.
