The two stats I learned this week that blew me away were that the US federal govt gives more to Lockheed Martin than to the Dept of Education, and that some universities get more from Dept of War than they do from tuition. Upended my understanding of universities as warmakers.

Arms manufacturers have embedded themselves in STEM programs across the country, creating engineering degree to defense industry pipelines. In 2020, the gov gave more $ to Lockheed Martin than the Dept. of Ed. My 2022 investigation for @inthesetimesmag inthesetimes.com/article/lockhe…

Giving a 20 min talk with 115 slides - what a disregard for the organizers and the audience. How many slides would you include in such a talk? I would aim for 20 slides (1 min per slide) max. How about you?

So excited to present this work tomorrow and chat with everyone about this incredible bee! Turns out we really have to look deeper (underground!) if we want to find some solitary bee symbionts! 6/

The core yeast (2 ASVs) found at two sites, two years of sampling- is Moniliella spathulata, a known producer of some sugar and sugar alcohols (SSA) that act as antifreeze. Its abundance correlated with stage specific shifts of SSA! 5/
