After a transitional period between 🇳🇴 and 🇫🇷, I am thrilled to announce that I have joined @ISYEB_UMR as an Associate Professor. I will be a fungal curator at the Museum national d’histoire naturelle in Paris @Paris_Fungarium.

@BioMickWatson It reminds me a lot of the investigation of the homeopathy claims in Nature in the 80's. From the investigation "The laboratory notebooks confirm that the position of the peaks varies from one experiment to another." nature.com/articles/33428…

@NKWhiteman For mycology, Meredith Blackwell has been organizing this for a couple of years. She arranges the interviews to happen during conferences, so travel costs are minimal @anoralhistoryformycology1377?si=Q8pwBjgFONNRA7f-" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@anoralhistory…

Caroline Langley (@__caro__line___) is crossing the country to start her postdoc, while Peter Dietzen, Michael Emerman & Jeannette Tenthorey have given up on X. I am happy to announce their discovery about ancient origins of antiviral Mx proteins biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/

Many Global North res. don’t know or care to know that our colleagues here pay reactives from their own salary. Even for myself, living in South America’s “richest country”, coming to these events financially is very damaging. My salary as a Full Professor is comparable.. 4/n

Sri Lankan last names are long, but our excellence in science reaches way further. Sajeewa Maharachchikumbura was awarded Keisuke Tubaki medal for the most outstanding early career mycologist in Asia. Sinang Hongsanan, the other winner, was not granted a visa to attend #IMC12.

@PetterBMadsen @IMC12NL I completely agree. To be charitable, I think he meant that the system should change to address this, but was not phrased ideally.

@IMC12NL should really consider the ending and how that was handled. Comments like that shouldn't be an ending remark, made in spite. Doesn't promote a inclusive scientific community

Two researchers from Africa can't attend due to lack of funding. Its brought up that #IMA could help out with those funds. The new chair, Stadler (guy on his phone all the ceremony) ends the Congress with the words 'I don't want to hear Africans complain'. #IMC12 Nice ending...

Houston, we have a problem! I hope there is room for reflection after #IMC12 on this VERY obvious problem, so that as a community we can do a better. Check thread below for more information 👇 Cc @FungusCrous

Not personal, but is repeated assignment of multiple (up to 3!) speaker slots to same (senior) presenter the best way to compose a conference program, showcase science diversity, & promote speaker diversity? Why not promote more ECRs? #IMC12 #DiversityInScience

@e_hannula @Team_Thomma I do wonder if these practises have unintended consequences. Senior scientists have lots of results from their labs, and so can produce more convincing abstracts. Grad students submitting abstracts months in advance often dont have the results yet for specific claims

@Team_Thomma No, it is not. Noted the same, and I am quite disappointed about it. There were a lot of great posters out there by many talented ECRs that should and could have been invited for presentations. To be fair, for contributed talks, the chairs did select them without seeing names...
