Not only one but two different covers! After 130 years of history, fungi have taken over the latest issue of @natgeo magazine. The edition includes an article titled “Why 'funga' is just as important as flora and fauna”. Read more: nationalgeographic.com/scien…

The best part of this conference, personally, it’s to see again the friends I’ve made here and making new ones. Long life to our beautiful and cool fungal biology community! Also, the beach is not bad!!! #Fungal24 🍄🧬🔬

#Opinion: "Graduate students and post-doctoral fellows, who are responsible for most of the lab-based research in this country, are one group that deserves far more financial support, particularly in the face of rising inflation." ✍️Writes @MarkLautens thestar.com/opinion/contribu…

Canada’s graduate students and researchers benefit us while being dramatically underpaid

The costs of doing research have increased over the past 30 years while the size of research grants for fundamental research has stagnated for decades.
