ATTN: everyone at #Fungal26 ! Thursday night is official beach party night!
👏 thank you Anne Pringle & Soleil Young for highlighting the history of sex/gender in Biology (only since 1974!), the inaccuracy of 🍄“23,000 sexes”, and encouraging us to eliminate anthropocentric gender/sex from non-human biological sciences #fungal26
Currently at my first @gsb2026.bsky.social conference! Loving this discussion about QUALITY over quantity - we need more [funding for] fundamental science, b/c that’s what populates our databases that *so*much* microbial eco is based off now.

Yessss 👏 Lauren McIntyre👏 calling in everyone to thoroughly cite *all* the tools, packages, databases, etc. that we use in our papers. Cite in the refs, not just a web link! #Fungal26
Woohoo!!! Here we go! Excited for my 5th Fungal Genetics Conference! This is such a special conference for me and I’m so excited for a fun(gal) week with some my favorite fun-guys! #Fungal26 @hyphaltip.bsky.social
