I just got this email regarding the spring 2026 Midwest Several Complex Variables conference:

"Unfortunately we did not get the NSF grant so the conference will not run this year."

I was not planning to attend this time (Florida Polytechnic being, for me, in an inconvenient corner of the "midwest") but I do co-organize a smaller annual workshop with a similar type of NSF conference grant. We got some funding in 2025 (>insert Theoden meme<), but I am not sure we will try for 2026. This #NSFfunded SCV event getting canceled is not good for anybody.

At the bus station - the final leg of A. Sukhov's long journey from France 🇫🇷 to Fort Wayne. His talk at the Midwestern Workshop on Asymptotic Analysis is later today.

We have those 145-year old pdfs because of efforts like @biodivlibrary.bsky.social and the 2005-2010 #NSFFunded Decapoda Tree of Life project. Very disturbing that our knowledge could slip back into obscurity where we have to travel to other libraries and translate manually... 3/3

Midwestern Workshop on Asymptotic Analysis

Weird feelings tonight. Obviously *gestures* the horrors. But a major step has been achieved on our #NSFfunded research. Beautiful beautiful data! Tonight, I know something only known by 3 people. No one can take this from us or the world 🧪

A bit of good news! our #PurdueFortWayne 🐘 department collaborates with Indiana University and #IUI on an annual conference series, which has been supported by the National Science Foundation for approx. 10 years. We have just received notice that this year's grant has been approved at all levels. There was some reduction in the $ amount of the award compared to our request but we still have some previous years' funding that we can use through a no-cost extension. Especially during these "difficult funding environment" times, this is a significant accomplishment for my junior colleague who is the PI on the application.

So stay tuned for a conference announcement and I can share more details privately if anyone else is working on similar grants.

Do you like coastal/estuarine microbiology, time-series data, and/or metagenomics? Have we got a dataset for you #NSFfunded

Metagenomes and 1,313 metagenome-assembled genomes from a northern Gulf of Mexico coastal time series - Scientific Data

Coastal and estuarine systems are hotspots of microbial diversity, activity, and biogeochemical cycling. Despite their importance, we have few comprehensive datasets of microbial populations across space and time from these ecosystems. To improve our understanding of these systems, we generated metagenomes averaging 46 M reads per sample (nearly 389 Gbp total) from four coastal/estuarine locations in the northern Gulf of Mexico across seven timepoints spanning nine months. Using standard methodology combined with a unique assembly and binning approach called subtractive iterative assembly (SIA), we generated 1,313 non-redundant metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) with 5% contamination or less and at least 75% completeness. We produced approximately a third of the MAGs through SIA. Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria were represented most. We recovered MAGs of great ecological significance including SAR11, Marine Group I (Thaumarcheaota), Marine Group II Euryarchaeota, SAR324, and Asgardarchaeota. We describe both our methodology using the SIA approach as well as the 28 metagenomes and 1,313 MAGs that provide a rich spatiotemporal dataset with which to study coastal and estuarine microbiology.
