from our sibling journal @Ecol_Ent - paper from @1aurenstead @robcjohns and @StephenBHeard colleagues Host‐choice by a specialist folivore reflects trade‐offs between foliage quality and parasitism risks https://t.co/gK69kGB99P

[Stephen Heard @StephenBHeard]

Paper accepted! Look for "Host-choice by a specialist folivore reflects trade-offs between foliage quality and parasitism risk" soon in @Ecol_Ent. This is the MSc work of awesome lead author @1aurenstead, cosupervised by me with @robcjohns. Great work Lauren!

@StephenBHeard At the top of O'dell there are some patches in flower. I saw the same pattern in the some areas in Saint John (patches in "higher" elevation in bloom). Was curious why that would be the case?

@StephenBHeard So I shouldn't add this one to my Untappd??

[Stephen Heard @StephenBHeard]

Congratulations to @1aurenstead - both for a terrific MSc defence, and for emerging victorious in the Battle of the Champagne Cork! Such a pleasure having you in the lab, Lauren!

I've been instructed to convert the manuscript of my new book to US spellings. So if anyone needs a crate of lightly used "u"s, I can give you special pricing.

@WhySharksMatter baffled to learn yesterday that some sharks don't reach maturity for 150 years. Even though its not #bestshark this is a pretty cool paper.

Learning today from Dr. David Shiffman @WhySharksMatter about how to use Twitter effectively as a tool for effective science communication. I know I don’t use it effectively yet... so I might have some odd tweets today as we all learn some tricks of the trade!
