@BenCAugustine I even had a blanket statement that said “Worked 40h/week unless otherwise stated”. Didn’t matter. I got HR involved at the USFWS hiring manager and there was nothing they could do.

Sorry that happened to you, that really sucks.

[Abby Lawson @AbsLawson]

@BenCAugustine I had the same thing happen to me, but was for a USFWS job. They said the only employment they could verify was from my current SF50, 9 months into a GS12 postdoc

Job I was applying for was a GS12, but I needed 1 yr of experience, therefore, I wasn’t qualified. Complete BS

Ahem, is this thing on? 🎤

My account was hacked last week, 0/10 would not recommend

Sorry to those of you who were spammed about gaming and blockchain… was tough to watch that play out from afar

Back now, to tweet about science, but mostly dogs (if I’m being honest)

@nmsu_fwce Who is Abigale Lawson? She sounds cool

[NMSU Fish, Wildlife & Cons Ecol @nmsu_fwce]

And one more new grad student. Whitney Watson is from Minneapolis, received her BS from Macalester College and her MS from U Wisc-Madison. Her PhD w/ Abby Lawson & Tim Wright will examine the ecology of rosy-finches in northern New Mexico

Field day for the Lawson Lab!

Heather Zimba (MS student) and Erica Christensen (postdoc), and I checked out prospective release sites for Bolson tortoises on @USFWSRefuges! 🐢

@ShannonSkalos Get multiple quotes from different companies and then play them off each other. We saved about $7K on the panels and got a bunch of electrical panel work done for free!

@liberationastro Two of mine were-- has a close close friends/reliable support network (this was surprisingly rare). Love or at least tolerates dogs.

@corvidresearch I bought a gravel bike after saving for ~2 yrs. And my partner installed a garbage disposal, next up- dishwasher. #Movingonup

@Elmore_Ecology @ClemsonUniv Congrats! Excellent scientists in Clemson FWCE department. Enjoy Tiger Town!

@RepSaraHannan lol I was about to ask! I remember seeing these signs in grade school (90s)... for a second I had thought that I must have had a very good memory for a toddler!

[Jennifer K. Frey @JenniferKFrey]

These are the female faculty of @nmsu_fwce. What an awesome group of smart and talented women scientists! @theresalaverty, @JenniferKFrey, Martha Desmond, @AbsLawson, Wiebke Boeing, Colleen Caldwell, soon to come @KCPregler

[Ecosphere @ESAEcosphere]

A new #alligator study uses a Bayesian #IntegratedPopulationModel to harness multiple data sources, generating abundance estimates of each size class over time
