Hi! On Saturday I married your podmom @jarrettsleeper and because it’s #SharkWeek, today’s episode will be a refreshed encore of #Selachimorphology but don’t tell my husband I’m also trying to finagle a last-minute minisode with @MISS_Elasmo because I just can’t resist OOPS 🦈

#WildlifeEcology (FIELDWORK) w/ @hood_naturalist is UP.

Muddy sinkholes, early mornings, salty marshes, beautiful birdsongs, ruthless wrens, zoo tales, hidden nests, eyeball gnats & dedication. Your new science hero is Corina Newsome.

I love her.

A thread of weird marine animals you didn't know existed.

I did not enjoy Seaspiracy. They placed blame on a lot of entities that didn’t really deserve it (like Asia as a whole) and shared a lot of seemingly incorrect statistics. I have a lot of issues with it. If you want to watch it, that’s fine, but PLEASE do additional research! +

Shout out to state schools! I transferred from a UC to @sfstate my junior year because tuition was only $1700 a semester. Also attended 2 junior colleges for prereqs. Ahhh, the US: where illness & education can bankrupt you.

Cycads are one of the world’s most threatened plant groups, yet many species exist in living collections. Often these are old & of unknown origin. Population genetics could be the answer to making them a useful part of conservation work.

My latest for Botany One. #iamabotanist

In times of Covid, if someone says they are not comfortable in attending an event of a large gathering, you really should be understanding about it. That's it. No further explanation needed. If you're gonna be offended about it, that's on you.

This is truly disgusting, vile, and evil. It doesn't matter what you scrape onto these animals' backs, it is an atrocious act towards a living creature.

[Jasmin Graham (she/her) @Elasmo_Gal]

Hot take: when picking an intern/undergrad researcher you should pick the person with less experience. Because...hear me out-internships are not jobs. They are opportunities to gain experience and are therefore most helpful to the people with the least experience.

When your soul feels like it's "on to something," hold that tight and follow it.

[billy chapata. @iambrillyant]

you’ve been so focused on what you want, and now what you want is staring you right in the face and you’re not sure if you want it anymore. remove the handcuffs fear has placed on you, and open your arms for the blessings you have waited for. comfort zones can be poisonous too.
