“I’m thankful for @IdahoStateU because of the focus on diversity and inclusion.” - Aspen Brown '24

Bengals, we're almost halfway through our #ThankfulForISU campaign. Tell us what you're thankful for this season!

Ask Rhys Ellis if he’d spend another nine days at sea, and you’ll get an enthusiastic answer.

“Absolutely, I’d love to do it again,” says the senior majoring in honors microbiology.

@Antiwoke_SSJ i would highly recommend learning about sex-changing fish species! super interesting

[Anna Jirik 🇨🇿🇺🇦 @AnnaJirik]

I'm looking for labs to begin my PhD within the next few years. I'm interested in studying sexual differentiation. I believe that sex is a spectrum and I want to further explore what this means in regard to hormones and behavior. If this aligns with your research, message me!

for in-text citations in my paper i’m just going to put “credit: unknown” like those instagram accounts that mass repost

I’m late to posting this but I had a great time in Portland at the 2023 Animal Behavior Society Conference! I met a lot of awesome scientists and had so many fun, thought-provoking conversations. I hope to attend again! @AnimBehSociety #ABS2023

‘cis’ and ‘trans’ are literally just scientific terms

[Ash Sarkar @AyoCaesar]

“Cis” is just a prefix, used to describe people who identify with the same gender as their birth. It’s no more insulting or made up than describing someone as being straight.

i had a fun time doing nature journalism with kids from fort hall reservation! i loved how into it the kids got. i’ve been taking pictures of nature since i got my first camera in 3rd grade and was happy to share it with a new generation. scientists are born from curiosity!
