For #InternationalMuseumDay we reflect on the importance of museum collections, which are not only used for display but also education and research. Collections are at the heart of everything that museums do #IMD #IMD2024 @IcomOfficiel @AmgueddfaCymru

The first paper from our collaboration with @Iziko_Museums is out. Descriptions of new Arabella species from both UK (A. ampulliformis) and South Africa (A. umgazanae) will support accurate identifications & give clarity on Arabella iricolor #WormWednesday https://t.co/voreFRfkyl

FYI @WITN, these large, non-native crabs have also been found in coastal NC, and there are multi-agency efforts asking the community to help track them. https://t.co/7tRrIMlBfs @NCDEQ @NC_DMF @NaturalSciences @BWWilliamsLab

A special holiday thanks to our many amazing #LunchTimeDiscovery Livestream Show speakers this year, to our partners at @NaturalSciences, and to our host @EnvEdChris. We produced 46 talks in 2023...stay tuned for 2024! https://t.co/3jkUExk4mg

Intern Christa May is really getting it with inverts data entry, learning to catch when there are other phyla collected along with the target! This attention to detail expands our collections in really interesting ways.

@Coastal_Review For even more on this story, check out this recent @NCDEQ @NorthCarolinaEE/@NaturalSciences #LunchTimeDiscovery talk by @BWWilliamsLab https://t.co/ZuoVvEzN0G

@wareslab Awesome visual! I need to get my GoPro in the water more often. 🤔 No, this isn't Cambarus harti. I can't tell for sure, but I think this might be Cambarus aff. bartonii. Might need to go on a camping trip to double check 😉

[NorthCarolinaEE @NorthCarolinaEE]

"I'd like to talk to you about your vehicle's extended warranty."

It's to early to know the spread or impacts of the Blue Land Crab in NC. That's why scientists need your help.

@BWWilliamsLab breaks it down TODAY noon ET #LunchTimeDiscovery livestream https://t.co/ZuoVvEzN0G

[NorthCarolinaEE @NorthCarolinaEE]

Hi all, due to the short holiday week we've given the #LunchTimeDiscovery crew a much-deserved break. We're back next week though with one of your favorites, @BWWilliamsLab! https://t.co/cN1u8SPAwz Streams 9/13/23 @NCDEQ @NaturalSciences @EnvEdChris

Please share: I am still recruiting a master’s student to sample mussels in tributary systems of the south-central plains ecoregion in Arkansas. Position starts in January (2024).

One of my favorite projects to date is out today in Frontiers for Young Minds! @ColleenEcology, @MoniquePipkin, and @CorrieMoreau and I wrote this piece to communicate the value of natural history collections to young learners.

I received tissue samples from ~30 species, most of which are from the deep sea. I wonder how much money it cost to gather these. The value held by museums is insane

Uncovering the early history of the Georgia Museum of Natural History, 1785-1900 https://t.co/TLR528iU7V bringing this back up because watch soon for a new paper on the early 20th century history of our museum (spoiler: there was a fire…)

@NCReserve @NorthCarolinaEE @UNCims Looking at my calendar now 😉

[Dr. Bronwyn W. Williams @BWWilliamsLab]

Speaking of spoonworms @NCReserve and @NorthCarolinaEE! I am always up for searching for more of these amazing animals. We found the one showcased here @uncims tucked in a bivalve shell.

[NC Museum of Natural Sciences @NaturalSciences]

What the heck is a spoonworm and how is it "surprisingly elegant"?

@BWWilliamsLab, our Research Curator for Non-molluscan Invertebrates, took @MyPBSNC under the microscope to illuminate the moves of this strange & fascinating creature. Watch here: https://t.co/wRIuMaJX5Y

#WildlifeWednesday

We've been finding sand dollars with this orange ring on them. Did you know it's caused by spoon worms living inside the sand dollar skeleton (AKA test)?
