Why might parents overproduce offspring? We explore the causality using experimental evolution of adorable burying beetles. Masterminded by @ChayAnimalFacts, Rachel Kemp, and @BuryingBeetle

My grad student Bethany Roberton took me out of my research comfort zone, and I'm thrilled that her first paper on plant responses to variation in prescribed burns is out! https://t.co/HtXVz8TrTX

[Darren Rebar @DarrenRebar]

What to do when you can't directly care for your offspring? Improve upon ways to indirectly do it! The wonderful @ana_lf_duarte, @aaallysahallett, @bjmjarrett, and @BuryingBeetle join me in exploring how nest construction evolves in burying beetles. https://t.co/v6uxRnGuzG

Attention incoming and current students @UCRiverside

I’m happy to announce that your Chicano Latino Alumni is now accepting #scholarship #applications for the 2021-2022 year.

When will the @NSF fund my alt-research program? Truly delicious results

[Darren Rebar @DarrenRebar]

Please RT: Just got word of funding for a TA position, so any students of yours who might want to start an MS this fall in insect behavioral ecology? PM me. Also, the gravel cycling is world class in Kansas 😀

[Darren Rebar @DarrenRebar]

@jenhamel Can't PM you and clearly way behind on Twitter. But if any of your students have an interest in hanging out in the beauty of rural Kansas for an MS, I'm happy to chat about environmental inputs on insect communication

Special coffee morning blend "Minority Leader McConnell" tastes so good - earthy, robust, sustainable, and not even a hint of bitterness

@kirstyjean @kguastaferroPhD I'd love to see both of you on Ben's talk!

@RobinMTing I believe in you to pull the gin trifecta

@WorthingtonLab You try standing when you're full of that much bullshit

Update: I emailed editor to express displeasure with 'review', provided specific examples why, and stated that editors should hold reviews to a higher standard as it reflects upon journal integrity. Their response...

Hey Science Twitter - What do you think?
An undergrad did a side project last summer, he wrote it up, and we sent it to a low-impact (<1) regional journal for review. Sample feedback provided...

@TimParker88 That's depressing. Hopefully the culture is changing...and perhaps it's been enabled by anonymity.
