@wmataGM @wmata randy will you consider moving a WMATA social media presence over to bluesky? This is one of the last things keeping me on this hellsite.

[Joe Hanly @Hanliconius]

just in case anyone needs telling this right now, bluesky is looking way more active these days

Panic at the disco? More like Panic attack at the Safeway.

If you’re on Twitter right now, you are not the kind of person who is going to miss out on big picture analysis long-term.

I think the thing to do today is focus on stuff that’s close, stuff you believe in, stuff you’ve gotta do, and stuff that brings you joy.

I'm at the point of lepidopterology where I keep accidentally thinking humans are WZ

Don't miss out working with one of the best and kindest scientists I know!! Neil Rosser’s lab at the University of Miami is currently recruiting graduate students interested in the evolution of tropical biodiversity

CORRECTION: *California Black worms, not blood worms!

[Joe Hanly @Hanliconius]

Today we did a Martin Lab Spooky Halloween Lab Meeting, with each of us sharing some fun, weird gross and/or otherwise interesting animals. Here's a quick thread of the fun, distracting things we talked about, which I think we are all in need of this week!

[Joe Hanly @Hanliconius]

Donya shared the California blood worm, which forms these crazy tangled conglomerates for defence, but can disentangle incredibly quickly. this video shows them in their horrifying glory, plus some biotech research that's happening with them - https://t.co/Hs49KzZyVX

[Joe Hanly @Hanliconius]

Lastly, Luca shared the fungus that parasitizes the brood X cicadas, leading to one of the most... unexpected Scientific American headlines I've ever seen https://t.co/KiFO6KLwC8

[Joe Hanly @Hanliconius]

Maybe I've been working with caterpillars for too long, but this is the cutest thing I have ever seen.

[Mark Rebeiz @RebeizLab]

Our new @CurrentBiology paper provides a rare glimpse into a morphological novelty in Drosophila eugracilis

In it, @gavinrrice and colleagues, infer and reproduce the likely initial steps of a novelty's formation

I'm super stoked to announce that I will be starting my own lab in January at Clemson University in the department of Biological Sciences!
If you're interested in working on seasonal plasticity in butterflies and moths, feel free to contact me!

[Joe Hanly @Hanliconius]

@karinburg that's amazing news, congrats Prof!

@FernandoFSeixas @EvoEcoGen @heli_papers the scales look very like what Larry dubbed "Type III" red scales present in most Heliconius, including in charithonia at the base of the hindwing. If so, it would probably need to be related to leaky optix expression!
