Real, non-trollish life advice:

If you're a smart young person and you really want to go to graduate school, then by all means go. But if you're on the fence, probably don't. That's not where the action is. And it's not where the action is going to be for the foreseeable future.

A dream is a wish your heart makes. A fossil is a rock your past makes. A skeleton is a Halloween costume your body makes. I could go on.

[Harlee Rush @Harleear]

@BugEric Yes! My dissertation chapters are exploring the effects of forest structure and local habitat composition on insect communities and ecosystem function. I have projects running locally in NE Ohio as well as one in Costa Rica! Slightly more detail (W.I.P.): https://t.co/fEau2DC1BY

My program just paused all funding of graduate student travel before @EntsocAmerica. Now I’m scrambling and distraught at the idea of possibly not being able to go.

In death there is life

Here's a Cordyceps (fungi) which had hijacked the brain & muscles of the wasp, made it climb to a high point of this leaf where it has wrapped around it & died. The fruiting bodies have exploded from the poor creature and are spread the spores #Honduras23

Fourth year PhD student

Has to complete a seemingly impossible task with very little help. Always has a pained look on his face. Sighs a lot.
