This thread resonated with me. Representation shapes perception and what we think we can achieve.

Another chapter published!
We found that populations of a dung beetle species differed in sexual size dimorphism, suggesting effects of differential viability and sexual selection. This is possibly driven by differing resource availability.

Our final, amazing plenary from @Nalini_DrP talking about reproductive isolation and speciation, with very impressive undergraduate research! @RoyEntSoc @unilincoln #Ento22

[Amrita Srivathsan @asrivathsan.bsky.social @asrivath]

iDNA from roadside flies detects rare mammals, birds, and reptiles. New and simple protocol: dissolve fly poop in water, metabarcode with MinION or Illumina. >400 flies belonging to 25 species ==> 294 identifications ==> 20 vertebrate species. @nanopore https://t.co/QzZH6omYWH

Watching my sister @Nalini_DrP give a plenary talk for #Ento2022 on studying insect reproductive evolution and diversification.

Kudos also to her lovely lab team who have done such cool work.

@DrPeterTodd @EMEL_NUS This is wonderful! Truly, I have done the most Arts & Crafts in my life since starting in BioD research. Something about those wonderful grant budgets that really fuel creativity...

[Jayanthi Puniamoorthy @JPuniamoorthy]

So happy to have been part of this barcoding initiative. The novel approach gave me so many opportunities for innovation & creativity in biodiversity studies, all the way from the field to the lab.

Be humble. Be teachable. The universe is bigger than your view of the universe. There's always room for a new idea. Humility is necessary for growth. 🧠

"Given that one in six pregnancies ends in miscarriage, we hope that the Singapore Government can... offer support to these couples by introducing five days of paid miscarriage leave."

AWARE's Lee Yoke Mun argues for miscarriage leave in this letter. https://t.co/9dfb2b0Wjm

Next level species discovery techniques using robotics and NGS barcoding. @RudolfMeier15 this is so cool!

[Rudolf Meier @rudolf-meier.bsky.soci @RudolfMeier15]

Meet “DiversityScanner”, the robot that uses machine learning for species discovery: it images, measures, identifies, and moves specimens from Malaise samples into microplates for barcoding; a good companion of “MinION barcodes by everyone, for everyone. https://t.co/Vr1rj1iVbz

My sister @Nalini_DrP doing what she does best - research and teaching young scientists. Check out the paper via the links in the post.

[Nalini Puniamoorthy @Nalini_DrP]

New paper in @JAppliedEcology shows that including larval sampling & DNA barcodes reduces error cascades in mosquito vector surveillance. Plus it features the hard work of young student researchers!
