Appalachian salamanders are beautiful! We show #salamanders pick up the bacteria on their skin from the environment in a species-specific way & this salamander-bacteria #phylosymbiosis relationship explains, in part, how susceptible they are to a pathogen

It's release day for #NerdNite book, #HowtoWinFriendsandInfluenceFungi!! I had the amazing opportunity to illustrate this book and was given a HUGE amount of creative freedom. I'm going to share what went into creating each one.

This whole thread. If you’re grading students on how well they write papers, but don’t teach your students how to write papers, you’re just perpetuating inequalities.

[David AttenBruh @AlHendiify]

It’s basically the trolley problem. Either we inflict this marginal annoyance upon you or we have STEM majors uncritically designing new child-killing, blender missiles.

stoked to share the preprint for one my dissertation chapters! we use participatory science data across 6 major taxonomic clades to show that across California, historical redlining alters species richness as well as species assemblages!!

It's never been feasible to be an academic without the social and economic support of a partner. to be honest. It is a system made for people (men) who can either offload childcare onto a partner completely OR a person who doesn't need the academic paycheck to be liveable

academic conferences are wild. $1000 in flights and lodging. talk about your work for 15mins. hear some questions that are more of comments. go to the plenary. a senior scholar says something completely out of pocket. "this is not who we are." overpriced cocktails at hotel bar.

My undergraduate research was published today in Evolution and Ecology - Predicting Age and Mass at Maturity from Feeding Behavior and Diet in Manduca sexta: An Empirical Test of a Life History Model 🐛 check it out if you are interested! https://t.co/tiWuuwTynV

Does anyone have training recommendations for Adobe Illustrator geared toward scientists? I've dabbled but am hoping to learn more!

Hi! My name is Anna Albright and I recently graduated with my M.S. in Biology from ECU. I am currently looking for a job in the Denver, CO area in anything environmental related (consulting, field/lab tech, education). Please RT and help a passionate biologist find a job! Thanks!

[Anna Albright, M.S. @AnnaMAlbright]

Well no changing it now! For anyone interested, I will be giving my M.S. thesis defense “Gradients in success: Impact of Wave Energy, Predation and Elevation on Oyster Reef Restoration” on May 26 at 9am. It will be hybrid format so anyone is welcome to join!
