I love my job! Proud mother of 50 monarchs. They grow up so fast 🥲

Hey #Sciencetwitter: I'm recruiting 1-2 PhD students to join the Wildlife & Water lab at @UGAEcology w/ some funding available for work on Nature-based Solutions, (freshwater) biodiversity & bird conservation, ecohydrology, & wetland ecology. Please share w/ friends/colleagues!

@Allograpta5401 @SINERR1976 @gmnhzoology @Entomology_UGA I miss this so much! Have an amazing time

[Julia Berliner @JuliaTheVeggie]

@GuloThoughts Most magical sound except maybe a swainson’s thrush song

[Julia Berliner @JuliaTheVeggie]

@GuloThoughts Is that swamp milkweed? 👀

[Julia Berliner @JuliaTheVeggie]

@GuloThoughts Do you know how to tell that it’s in the snouted weevil family and not the fungus weevil family though? Even though he lacks the snoot? 😈

[Julia Berliner @JuliaTheVeggie]

@GuloThoughts It’s at least this genus

Humans have pumped so much groundwater that we have measurably shifted Earth's axis. https://t.co/qFSkpiQQXE

@FogleBird She’s got nuggets in the oven!!!

[Julia Berliner @JuliaTheVeggie]

@GuloThoughts I love how there’s an egg right there! I should’ve sent you with an OE sampling kit

[Julia Berliner @JuliaTheVeggie]

And here’s the most satisfying part at real speed for good measure!

[Julia Berliner @JuliaTheVeggie]

I’m excited to share another fascinating timelapse to inspire the masses on this lovely Friday!

@_Xenofy_ @ATinyGreenCell Yes!! Definitely hard to wrap my mammalian head around it

[Julia Berliner @JuliaTheVeggie]

@ATinyGreenCell Haha, isn’t it wild?! My understanding is that, during the hours when the caterpillar is hanging upside down like that, the outer cuticle is separating from a new inner cuticle, which is actually that green wiggly pupa. We just don’t see it until the old cuticle molts off quickly

[Julia Berliner @JuliaTheVeggie]

@predpreysara @altizer_sonia and I will mate them to rear butterflies for our experiments this summer. Broadly, we are investigating how infection with the protozoan parasite OE affects monarch migration

@richhallecology HAH, what a perfect summary. Happy belated birthday!

[Julia Berliner @JuliaTheVeggie]

@apsciencebydan The dream 🙌

[Julia Berliner @JuliaTheVeggie]

@GuloThoughts And so yummy! Too good
