Unfortunately, one of the first things you learn when doing animal behavior research is that the animals don't care what your hypothesis is. #mentorship

@LuisZaman I love seeing the finished product after careful planning..

Excited to be discussing my research on brain gene expression underlying individual recognition in wasps in person! Come by Gondala at 11:15 to hear all about it :) #ABS2022

Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.

It’s been 4 months since the article exposed sexual misconduct @STRI_Panama. I was shocked & hurt to find the field station bedroom where I was assaulted remains without a door to this day. They did, however, put up a new sign about safe work environment expectations 🤷‍♀️ [1/8].

A year ago, a non-academic friend listened to a talk I gave. I thought it went great. My friend disagreed.

She said that academics are experts at making interesting stuff boring—and that we should all take a speech class.

So I did. And here are 6 most useful things I learned.

@nikeshdahal Congrats!!🍾

[Meagan Simons @MeaganSimons23]

So exciting @MaddieOstwald 🤍

Short 🧵: It has been 1 month since @NishSwish exposed decades of sexual harassment & abuse @stri_panama. Since then, I have not personally heard from STRI leadership to (1) invite me to discuss reforms or (2) even ask if I am okay [1/4] https://t.co/cFVPW6iUlV

[Meagan Simons @MeaganSimons23]

Incredibly well handled by @NishSwish and the women who spoke up.

When reading, remember that every stat, every reported incident, every “countless other” has a name. Has a story. Has pain. If the number of women who came forward shocks you, consider the number that couldn’t

[Nishita Jha @NishSwish]

Many researchers dream of one day working at the Smithsonian’s lab in Panama. But 16 women scientists told me that their experiences were nightmares ruled by prominent men who exploited their powers. A @BuzzFeedNews exclusive investigation.
