Sometimes it's easy to feel like a small frog looking for its place in a big wide world.

Many turtle populations are dramatically declining due to habitat loss, road mortality and illegal collection. To close out #WildTurtleWeek, we invite you to join our pledge to #KeepTurtlesWild. Image by Sam Stukel/USFWS.

Before this semester ends, UF SACNAS Florida chapter wants to open a safe space for YOU to practice explaining your research in a second language (i.e., Spanish, English, Portuguese). Please fill out your information here (https://t.co/ROqdlbZlnU) or use the QR code!

[Justin Bernstein @JustBernstein]

It's set! If you're interested in snakes, phylogenomics, biogeography, museum genomics, niche modeling, and simulations, come see how I use all of these to expand what we know about homalpsid snakes during my @RutgersGSN @RutgersSASN PhD Defense. DM for Zoom 🐍 🧬 please RT!

There is no such thing as ‘de-extinction’

You can ‘recreate’ an organism - but you can not bring back a natural population/species as it was before we drove it to extinction. It existed in a certain time and space until that ended.

Save the species we have left instead.

[The Verena Institute @viralemergence]

A big announcement from team Verena: we're building an open repository for wildlife disease surveillance data. With your help, we want to track down a billion data points. Introducing PHAROS: the Pathogen Harmonized Occurrence and Surveillance database.

New paper out today on the evolution of amphibian vision! We found that both climbing and day-active frogs are more likely to evolve lenses that filter out UV light, which can protect their retinas and increase spatial acuity. Check it out in @FunEcology: https://t.co/nJKmSAzuso

Well.....better late than never! We are searching for a Terrestrial Ecologist. Please RT BROADLY!!!!

🚨New #Alzheimers Paper🚨
ApoE4, the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s Disease, has remained a structural puzzle. Combining 3.45 ms of @foldingathome simulations with #singlemolecule experiments now gives an unprecedented view of this protein

🚨NEW PAPER ALERT🚨
Experiments and FAH were combined to study an engineered ACE2 receptor for capturing and identifying #SARSCoV2 variants of concern. Check it out in @nchembio

This the kind of happy news I love to see! “Frog ladders are saving amphibians from death traps” via @Seeker

Such a great example that solutions to help #nature don't always need to be expensive and complex to make a big difference. #frogs #conservation
