The climb begins. Neotibicen nymph (actually adult squished into robotic nymph armor at this point) headed up to molt and fly. #InverteFest

@MarielaOviedoD1 Looks awesome! Is this picture of Dolomedes mating?

[Jack Ashby @JackDAshby]

OK here we go. Conceivably the greatest, most technical accomplishment in the history of natural history art: nearly 4000 glass models of flowers created by Rudolph and Leopold #Blaschka for @HarvardMuseum. None of the objects in here look like glass.
Readers, they're all glass.

Big meal for a little guy! Peeking behind the moth you can see a Phidippus. Possibly hang gliding after dinner? 🪂

We tracked (also in 3d! thanks to @swathishesh's code for 3d reconstruction) the movement of spiders with @DeepLabCut as they flexed their webs, and evaluated their change in appearance from a wasp's perspective

Such a lovely two day workshop with these amazing scientists! #SIGNALws2023

This is Tehran capital of Iran. The murdering of #MahsaAmini Became a turning point for women of Iran. Hijab Police killed Mahsa because a little bit of her hair was visible. Now she became a symbol of resistance for women to take their disability back.

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

This is Iran today. A woman proudly burning the most visible symbol of religious dictatorship; compulsory hijab.
Hijab police killed #MahsaAmini but now there are millions of Mahsa in Iran who are shouting NO to Forced hijab NO to gender apartheid regime.

[Bird Friendly London @BirdFriendlyLdn]

Bird migration is entering full swing — keep your binoculars ready! What 🐦 are you seeing and hearing #ldnont? Remember to turn off unneeded lights💡 after dark to reduce pollution and help birds see cues in the night sky that they use to navigate.

Check it out! I was on @GradcastRadio, Western's podcast for graduate student research. Fun conversations about spiders with Ana and Amalie!

#WesternU will require students and employees to be vaccinated with at least one booster, and wear masks in instructional spaces this fall. Read more about how we’re protecting in-person learning and our vibrant campus experience. https://t.co/MwEPkZooi3

After hatching, the babies ride on mom's abdomen until they are ready to disperse!

[Reese Gartly @RGartly]

Saw some really cool spider biology this week! We saw one of our wolf spiders (Tigrosa helluo) laying an egg sac! Here is her laying down the silk

[Reese Gartly @RGartly]

And finally sealing up the sac! She will then attach it to her spinnerets and carry it under her abdomen until the babies hatch
