New paper by @CalPoly @CalPolyCSM undergrad Calvin Davis and grad student @ScienceWithSav showing that lizard skin water loss changes immediately and dramatically with temperature. https://t.co/WLzq7GaoWe

[Emily Taylor @snakeymama]

*New* open access article on endangered Blunt-nosed Leopard Lizard hydric physiology from @ScienceWithSav, @mfwestphal, @RTelemeco, @tessaileenn, et al.

Can we all agree to add pics of our study animals to our figures? 🥹

unbelievably excited to be spending my last quarter as an undergrad leading an all-undergraduate research team in carrizo plain!! over the next 10 weeks we’ll be studying blunt-nosed leopard lizards’ prey water content (and getting some gnarly tan lines) 🦎🐛💪

Why do 3D graphs exist? I think the lack of interpretability far outweighs any accuracy benefit... Why not just use a 2D graph with extra colors/linetypes for the 3rd variable?

Sincerely, utterly confused paper reader. :(

@MartineBotany @kojo_xi @melpsain wow, I miss Bucknell biology class field trips 🥲 the joy of filling out worksheets and not being in charge LOL

@biologistimo take my BF or BFF helps me a LOTTTT :)

@annainthefield LIKE THE CRAZY LIZARD WOMAN I AM ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️same❤️same❤️same❤️ I want to meet up with you to catch lizards someday!

#Lizards lose water across their skin, but how permeable their skin is to water loss *differs* across body regions and changes in response to the environment.

Such awesome #frog #climate research!!

[FrogID @FrogIDAus]

🚨 New research using @BOM_au and #FrogID and citizen science data led by @Maureen_E_Blob provides a more comprehensive understanding of the environmental cues Australia’s #frogs use to breed.

reading & re-reading as many papers as possible to help build my manuscript be like

[Central Coast Snake Services @CoastSnake]

Check out this adorable mini field guide that @ScienceWithSav made for kids. Pick up one of these and a Local Snakes coloring book for free at our booth at the SLO Reptile Expo this Sat & Sun Oct 15-16! We will also have awesome stickers and other goodies for sale.

If you're in Paradise Valley and have citrus trees: you have roof rats, and you also have Gophersnakes showing up to help out. This snake will eat far more rodents than the poison trap your pest control guy has laid out (which would kill the snake, too), so rethink the poison :)

7h of work time later... MANUSCRIPT DRAFT ✅✅✅✅✅✅🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🤩🤩🤮🤩🥳🥳🥳🥹🫠☠️☠️☠️

(stay tuned for the research details!)

[Emily Taylor @snakeymama]

Weekend writing retreat starting strong: in our pajamas.

Will we actually get dressed?

[Savannah Weaver @ScienceWithSav]

@PictureTheSouth @PARCorg @robinbedard_ this one was also nippy!

[Savannah Weaver @ScienceWithSav]

reminiscing about this adorable Smooth Green #Snake (Opheodrys vernalis) @robinbedard_ skillfully grabbed for our Colorado crew to admire ❤️❤️❤️

someone would rather be behind the camera than in front of it 🤣🤣

🪲🐜🦗🕷️🪰 legs packaged up & sent for DNA-sequencing ✅

first time doing something DNA-related since a lab I had in undergrad sooooo 🤞🤞🤞

[Savannah Weaver @ScienceWithSav]

@sciencewithtyus orrrr..... community science using Zooniverse! @Rattlecams had much success
