I'm really excited to present my research at #SICB+, and am honored that I won the Huey award for best student poster in @SICB_DEE! Check out my poster on the SICB+ website, where I discuss my work on the spatial distributions of the sea anemone A. sola!

@zoe_ologist @sciencegal_al I've been using a usb camera connected to a latte panda, recording via the windows camera app, and saving on an external hard drive. The only drawback is that it can only record for 3 hours at a time, but am working to see if I can write an openCV script to bypass this!

Just finished one of the most formative experiences of my life spending 3 weeks at the Bocas research station. Expected to see some cool biodiversity, but I really didn't expect to make so many close, amazing friends :') Thank you to everyone for making this trip unforgettable🪸

Completely irresponsible waxwing birds 🐦🐦🐦 tend to eat fermented fruit and then lie drunk on the sidewalks.

Wise passers-by collect them and put them in a safe place until they sober up.

Watch out 🚨🪸 #octocoralFriday! A major work on Octocorallia is available now elevating it to the rank of Class. Their evolution and phylogeny is revised changing many details of the tree of life based on phylogenomics. Study starts now! McFadden et al. https://t.co/W8vOtLGm1v

Recently, I wrote a bunch of Zotero tutorials that went (mildly) viral on #AcademicTwitter.

Thought I'd put them all together so folks can find them easily.

So, here goes 👇

Zotero 101: A meta-thread 🧵

Retweet to share it with your friends/colleagues.

A lot of academics migrated to Zotero after Mendeley Desktop got shut down on Sept. 1.

But MOST FOLKS still DON'T KNOW how to build their Zotero libraries.

Here are 4⃣ SIMPLE ways to add items to your Zotero library 👇

*Student submits their piano part.*

Me: Have you tried playing through this to see whether it's performer-friendly?

Student: No, I can't play piano.

Me (in my head): Have you seen hands before?

Did you know that #GoogleDocs has a built-in citation feature? This can be a GAME CHANGER for student research papers! Here’s a resource I made that breaks down the process. #GoogleEdu #highered #EdTech #AcademicTwitter #edutwitter #edchat #GSuiteEdu

Every academic knows that the BEST software for citation and reference management is Zotero.

BUT many folks don't know how to take notes and annotate PDFs in Zotero.

What might look like a common nudibranch is actually a young sea cucumber camouflaged as one.

[Sriram Ramamurthy @Sea__ram]

@Mothyash @SICB_DEE Thanks!! Yes, surprisingly a lot of anemones and corals are indeed very aggressive animals!

Visited the new deep sea exhibit at the @MontereyAq. Never in my life did I think I’d be able to see any of this stuff let alone pet a giant deep sea isopod!!!
