@biologistimo Shit, this sucks. We are sending you positive thoughts. We have never met but you’ve been a lovely person to follow for years. The valuable work you do will be there for you. For now- take good care of yourself.

[The Bug Chicks @TheBugChicks]

@phylogenomics Yay!! Shrink shrink shrink!!!

[The Bug Chicks @TheBugChicks]

@lovettbr This is great news! What a meat grinder of a time tho- take care of yourself.

[The Bug Chicks @TheBugChicks]

@lovettbr Nooooo!!! Been thinking of you and saw your posts. Goddamn this all sucks. Sending big “you’re amazing” vibes.

[The Bug Chicks @TheBugChicks]

@UntamedScience I know! we just couldn’t pull it off financially.

[The Bug Chicks @TheBugChicks]

@biologistimo Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable and brave enough to do so. It absolutely sucks in every way. Grief, for me, comes in sneaker waves. I try to float through it while breathing deeply, rather than fight the current.

[The Bug Chicks @TheBugChicks]

@GuloThoughts Here’s to a wonderful and healthy next semester (and life)! So glad you are doing better.

[The Bug Chicks @TheBugChicks]

@Afro_Herper This is so cool- been a dream of ours to do this for entomology and to see you MAKING IT HAPPEN?! Awesome.

@CaterinoLab @becksnyc2wv @f_ecominga They look so beautiful in this photo. Like why didn’t I do Berlese funnel lights in my backyard wedding??!

[The Bug Chicks @TheBugChicks]

[The Bug Chicks @TheBugChicks]

@BugQuestions GREAT thread. Gonna read the paper and *really* get into it when we talk about this with kids who are super interested in this kind of overlap. Thanks!

[The Bug Chicks @TheBugChicks]

Alternating between staring into space and doing 1000 tiny tasks on a to-do list.

And eating everything in sight.
