It took me SEVEN years to figure out that you can save a ggplot as a vectorized .svg file ggsave("file.svg"). The svg file can be opened on powerpoint and it will be completely vectorized, even text are still recognized as text boxes! No more recreating plots on illustrator!!!!!

Identifying #bees is now easier! 🐝

#DNAbarcodes are short sequences of genetic material that allow us to distinguish #species. An international team has now revealed the DNA barcodes of Iberian bees, an essential monitoring tool.👏

Have you ever cancelled your fieldwork because your menstrual pain was so strong that you could not even move?

I have and believe that it's good to start talking about #menstruation and fieldwork without taboos. A very good initiative from @_AEET_ and @MujerPiesTierra. #11F

Them: how’s the writing?

Me: all on track thanks!

The track:

[Max Farnworth @max_farnworth]

They kindly host not only our primary data, but also a fully interactable mode of it, too. See here for data and play around! https://t.co/55SvDeRDpD and see here for all those larval tracts - clickable and all!! https://t.co/hXF0CzNR0S 4/9

How hard is it to do science in a language that’s not your first language? We quantified the severity of #languagebarriers for non-native English speakers when reading/publishing papers and attending/presenting at international conferences.

Natural science PhD students in Germany: Vote!
A law is proposed that would restrict postdoc time to 4 years. Thereafter you either get a tenure track position or you are out. What does that to you?

The diversity of botanical collections is higher in countries that have formerly held colonizing power and lower in countries that were formerly colonized, but the opposite pattern is seen in natural environments, according to a paper in @NatureHumBehav. https://t.co/WSyDvhYdgy

[Thies H. Büscher @h_buscher]

Leaf #insects are fascinating, but pretty uniform. Their eggs are remarkable in regard to their morphological diversity. Happy to spread the news our manuscript investigating the #evolution and functional #morphology of these eggs has been published today. https://t.co/5CwcXXjCmc

For non-scientists: A fun part of writing papers is that I don’t make anything to write or review papers. Journal gets my labor for free or better yet I pay them extra for open access. I wonder why fewer PhDs want to be academics?

[Michael Orr @mc_orr]

It takes bravery for James and others to call out powerful, problematic scientists. Thanks for sharing your story. I hope it will help people avoid toxic lab environments. And hopefully it can chip away at some of these dodgy power structures in academia.

¡Por fin una Guía de campo de las hormigas de le península Ibérica y Baleares! Gracias a Fede García y Javi Arcos tendremos 500 páginas con descripciones, fotografías y claves de identificación de más de 300 especies. Pronto será la campaña de preventa (crowfunding).

[Dinagapostemon (Quintos) 🐝 @Dinagapostemon]

Tenía mucho tiempo sin hacer trabajo de campo y apenas ayer pude volver a explorar un poco
En el camino me encontré con este nido de Trigona fulviventris. Algo particular con Trigona es que anidan en el suelo y no en grietas o árboles como la mayoría de los Meliponini.

🚨 Not only #insects 🐝 but even #Taxonomists 👩‍🔬 are in danger!⚠️
According to the first-ever study that applies the @IUCNRedList 🔴 methodology to #scientists, 40% of the insect's orders lack expertise!
