I study spiders and I've finished my PhD

[Dr Holly Vickery @SkylarkHolly]

For me friendships are confusing and hard and often just very sad. And I’m never sure if it’s just me, often asking myself what I’m doing wrong. I see others on holiday together, having weddings & baby showers, and I don’t even know who I’d have to invite. I have maybe 2 friends

@Bee_Bytes @IUPUI Congrats Meghan, well deserved! 🥳

[Jay Stafstrom @JayStafstrom]

Buckle up, fellow spider nerds. https://t.co/CAvjQHM4ec isn't messing around.
Combining the spider emoji with cat/dog/bear gives you something predictably cute. But spider + wolf emoji?
YOU GET A MORPHOLOGICALLY ACCURATE LYCOSID.

@LCAulsebrook @BBM_Wong @mattd_hall Congratulations! 🥳🥳🥳

If you analyse animal movements, my R package trajr might be useful to you @wileyinresearch #trajectory #trajr https://t.co/eTPJQU5Qhk

@erincpow @apsciencebydan @LitThom @arachno_joe Yep, adult female Hortophora transmarina! They're very pretty spiders, and they come in a variety of colours and patterns.

The Golden Stag Beetle (Lamprima aurata) has 'structural colours' which are microscopic structures on the surface of the beetle's carapace that reflect & refract light, 🔬 giving it an iridescent appearance. ✨💜💙💚💛

Our new paper is out in @J_Exp_Biol! This project is the culmination of many years research into the jumping spider response to tephritid wing displays https://t.co/PAXQzXCnmB

This Abandoned Web Orb-weaver (Parawixia dehaani) was so enormous I had to show you but then she was like no I am dead 💀

I see that predatory publishers — such as Herald Scholarly Open Access — are still publishing bogus articles submitted to test their peer review process: https://t.co/iTjwKaS0Pe

Today I am coming out of hiding and sharing my experience as a senior academic living with anxiety. People assume confident or supposedly "successful" people can't suffer from anxiety, but this is an invisible curse...

Twins! Second #PhD paper is out! 💖🎉

In my head it is titled: There and back again... My adventures alongside the spectrometer

Writing this one really changed me ☺️. I hope is useful for other #colsci researchers in ecology.

A spider, drawn using some of the amino acids found in their silk.

A bit niche, I know! This one took ~20 hours. Prints are available on my Etsy store now 🕷🍁🌹🐝🍊

Thanks to @compoundchem and @sciencefocus for the science 🧬
