Seminar announcement or coloring page? Loving my labmate's ideas on larval coloration. #pluteus #schmooteus #almostaPhD

Looking for a postdoc (2.5yrs) to join my lab at the @calacademy! Come work with us on an exciting new #HopeForReefs project, leveraging genomics to study reef-wide patterns of scleractinian coral diversity. Please RT 🙏

@SapCaps @mtanichthys @tonygill3 Pretty sure the lab mate in question here is me 😂. It is a pain to run RNA on a gel and you won’t get anywhere near as detailed data back as with a Bioanalyzer. But it’s so much cheaper so it just depends on what your goal is.

@wareslab My (pessimistic) guess would be that they got forgotten during the shutdown. I turned in a project report at the beginning of the year that wasn’t reviewed until I emailed to ask about it months later.

[Frances Armstrong @armstrong_af]

@MorganWKelly @NSF As an @NSF funded post-doc, my department offered to loan me money until the shutdown is over if needed.

What a great opportunity to work with @RachaelABay! If you’re interested in a post-doc, she and the rest of the @ucdavis community are wonderful!

[Rachael Bay @RachaelABay]

Please RT! We have two postdoc positions for collaborative projects in my lab. One in ecological genomics of eelgrass and another in avian climate adaptation. @ucdavis

@TidepoolAnn @echinoblog It’s definitely from a Clypeaster species. I’d guess Clypeaster japonicus given the language of the original post.

Our sea biscuit transcriptomes are out! So glad to have this next chapter of my dissertation published. Thanks to @SapCaps and @BrendaCam7 for their help. https://t.co/dTuXOfHL32

@binkylarue @echinoblog Eluding* yes. I realized that mistake just barely too late. I’ll blame it on these specimens distracting me ;)

[Frances Armstrong @armstrong_af]

The ID of this seabiscuit has been alluding me for weeks. It’s simultaneously driving me crazy and opening my eyes to how complex taxonomy can be. #taxonomyappreciationday

[Frances Armstrong @armstrong_af]

@SapCaps That’s so short. What grant is that?

[Frances Armstrong @armstrong_af]

Great talk by @wormsrock and @CZakDerv on maternal and zygotic genetics of larval type. Hear more about maternal effects on larval type in my 2pm talk. #SICB2018

[Frances Armstrong @armstrong_af]

@plachetzki Wish you could have been there. But you can get the abbreviated version if you're headed to SICB.

@vsbuffalo @SFPublicLibrary I'm partial to the Bernal branch, but totally agree. Public libraries are a huge benefit to the whole community.

[Frances Armstrong @armstrong_af]

@SapCaps I'm afraid to ask, but why exactly is 'is the dead one buried' an option on here?

[Frances Armstrong @armstrong_af]

Thinking about writing is basically all I do, so hopefully my comittee will agree I'm almost done! https://t.co/AegiozA6HB

[Frances Armstrong @armstrong_af]

Im in the middle of my #DDIGstory but have already been able to collect samples from 3 continents, build collaborations, and broaden my PhD

Echinoderms crushing it! https://t.co/NIiolzoZjI

@krstnmlee @evolvingORs don't let the face fool you, Brendan was so into it.
