(1/2) I recently started a fellowship with the @smithsonian @NMNH! I'm working with @PNGmoths and @BE_bilingue on a #DNAbarcoding project of moths from #PuertoRico. 🦋🧬🇵🇷

For those asking what they can do to support the victims of harassment at STRI, here are a few specific actions that will help survivors:
#MeToo

[Sarah Batterman @SABatterman]

The ideas of women scientists are just as critical and groundbreaking as those of male scientists. It’s time @smithsonian and @stri_panama recognize this by ending its culture of discrimination against women. #GenderEquity #YesAllWomen #BelieveSurvivors https://t.co/Y37gzete0M

[Rubenstein School @UVM_RSENR]

The Vermont Climate Assessment take a comprehensive look at #climatechange impacts in #VT. An effort by @UVM_RSENR, @GundInstitute, @UVMCALS, @UVMcas, @TNCvermont, & many partners - it shows sobering realities & mitigation opportunities. #UVMResearch https://t.co/W42aqCsU2v

writing a personal statement for the first time in awhile has reunited me with my old friend, thesaurus dot com

Here is a cheat sheet I just finished on the most common functions of R (for ecology). ↓

i.e., 80% of everything you will ever do in R (on TWO pages) 🙌🌱

It's that time if year again! Our FS Pathways Interns Drew Pardi & Hannah Raile are putting EAB eggs onto seedling progeny of "lingering ash" parents so we can select the most resistant trees for seed orchard development!

[Jarlath O'Neil-Dunne @jarlathond]

Gypsy moths continue to devastate #VT forests. Here is the first comparison captured by our #UVM #drone team. @UVM_RSENR @UVMExtension

[Lisi Lohre @LisiLohre42]

The "researcher" mentioned in this tweet is my amazing friend and grad school colleague, @AristiNati!! Thanks for sharing your experiences and fighting to make grad school more accessible, welcoming, and supportive for all, regardless of their background ❤️

[Jennifer Koch @treebreederKoch]

EAB-resistant green ash female flowers. Receptive stamens are typically curled outward, but to be sure before pollination, we use a hydrogen peroxide solution to detect stigma surface peroxidases. The oxygen bubbles being released are shown in the top photo.

@BeesYall Congrats Kate!!! Now to go celebrate (with more Dolly I hope)!

[Kate LeCroy, PhD (she/her) @BeesYall]

I hired a Dolly Parton impersonator to kick off my virtual PhD defense, 10/10 would recommend 💖 (my advisor laughed til he cried) #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #phdlife #DollyParton

[Massive Science @massivesci]

Most bees are solitary, not social. But don't worry, @hanusiahiggins is happy to give us an introduction to one, the mason bee!

[Aimée Classen @aimeeclassen]

The joy you get when watching a studnet just kill their undergraduate honors thesis defense is priceless. @OliviaVought just nailed it. @UVM_RSENR @ecadair @uvmvermont

[Hanusia Higgins @hanusiahiggins]

@AristiNati So awesome and well deserved! Congratulations!

[Elizabeth Jamison @ejjamis]

Trees will literally grow hundreds of four inch long thorns instead of going to therapy. #honeylocust

@ejjamis 😂 call them out EJ!

@KennaRewcastle @massivesci @BeesYall Thanks, Kenna!!

[Hanusia Higgins @hanusiahiggins]

I recently published my first article in @massivesci! Thanks @BeesYall for talking to me about native mason bees and why we should care about their decline. https://t.co/Zq3i95FWix
