bye bye twitter 😖

our new genome paper on the (weird) tuliptree scale is now out in g3! i've never worked on an insect with an alternative sex determ. system before my time in the Mongue lab, but needless 2 say... i will always be impressed and horrified of what bugs can do https://t.co/nBTHNwS4Jv

i really miss being part of a union, and will always admire how much cool stuff @uf_gau continues to do everyday for grad students at uf. with love, and solidarity always ❣️so proud of all of the momentous wins that y’all have secured this past 2 years!!

[UF Graduate Assistants United @uf_gau]

WATCH: UF's bargaining team finally says they don't expect our minimum stipend to cover all of our living expenses, suggesting taking out loans and finding scholarships so that we can afford to work for them.

So so proud of my REU students for how hard they've worked this summer studying Arctic stonefly population genetics and how they may respond to warming temperatures! Thank you to @Toolik's TUNDRA Award for providing funding to collect Alaskan stoneflies used in this project! ✨

@ArthropodAbbey happy bday and huge congrats!! woo!!! 🐛🎈

En route to Montréal for #Evol2024!

Excited to share my work on the evolution and development of turtle ant polymorphisms this Monday at 9:30am during Phenotypic Plasticity I, in room 519AB 🐜🧬

[Amanda Markee @kkbugtime]

new luna moth genome just dropped!! happy to share that the second chapter of my masters thesis is now published in @GenomeBiolEvol. thank you to my @FloridaMuseum collaborators and silk community for helping me get this manuscript to the finish line! https://t.co/Ac9Xu98YAs

[Amanda Markee @kkbugtime]

today the Ware Lab left no stone unturned.. literally 🫣

[paul frandsen @paulbfrandsen]

Our work on caddisfly phylogenetics is out today in @RSocPublishing Proc B! I started this work as a wee PhD student, and I am really pleased to have it out. Thank you to all of my co-authors who were so patient and helpful.

[American Museum of Natural History @AMNH]

Museums are for everyone! Members of AMNH PRIDE, a resource group for LGBTQ+ individuals and allies within the Museum community, are participating in the NYC Pride March today! Happy Pride to all.

[paul frandsen @paulbfrandsen]

A quick share of our new preprint on the phylogeny of caddisflies before I tune out for the holidays. I’ve worked on this off and on for the last decade so I’m excited for it to finally see the light of day as a preprint! https://t.co/JxjF8rwaVK

[Dr. Ivan Magalhaes 🕷️ @6eyes8legs]

I just found out (through a desk-reject) that Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution no longer considers most papers based on Sanger sequences (only genomic datasets). It is quite ironic that countries that hold most of the biodiversity will be unable to publish in this journal...

Tonight at #Hymathon2023 I'm defending the honor of Apoid wasps at the newly minted Hymenoptera Showdown! I know best is subjective, but we are talking Apoid wasps here...

Many thanks to the organizers! And to the amazing photos from iNat, only those with * are my own
