Something magical was afoot @BiologyUnb this afternoon. @EmHasMayflyCAD used a transfiguration spell to change #HaroldTheCow into our very own Dr. Alexa Alexander-Trusiak!!! 🐄👀💫👩‍🔬

(But can she change him back? Find out next week!)

#HappyHalloween! 🧙‍♀️🧹#Biology🦇 #SciComm 🎃

It's a #mayfly moment. @thislabmayfly @MayflyCatherine #tattoo #scitwitter

Beautiful footage! Nature never ceases to amaze me. #MayflyMonday

After a week of live-tweeting #EcoEvoEnto2019, #MayflyMonday is BACK!

This video from #BBCEarth illustrates the vital place that mayflies hold in the food web, and includes some gorgeous shots of mayflies emerging from the water.

Happy Friday! #mayfly #scitwitter

And finally, to all the #EcoEvoEnto2019 attendees- there is a common quote about science: we’re all smart, distinguish yourself by being kind. Thank you making #EcoEvoEnto2019 a place where we are all distinguished by kindness.

[Julia @mayfly_gal]

Taking a much needed break between poster sessions. As an #introvert conferences can be overwhelming. Luckily there is a beautiful trail system in Fredericton to find some serenity. @CSEE_Meetings #EcoEvoEnto2019

[ThisLabMayfly @thislabmayfly]

We caught up with our own @mayfly_gal at poster presentations: pictures ensued. #EcoEvoEnto2019 @CSEE_Meetings @CSEE_SCEE

When you're an entomologist people bring you cool stuff for identification and advice. Today: from somebody's bag of grapes, a lovely black widow, Latrodectus sp. (right, @Cataranea?)

(Yes, my photo-photo-through-salsa-jar skills could use work.)

[Julia @mayfly_gal]

@StephenBHeard Thank you! I heard you were tied up 🕷️

I am officially a MASTER OF SCIENCE!! #MSc #gradschool #scitwitter #WomenInSTEM

[Julia @mayfly_gal]

This course was my first introduction to fieldwork! It's safe to say I was hooked. #FieldworkFriday

[ThisLabMayfly @thislabmayfly]

This week's #FieldworkFriday is from the fall of 2011, when Alexa was teaching Biology 2105 students how to measure stream width & flow. If the face to the right looks familiar, that's because it is our very own @mayfly_gal, who was an undergrad at the time!

[ThisLabMayfly @thislabmayfly]

We promised something exciting for today, and we're gonna deliver: our very own Dr. Alexa Alexander-Trusiak was featured in a #BBC interview by @ljevanso as an expert on the ecological impact of multiple stressors!

I defend my thesis in ONE WEEK. #gradschool #gradstudentlife

Today's #SecretLifeOfScience is from @mayfly_gal. Julia received a similar piece of advice to what we have below, found this paraphrase online, and saved it for motivation!

I'm thinking I should add a mayfly to my tattoo collection 💭 #MayflyMonday #tattoos
