nat science museums

I would like to share my passion for Natural Science / History museums with you and will talk about science and/or insects as well. I study braconid wasps.

Check this out: an online exhibition about #bees !

[Paleontological Research Institution @PRInstitution]

We are very excited to share that our "Bees! Diversity, Evolution, Conservation" special exhibit may now be explored online:

The online #bees exhibit is a great way to learn more about these amazing and important insects. #MuseumFromHome #MuseumAtHome

Well done evolution! Took me a while to figure out what was wrong.

[SYNTHESYS @SynthesysEU]

#MondayMotivation do you love collections based research? So do we - apply for a SYNTHESYS+ Transnational Access grant & explore collections at any one of our 21 partner institutions. We want to see your ideas & science. Deadline: 26 March.

@AshWhiffin @isabetabug @SciBugs Yes, a pest in stored food. Check flour, oats, cereals, and rice. Throw away anything with even the slightest "web". Freezing helps too, but I wouldn't want to eat that...

Today is the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere & the first day of winter! What causes our planet’s shift in seasons? Its tilt. Today, Earth’s Northern Hemisphere is at its most-tilted away from the Sun. [📸: Jon Bunting]

I'm looking for grad students for fall 2020 @WSUEntomology!

We’ll study evolutionary patterns in Hymenoptera using field & museum research, molecular lab tools, and bioinformatics.

---> @GradSchoolWSU priority app deadline not until January!

Strashila incredibilis - a strange Jurassic insect. Long assumed to be an early flea, parasitising pterosaurs or feathered dinosaurs. Now thought to be a fly, the aquatic or amphibious adults shedding their wings after emergence and mating in the water #insectoftheday

Do you want to become a museum's director and run your own (#natural #history) #museum? Look for this game coming up in spring 2020. It is similar to the sims. https://t.co/rr1DpeMLPt

Work dresscode problems men do not have. They are restricted to colourful ties, right? Women, go bold colours! https://t.co/xlfRctZ0zp

[Tierney Brosius, PhD @TBrosuis]

I love wearing clothing featuring insects. I like to think that it helps advocate Entomology and raise awareness of how awesome insects are. Great article @synapse101 @entofashion #entofashion

[Teylers Museum @TEYLERS]

If the weather is good enough it is a good time to look for acorns and chestnuts in the forest. But of course you can also visit the museum!

It would take about 1.1 million mosquitos to completely drain a human of blood.

[Dr. Anna Wallingford @Wallingbug]

My department is hiring! I know it's selfish, but I sure would like another entomologist to collab with :)

Rhino horns, replicas, and robberies. What a museum displaying horn can and should do, to protect their "stuffed animals" and the horn https://t.co/ZaVZRGf4eu

Parasitoids are a spiders greatest foe but before we all curse the wasp we must look at the bigger picture. Spiders consume at least 400 million tons of invert prey a year and without wasps this number would rise exponentially thus collapsing the ecological brick wall. #Educate

Nice think about the #WET : one gets a night in the #museum (or at least a few hours) after hours. #aquazoo

I am off to the Westdeutscher #Entomologentag in #Düsseldorf, where I will be presenting the preliminary results of this #survey https://t.co/634VzG4YpR (German). Feel free to participate and/or share! #WET

[Adrian Smith @DrAdrianSmith]

What if #SciComm from a scientist wasn't just about research results? What if it was about sharing the first part of the scientific process?
