#ISTA10 comes to an end... Thank you all for coming and putting your heart and soul in your research.
We'll watch out for all of your publications and results!
We hope to see you soon, and hopefully with those who couldn't be here.
Thanks again to our sponsors and the @RJBOTANICO

And congratulations to Louis Beyens for the Eugène Penard Lifetime achievement award! Louis is known for his inspiring pioneer work on testate amoeba palaeoecology and numerous ecological and palaeoecological studies in the Arctic & Antarctic, including manipulative experiments🏆

Congrats Cassie!

An intensive three-week field course in #wetland #ecology comes to an end today at @PittPymLab. It has been a joy leading these students on their wetland journey. #PLE #teaching https://t.co/O9ym5349N6

@cassie_olmsted @skunkcabbages @TaylorZallek I went and checked it out today!

I'm very happy to announce that I've just been promoted to Full Professor @UofT! Could not have done it without my brilliant mentors and the amazing women who blazed the trail! #mentorship #WomenInSTEM #lastHurdle

We talked about the story of the passenger pigeon. Then he improvised this song as a tribute to them. We made this video together, because he wanted to educate others. His sadness was profound. Such compassion. Such beauty. #extinction #piano #martha https://t.co/0XQ1pFkYvw

@SarahFinkelste5 @UofTEarthSci She did a fantastic job! And it is a very impressive thesis. Thanks for having me take part.

Slide I'm including in Thursday's @INQUA talk showing the current status of the @neotomadb testate amoeba surface-sample dataset. Lots more samples to add this summer, but this represents an impressive amount of work by a lot people.

[Bob Booth @StatelyTrees]

Interested in forests, peatlands, testate amoebae, and paleoecology? I'll be using the growing testate amoeba dataset in @neotomadb to inform interpretations of past vegetation change on Thursday in the virtual INQUA SACCOM seminar series. https://t.co/MIOeMyGdK6

He starts out quietly but then seems to be joyously celebrating my early bedtime? #piano #composer

[Bruce Booth @LifeSciVC]

My 9-yr old nephew is crazy inspirational on the piano... if you have a few minutes & want an uplifting composition, here’s one he wrote and played, apparently about his Dad going to bed too early (I can relate)... and this kid has never had lessons!

My brother shared my son's latest piano composition, so I'll share it here as well. Eyler started teaching himself the piano in Dec 2019, and by June was starting to compose his own songs. Over the last few months his compositions have just exploded. The kid is nine. #piano

[Bruce Booth @LifeSciVC]

Brief music video to brighten your Friday: My 9-yr old nephew has never had piano lessons, but has a great ear for pitch, tone, & chords. He's taught himself how to play & somehow composes his own music. Here's him playing one of his recent pieces #Piano

Slow and steady additions to the testate amoeba surface-sample database at Neotoma. An amazing amount contributed by Richard Payne @peatniks. He is deeply missed and made a significant contribution to our understanding of testate ecology and paleoecology, among other things.
