@KateTSnyder check out this #COVID #DataVisualization- https://t.co/3jaKUgMdaf
makes me think about your culture/ behavior modeling work!

In the past week I've seen a lot of tweets about how few POC there are in EEB (Ecology & Evolutionary Biology). Did you know we have a women of color in EEB Slack group?! It's a place for WOCinEEB to come together and lift each other up with positivity. Join the conversation/RT!

Best vacation experience so far- hiking with #rescuedogs in #runyoncanyon to help socialize and exercise them!!

We got to see our favorite liberal podcast hosts live last night at the #untrumpingamerica #booktour with the #podsaveamerica crew!!! They sounded just like they do over the airwaves! @ Wilshire Ebell Theatre https://t.co/bMe5qPUg65

Despite LA being a massive urban metro, they have some pretty awesome public parks and trails. So excited to explore them all!!

We are in LA but thankfully our house in East Nash was completely spared from the #nashvilletornado2020. Our #warren2020 sign is still standing. Grateful but keeping less lucky neighbors in our thoughts

I’m attending Warren for President’s event, “Nashville for Warren - January Monthly Meeting” – sign up now to join me! #WinWithWarren https://t.co/5NHbe6DbVf

Why am I surprised that the only two candidates that asked for forgiveness vs give a gift were the only two female candidates? #Vote2020 #DemocraticDebate #Warren2020

An amazing profile of my scientific grandma x2. 🤞🏽 the road improves for women in science #WomenInSTEM

[Stephanie Birnbaum @steph_birnbaum]

Middle school #Science #outreach events are the best. Students diagnosed a beetle disease outbreak to learn about #Parasite #Diversity & effects on hosts. Thanks to grad student Thi Ngo for co-leading & @adventuresci @Ann_T_Tate for the opportunity!

#Nashville friends! Join me at #Jackalope "The Ranch" for a #ScienceClub chat about why I love researching cool #insects! #ecology #evolution

[Stephanie Birnbaum @steph_birnbaum]

Insects feeding on toxic plants, that’s really neat!
How, and why, do they perform such a feat?!
Specially evolved, their food protecting them from ladybugs;
Just as cool, doctors use their plants as cardiac drugs!

Shocked to learn rich white people buy kids' way into Ivies by donating buildings - I mean by sending them to elite boarding schools - I mean by moving to rich white suburbs - I mean by hiring application consultants - I mean by bribing soccer coaches

[Stephanie Birnbaum @steph_birnbaum]

6 chapters (3 publ 2 in review/ prep) written, reinvigorated about science, ready for a week of vacation, and then DEFENSE on Mar. 26. Can’t believe I’m here and so thankful for those who have kept me inspired #GRC19PHI #almostPhinisheD

[Kate Snyder, PhD @KateTSnyder]

My and @CreanzaLab’s paper on the evolution of songbird mating systems and birdsong is out today in @NatureComms! I’m pretty proud of this work - my first pub in grad school! ☺️ https://t.co/r0R2QovtfE
