Unusual request. If anyone in the DC area is willing to let a student use a very fine scale to weigh some parasitic insects (Strepsiptera) please me know. The weight should be in the range of 0.0006–0.001 g and he has collected some in the DC area and would like to get them weighed very soon.

FUNGUS IN SPACE!!! 🍄🚀

Equal parts cosmic horror and nature being metal, let's talk about the lichen that grew on the OUTSIDE of the International Space Station!

Get your tea and curl up, because I PROMISE you wanna hear about these fungal cosmonauts 🧑‍🚀

@JPAdotcom Camden yards is a good one

We're finally starting to see sun in San Diego, but what caused our long spell of #MayGray & #JuneGloom? Scripps Oceanography atmospheric scientist Rachel Clemesha shares more about the science behind the gloomy weather & collaborating w/ @NWS to understand the phenomenon. ⬇️

@RaskoDavid @UMBaltimore @jimkaper1 Wait, what is happening?

[Taylor Richter @stratton_taylor]

@rmbundy Congratulations!

[Taylor Richter @stratton_taylor]

It's a continuation of the project reported here, if you want to follow along: https://t.co/2qaoxfN5aT

A cool new paper from an FDA and USDA collaboration. I got to be a small part of the project, so it's exciting getting to see it make it out to the public.

@ryanbeckwith @abbyhiggins @racheleklein I similarly mixed up "lawyer" and "meatball" in Spanish and feared being in legal trouble in Mexico and people just bringing me meatballs.

@smith8272 Good for Scripps for actually asking the question and trying to address the problem. Hopefully other institutions will follow suit. Figure 4 does have me curious who it is that has 12000 sq ft of space, though

@JulieTheBatgirl Hi! I'm a Biologist at the US FDA doing food safety microbiology. I use metagenomics to study environmental microbiology in produce growing areas. My work is mostly doing research and the institutional support makes for good work/life balance.

[Taylor Richter @stratton_taylor]

@smith8272 Happy New Year Sarah!I hope this year turns out to be a great one for you! Miss you!

@fklein907 My little one was 3 when my mom died, and there are a ton of great suggestions already, but I'll just add that at that age, any conversation is really probably a series of small conversation over the course of weeks/months. Good luck!

@DrAndrewThaler @MiriamGoldste That is the most accurate description of Maryland drivers I have seen

[Taylor Richter @stratton_taylor]

@MarineMicroGirl @NHM_London @helena_wiklund Congrats! That is very cool!

[Taylor Richter @stratton_taylor]

@PlasticsJenni An awesome thread! Thanks Jenni! For people hoping to make the jump, do you have a favorite resource for finding jobs in the environmental/climate philanthropy field?

[Taylor Richter @stratton_taylor]

Amazing postdoc alert!

[Johanna Holm @symbiologyst]

Come work with me! At the Institute for Genome Sciences in Baltimore, MD. Postdoc needed to study vaginal microbiomes and genital health outcomes. https://t.co/60hobWSMFR

@DaveExplainsWhy @RhondaD23606453 @KenCox @January6thCmte The rules are different in DC, where president is in charge of the national guard, there is no local or congressional authority who can deploy or refuse deployment of the DCNG https://t.co/o24aOuPRpw

@BennyHootss @MatthewCappucci This website gives good summaries of how climate science debunks some common myths regarding climate change, including some on comparisons to past climate change and natural cycles in Earth's climate history. https://t.co/xUUTtwf93I
