It really is time to say goodbye to Twitter (X). It is going to be tough to start over again but I hope you will join me where the skies are blue: [at]https://t.co/gBRkh44TtW #byebyeelon

[Neeta Pardanani Connally @ticklab]

Was hoping to get off of Twitter (X). If you’re on BlueSky will you follow me? [at]https://t.co/gBRkh44TtW. Meanwhile, are folks planning to still use X during #EntSoc24 this week? I want to leave but am also nervous to cut this cord! @EntsocAmerica

Well it finally happened…we ran out of unique colors for our #tick mark-recapture work. TBH we didn’t expect I scap nymphs to live this long in mowed lawns. Week 8! 😳

Anyone using a phone microscope attachment to view arthropods on the field? Looking for inexpensive options.

[Western Connecticut State University @WestConn]

Our Tickborne Disease Prevention Laboratory is looking for local properties to survey for tick research. Learn how you can participate. @ticklab

@SaraGandy38 @UofG_SBOHVM Looks like the most lovely location for sampling!

[CT Emerging Infections Program at YaleSPH @YaleEIP]

Get to know the @YaleEIP one project at a time. This month the Tickborne Diseases Network (TickNET) - part 2! https://t.co/jHJNmOH1Nc @YaleEMD @CTDPH @ticklab

#FranTick doesn’t get out much, mostly because she is HUGE and has limited peripheral vision (and ahem, we have research to do). But I kinda keep hoping someone will double-dog dare me to take her to a conference full of #tick nerds who might appreciate how truly great she is!

[Neeta Pardanani Connally @ticklab]

So, like, I don’t disagree with this advice I guess… but it’s not exactly a fortune.

[Neeta Pardanani Connally @ticklab]

@mrtruo Indeed! I read that VA has the highest number of vanity plates. CT is also in the top ten. Maybe it's a function of the cost for vanity plates in these states? Or maybe we are all just extra vain up here in CT!

[Neeta Pardanani Connally @ticklab]

Not sure who you are, but can we be friends? #ticks #vanityplate #Virginia

[Southeastern Center of Excellence in VBD @secvbd]

AMAZING work being done by SECVBD collaborators at the UF/IFAS PIE Center!

[Neeta Pardanani Connally @ticklab]

Great swag at today’s VBD symposium @CT_CAES!

That time on Royal Pains (Netflix) when suddenly the doc pulled a blacklegged #tick out of a guy’s ear, saving the patient’s future football career! 🤪
