Oh @Poshmarkapp why are you doing me wrong? You took $2800+ from my bank account for an unauthorized payment and then told me there is nothing you can do? This is how you treat loyal customers?

Scientists! We have two open faculty positions in our WCSU Biology dept, one for a biologist using bioinformatics and the other for a climate scientist: https://t.co/ZvnYv5R8Ki #biology #faculty #pui #CT #academia #climate #careers

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]
