Hello hello fellow Texans, bug lovers, and community scientists! Can you help us find this weevil Anthonomous texanus that might occur in West Texas? We're trying to help a researcher get genetic samples from our area. Post your weevil pics to @inaturalist ! #entomology

We are hiring a postdoc to work on our NSF-funded project on suboscine bird diversification! Rough goal is to build phylogenies from massive dataset (data are incoming!) and analyze diversification. Posting: https://t.co/umDPpTdA0w

Talk about interdisciplinary #ArtAndScience collabs coming together between Biology, Zooarcheology and Metals Art!

[UTEP Biodiversity Collections @utepbc]

Thank you so so much @GillianLWong and Metals Professor Jessica Tolbert for helping us subsample these archeological chicken bones for researchers. We learned so much about #zooarcheology, metals art and this amazing technique with the coping saw to cut bones! #ArtAndScience

Snakes are awesome. And so are natural history museums, since this kind of science wouldn't be possible without them.

[Eli Greenbaum @EliGreenbaumPhD]

Congratulations to Master's student Tes Chaney for this outstanding paper, including the description of a new species of Grayia #snake from #DRCongo
