Wrapping up intro biology lab research presentations in style. Hand knitted and designed- every major phyla covered in the class ... and a few prokaryotes and viruses because the microbiologist in my department insisted 😊 I'm sure @markowenmartin would approve of the decision

I want to speak to faculty who feel hurt, blindsided, and angry about the #FairUCNow strike. Faculty are most immediately hurt by these strikes, and it can feel unfair especially for those who have spent their career trying to make grad ed better.

"A survey by Accenture and Girls Who Code found that half of the women in tech roles leave their jobs by the time they’re 35, with 37%—the largest percentage—citing “noninclusive company culture” as their main reason for quitting."

Why would a predator risk tapping its dangerous prey before attacking? Fernando Soley and I had so much fun figuring this out. @AlbanyBiology @BiolJLinnSoc

For those of us who do international fieldwork in remote places with no physical toilets and/or different social norms around menstruation, this situation gets real terrifying real fast. I cannot properly express to you the isolation and anxiety this has caused. A thread. 1/9
#Normalizeperiods. My door is always open to anyone who wants to discuss!

In Day 2 of Little Entomologist Summer Camp, our campers are learning about insect stages, predator-prey interactions and searching for insect habitats. Also, INSECT COLLECTING! No kiddos were harmed in the intense pursuit of insects. #scicomm #entomology #STEM
