Read the thread for a lovely story of teens making a difference 🪲🦋🙂

I'm heading off to EntSoc and here's my take on navigating your first scientific conference. Hope to see lots of you there! scienceforeveryone.science/getting-the-... #EntSoc25 🧪

#Entsoc25 #EntoPOC

Hope to see you at #EntSoc25 ❤️🐞🌱

Bumping this up one last time. I'm looking to hire graduate student(s) to work on an NSF-funded project to study elevational range shifts among dragonflies here in Colorado. @cudenverclas.bsky.social 🧪🌍🐙 Applications will be considered until Nov 1. See post below for more details

Grossness is in the eye of the beholder🐞💀🐜👻🐛🎃🧪! The lab hosted a table on "Creepin' and Crawlin' Creatures" at the @museumoftherockies.bsky.social "Grossology" event last weekend #insects #bugsky #bug #inverts #scicomm

We are offering a 2-year postdoctoral position to join the @valor-project.eu Horizon EU project: Values and dependence of society on pollinators bartomeuslab.com/joining-the-...

"When someone attacks one party member, we all roll for initiative". As a DnD player and a concerned scientist, thanks @phytoseiid.bsky.social for the great piece in AE that made me weirdly emotional on an airplane.

The other animal feeds have thousands of likes, but the invertebrates feed only has around 600. Invertebrates are roughly 95% of all animal species on this planet, so they should have millions of likes to be properly proportionate to those other, less diverse animals. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Science didn't turn partisan! It's been politicized & partisanized by conservatives whose cruel, theocratic, destructive policies (banning books, forced birth, climate denialism, gender essentialism) are all directly contradicted by scientific evidence.

Malaise trapping with a view ⛰️👀. Intercepting flying insects in potato fields to better understand disease dynamics in our state. #entomology #fieldseason

Welcome! It’s Day 1 of #BlackBirdersWeek, “Flock to Freedom”. Introduce yourself & connect with other Black birders using #BlackInNature ✊🏽 #scicomm #blacksky #blackinnature #blackbirdersweek #blackbirder #ecojustice #conservationjustice #birding #nature #wildlife #birds

Maybe it's called a corpse flower because that's a dead ballerina stuffed in a bucket.

Back again for another great summer short course in chemical ecology this time in Jena, Germany! Hope to see folks there! events.gwdg.de/event/1003/

Time to throw up a bat signal for a specific skillset for @skypeascientist.bsky.social We have a classroom that is looking for a scientist who can do a session with them in ASL. Do we know any scientists who would be willing to do a Q&A with a deaf classroom in ASL?

"farmers are apoplectic. In Ohio, they’re stressed about USAID contracts and USDA cost-sharing investments. They held up their end. The government made promises. Now their family farms and livelihoods are on the line. Billions of dollars are at stake. It’s all being held hostage by Musk and Trump."

Old friend just laid off by USDA, 1 mos short of his probationary period as senior researcher. Brilliant person who left a tenured faculty position several yrs ago to join USDA. Bright early-career researchers also being laid off. USDA is terminating a generation of highly-qualified scientists.

I'm reviewing applications for our Science IRL grant. The application pool is stupendous with a lot of fantastic & frankly weird ideas for how to connect people w/critical science info. I want to be able to fund more than we currently can. Wanna throw a few bucks at the pool? givebutter.com/29Ow9Y

Post the amazing science things you have done with federal funding.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

Well, I might as well use this platform to share some of my teaching memes. I give you "Mate finding in Saturniidae".

Feast your eyes on Sparmannia flava. Maybe the greatest melolonthine of them all. That "winter" coat though... #AmazingBeetles #Coleoptera #Africa #Scarabaeidae #Winteriscoming

Deadline Extension!📢📢 Submit your abstract by December 2nd to be considered as a speaker in the GRS! The GRS/GRC is a fabulous way to make expand your network (interaction web ?🤔). Join the incredible scientists who have already submitted applications - see you in CA 🌱🐛!

Few things are more shameful than being employed in a Plant Sciences department and almost killing the pothos in your office 💀🌱

Always wonderful to be reunited with this Entomology dream team! This friend collab is about 10 years old now! @morrisonlabusda.bsky.social #EntSoc23

I know we don't have critical mass on here like we did at the Other Site, but would anybody be interested in a neurodiversity in entomology workshop and symposium at the next EntSoc meeting?

Who else is coming to #EntSoc2023 #EntSoc23? @entsocamerica.bsky.social Here is the list of talks from my lab!

PhD project available to work on spider eye development, evolution and vision with me @laurensr.bsky.social and @viveknityananda.bsky.social iapetus2.ac.uk/studentships... Please RP.

Hey there! I'm Jess😄. I am an insect ecologist fascinated by how abiotic and biotic stressors influence trophic interactions in agricultural systems. I love engaging students and the public in the wonderful world of bugs 🌱🐛🐞. Here for the science (and for the jokes, always).
