I always have this book within reach when writing! You wouldn't think reading about writing would keep your attention, but this guide is beyond helpful and very clearly simplifies scientific writing. 10/10 recommend!

She's perfect and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise 🥹

Holy mussels!! Grubbing at an oil spill site and surveying buckets of mapleleaf mussels!

This is great to keep in mind! I also try to remember the objectives of the project and if my comments/edits are aligned with those or just me adding my personal preferences.

New preprint out from the lab, including @rroyaute.bsky.social: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... In this we test what we refer to as the "standard model" of behavioral variation. This was inspired by recent work identifying intra-genotypic variation as a major contributor to "individuality". 1/

Week 2 of #SparkBYN was another great podcast on mentoring!! - good relationships shouldn't feel forced - one person can't be a mentor for everything (different stages require different mentors) - being a good mentor doesn't always mean having a solution - being an active listener is key!

There are vlog/videos for everything these days...but, I don't see enough of birding videos...so, I think it is the right time to make a YouTube channel dedicated to just birding. Join me in my adventures of birding by subscribing to my YouTube channel www.youtube.com/@birdguyanuj

I am making a Starter Pack for people who are looking for PHD STUDENT POSITIONS in the biological sciences! If you wish to be added, please respond directly to this post saying you want to be added. I need at least 5 people to create the pack. Please share widely!

The first installment of Building Your Network! It's not too late to sign up: go.ncsu.edu/summerspark In academia, is actively seeking mentorship & sponsorship seen as a sign of strength, or does it risk undermining perceptions of independence? 🤔 Share your take! #HigherEd #FacultyLife #SparkBYN

I'm not a bug person...BUT I saw some green June beetles mating and that was super cool!!

I recently finished my first year in the HLA. It's been an amazing learning experience and wonderful community! I'm happy to answer questions 😊

With your silence as much as with your volume, you show me you are more with him than you are against him, that you are more like him than different from him, and that you and I are increasingly morally incompatible. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/i-dont-gri...

I remember being anxious as a junior scientist trying to introduce myself to senior people at meetings. Now I'm one of the senior people, I guess. Consider this your invitation to come introduce yourself if we haven't met. #Evol2025

Please repost if you would.

It's been hard for early career biologists looking for postdocs, so I created a Google Sheet where we can all compile fellowships/job boards/postdoc opportunities in one place. PLEASE SHARE WIDELY! If you're a PI looking for postdocs, you can add to the 4th tab! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

We will forever feel the healing pull of the mountains💙 We didn't get McAfee's views, but we enjoyed the adventure, nonetheless!

Hey friends! I'm on the job market for a postdoc or TT position in aquatic ecotox. I love sediments, microbes, and plants, and am passionate about fostering joy and confidence in young scientists! Feel free to share or message me. I'd love to connect with like-minded folks 😊

Have to remind myself every single day at the moment that the world is full of decent people. Keep on shining bright folks.

@freshwaterscience.bsky.social never disappoints! Location, people, research... amazing!! Thank you to all committees, sponsors, volunteers, etc. for another great SFS.

Always one of my favorite reunions!
