Calling all natural history/museum collections folxs The theme of the @systbiol.bsky.social breakout meeting in Baton Rouge is 'The Importance of Natural History Collections' The LSU Museum of Natural Science will host some events. Hope to see you there, Jan 9-11, 2026. ssb2026.github.io

🎉 Bootcamp Wrap-up! 🎉 We toured the Center for River Studies & learned the Mississippi river's vital role. Also, the LSU's Shared Instrument Facilities, discovering cutting-edge equipment. And participated in a panel on work-life balance. A huge THANK YOU to everyone! #RaMP #Postbacc #Science

Wrapping up the 3rd week of bootcamp 🥾. The scholars practiced hypothesis generation from observation. The rain did not stop these future scientists, who observed in detail the plants of animals of the Bluebonnet swamp. #Postbacc #RaMP #LearningIsFun #Nature

When did Reese's and Hershey's separate as a different "candy species"? 🍬➡️🍫 Recreating a candy phylogeny to learn basics of building a phylogenetic tree! Comparing traits among candies and trace thier "evolutionary history", is a sweet lesson. Thanks @tropicalbotany.bsky.social for setting up!

We ended our first week of Bootcamp with a fun activity, bowling! 🎳 We aim to bring the cohort close to each other with activities outside the classroom. Welcome cohort 2025-2026! @tropicalbotany.bsky.social @invertevoeco.bsky.social Zakiya Wilson-Kennedy #Postbacc #RaMP #Community

📣 The Mendes Lab is recruiting PhD students in statistical phylogenetics! Interested, or know someone who might be? Details here 👉 tinyurl.com/542wyfb9 — please share!

"Questioning is the way of learning," Encourage your children to ask questions, not to accept existing answers.

Meet Dr. Laura Lagomarsino, who fell in love with plants during childhood camping trips in California's redwood forests. Her passion for plant-pollinator relationships began with a magical moment watching hummingbirds visit curved flowers in Costa Rica's cloud forests. #Botany 🧪 wp.me/pdRZhH-m9q

We're excited to kick off another year of LAGNiAppE! 🎉 Welcome to our new cohort — we can't wait to see how they grow as researchers and individuals. Stay tuned as their journey unfolds! @tropicalbotany.bsky.social @invertevoeco.bsky.social @jembrown.bsky.social #postbacc #RaMP #training
