Yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting the Cornell University Plant Pathology Herbarium (CUP) for their Open House at the Mushroom Museum! @cornellcals.bsky.social #CollectionsAreEssential

I’m stuck in bed between chemo treatments for metastatic coloncancer, wearing a take-home chemo pump attached to my chest. I wanted to share my advice that you can benefit from ‘Letting Your Colleagues In’ don’t need to struggle alone @insidehighered.com www.insidehighered.com/opinion/care...

What can we learn from Natural History Museums? @corriemoreau.bsky.social gives some examples! #evolution #scicomm #museums @ncse.bsky.social

It was great to host you Corrie and we had a full house in the audience for your fascinating talk

What a day of turtle/tortoise insects!! 🐜🪲 So good to catch up! Next time with @chemistophe.bsky.social?

It was such a treat to see you again @CorrieMoreau.bsky.social!! We’re still buzzing after a stellar seminar 🌟 turtle ants are amazing!

Had a fantastic visit to the ‪Max Planck Institute for Biology Tübingen @maxplanckcampus.bsky.social Super thanks to @hassansalem.bsky.social and @berasymbionts.bsky.social for hosting me and showing me the town! Fun to talk symbiosis science with such superstars 🤩

UPDATE: The 2025-2026 list of faculty and postdoc positions in ecology and evolutionary biology is out! Be sure to check out this active and helpful community run resources! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

So excited that @corriemoreau.bsky.social will be giving a tangled banks seminar at NHMO today!! www.nhm.uio.no/english/rese... join us (also on zoom!)

If you are in Oslo join us tomorrow!

Museums aren’t just collections — they’re classrooms. 🦋🏛️ @corriemoreau.bsky.social's #Scopes100 talk shows how exhibits make #evolution accessible & engaging. https://loom.ly/vFnwcRo#Scopes100#evolution @ncse.bsky.social

Teaching #evolution takes courage, creativity, and conviction. Hear from Gale Sinatra, @corriemoreau.bsky.social & Wesley Roberts at the #ScopesSymposium. #Scopes100 @ncse.bsky.social Full talks here: https://loom.ly/4IBdeAk#evolution#ScopesSymposium

Welcome to the Kristine Bonnevie lectures – Tuesday 2 September, with Corrie S. Moreau and Torsten H. Struck. On biodiversity from ants to ocean life, and how taxonomy helps us understand ecology and evolution. Venue: Helga Engs hus, Blindern, Oslo @corriemoreau.bsky.social @biovitenskap.bsky.social

When Marcia McNutt's term ends next year, @neilshubin.bsky.social will take the reins at NAS to lead the organization through what may continue to be a fraught landscape for government-funded science. Quick story w/ Jeff Tollefson: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

ICYMI: The @entsocamerica.bsky.social Insect #Biodiversity Task Force published a glossary of #InsectDecline terms, including #DarkTaxa! @arachnologynerd.bsky.social @kefisher.bsky.social @dr-akito.bsky.social @corriemoreau.bsky.social @jessicalwarelab.bsky.social doi.org/10.1093/jise...

Fantastic talks at #ScopesSymposium including by Sean Carroll, Paul Turner, Marlene Zuk, Jonathan Losos, Amanda Townley, & more. Can’t wait to share the importance of museum exhibits to teach evolution next @evolutionvu.bsky.social

Long layover so watching spotted lanternflies at the Washington Dulles airport #entomology #InvasiveSpecies

Freshwater insects are in decline, please complete our survey if you fish in freshwater!

I appreciated the message about the importance of science communication outweighing self doubt about accuracy and knit picky peers!

Want to watch my Presidential Address from #Evol2025 where I share who I have learned from, how I hope to pay it forward, what I have learned from studying ants, and how it is all of our responsibility to create equitable and just futures for everyone? Watch here: www.youtube.com/live/vkBD3fg...

Did you miss this talk? It’s now archived to the @evolmtg.bsky.social YouTube channel www.youtube.com/live/vkBD3fg... #evol2025

amazing talk by SSB prez Corrie @corriemoreau.bsky.social this morning! it was her videos on the Brain Scoop with @ehmee.bsky.social 10yrs ago that first introduced me to the field of evolutionary biology, so I don't know if I'd be here without her! such inspiring work! 🐜

And if you missed it you can watch it here: www.youtube.com/live/vkBD3fg...

Wonderful SSB Presidential Address by @corriemoreau.bsky.social weaving outstanding science with messages of how we protect our science through change, resilience, and communication 💕

Had a wonderful time celebrating the work and message of @corriemoreau.bsky.social at the @systbiol.bsky.social presidential address! #Evol2025

Happening this Sunday morning (6/22) at 8:30am if you are at #Evol2025! My talk is titled "An inordinate fondness for ants: What evolution has taught me about change, resilience, and communication" Hope to see y'all there!

The recording of my IDEA talk is up on the #Evol2025 YouTube channel, and I've thrown that together with a PDF copy of the slide deck and a bibliography: lab.jbyoder.org/2025/06/21/a...

If this is your first meeting, members forums are a great easy to get a feel for what your professional society is up to, and to give your opinion on what your society ought to be doing. SSB is YOUR society. Tell us how we should work for you! #evol2025

Excited to hear from @jbyoder.org, winner of @systbiol.bsky.social @sse-evolution.bsky.social @asn-amnat.bsky.social idea award! #Evol2025

Very happy with this perspective piece just published. Highlighting how anti DEI has the same impacts as good old racism on educational equity.

When I have my military parade, it’s gonna be lit. It’s gonna be army ants for days. The biggest soldier ants you’ve ever seen.

Excited to head to #Evol2025 next week! It will be my last year in a presidential role for The Society of Systematic Biologists @systbiol.bsky.social and as such I will be giving the SSB Presidential Address. www.evolutionmeetings.org/plenaries.html

Spent an amazing couple of days with Shane Campbell-Staton!

I did a podcast interview for Voyage to the Wild with Charlie Young about Ants in the Amazon! You can listen to it here: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...

Proud to share my story and advocate for federal science funding in my hometown paper, the @orlandosentinel.com. I hope you'll join me in calling our elected officials to prevent devastating cuts to the NSF, NIH, and now other agencies like the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Congratulations to Dr. Chloe Jelley @chloejelley.bsky.social ! Beautiful Ph.D. thesis defense today! #MoreauLab #ProudPI

Congratulations to Dr. Leland Graber @bug4bug.bsky.social who did an excellent job defending his Ph.D. today! #MoreauLab #ProudPI @cornellentomology.bsky.social

The Natural History Museum Denmark is hiring a new Tenure-Track Assistant Professor and Curator of (Vertebrate) Palaeontology! Could it be you or someone you know‽ spread the word! Really excited to have a new colleague to work on our amazing collections! 🧪🏛️ candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationI...

GRFPs have been posted for 2025! Only 1000 awards made this year, less than half the normal amount. But that’s something!

The NIH-funded Haskell-KU Bridges Program was terminated. It was one of the longest running programs of its kind, placing >130 Native American students into STEM labs over the last ~25 years. So many alums spoke of this program as being the entry point to their interest, and later, careers in STEM.
