My stocks just went down and I wonder if that is due to NY mayoral run or airport shutdowns.... hard to say these days

What happened to impact factors? I've havent checked them in a couple of years and everything went down...

Tchau querido

I'm excited to announce that my lab is moving to the Department of Biological Sciences at Florida Atlantic University in January next year! Can't wait to join amazing new colleagues and be able to run outside year round to work with lizards on campus and sea urchins at the FAU Marine Lab!

My biggest Halloween pet peeve: animal skull decoration in which the skull has a complete post-orbital bar and is not a primate

I'm telling my student the horrors of Brazilian academic job searches on Halloween and that seam fitting

I will say this about the rat-eating-bat-gate: It feels wrong to me every time I see a r strategist eating a K strategist

I lost track here. How are we on eating eggs again?

Whatever happened to these monkeys clearly serves as a metaphor for the current stage of capitalism we are living in

These last two weeks, I had former undergrad students come up to me to say how much they liked my class. I was raised catholic. I am not mentally ready for this kind of positive validation

How I fell after an afternoon nap

It's Wednesday night, I am reading the Wikipedia entry for Marvel's Wild Child and that is all I can do

I think one advantage ot LLM is the increase in people using mcmcGLMM

People usually complain about Farenheit or feet, but what I truly do not understand is grade curving

i hate that outlook can't understand that, if I reply to a message from me on a thread, that I want to send it to the other person on the tread, and not send myself a reply, which is NEVER THE CASE

🚨🚨JOB ALERT 🚨🚨 Fresh new position in Comparative Biology at OSU! We're looking for a comp. biologist, especially those who investigate biomechanics, functional anatomy, neuroanatomy, or morphological development. Feel free to ask me any questions! jobs.okstate.edu/jobs/assista...

I am fascinated by this Mother Horse Eyes story.

I want to design a thermal physiology lab for my Mammalogy course. The simplest way would be a bunch of math, but I wonder if anyone has developed a more interactive lab for that

Same energy

more often than not, this is how I feel about AI

since yesterday i cannot use google scholar link to produce bib citations. Has anyone else experienced that on eduroam?

I feel that some papers receive a pass on the "share your data" requirement, even though journals declare their support for open science. It does not seem to be a case of seniority or nationality. Not sure what it is

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

CA Biology job alert My unit at the CA Dep of Fish and Wildlife is hiring a permanent position to write 5 year reviews for species listed under the CA Endangered Species Act. Based in West Sacramento, currently 2x week in office. I am happy to answer questions calcareers.ca.gov/CalHrPublic/...

I can't help but notice polarization and societal dysfunction have increased since we stopped making websites like this

Do you like cichlids? Fossils? Fossil cichlids? Would you like to study them as part of a graduate degree at the University of Michigan, joining an NSF-funded project? Get in touch.

I am recruiting a PhD student this application cycle to explore questions on the evolution of morphological variation and phylogenetics. I'm especially seeking folks interested in fossil marine inverts. Please reach out to me if interested! Portal opens Nov. 1 eeb.utoronto.ca/education/gr...

Quantas vezes ouvimos "não vai dar em nada". Mas deu. E hoje o Brasil dá um exemplo pro mundo (e pra si mesmo). Essa é pra todo mundo que chorou a perda de entes queridos enquanto esse verme imitava eles morrendo.

Brazil’s supreme court finds Bolsonaro guilty of plotting military coup

Saiu um fóssil hoje na Nature e eu fui entrevistada pra comentar o novo achado na News da Science Magazine :) www.science.org/content/arti...

I just wrote "mammals" as "memmels". Time to call it?

I have a list of evolutionary/paleontological phenomena that I can't believe, even though I know they are firmly established. I might start a thread even.

well, I've rushed to schedule a vaccine before they take that option away from me

Did you know we are one of two journals produced by the Natural History Museum London. We champion the importance of collections-based systematics and our papers cover fossil species from across the tree of life, substantially contributing to the systematics of extinct taxa. So, why publish with us?

I will never apologize for a post

this finding is bonkers

I'm recruiting a PhD student to join the lab at @gtsciences.bsky.social in Fall 2026! Broad taxonomic and topical freedom under the umbrella of vertebrate joint form and function. Information here: www.manafzadeh.com – please share 🦴🩻

Reading a manuscript and the authors casually mention that the species they collected are extinct in the wild and it made me very sad

Great opportunity at a great lab in a great place!

One lingering aspect of this LLM stuff, even after it collapses, will be the knowledge that many of my peers don’t make things to enjoy the making, but to enjoy the having made. I just assumed everyone really dug climbing that mountain too. Nothing noble about it, no judgement, just a lesson learned
