Nice big group of young scientists from #SouthwesternU attending @txacsci.bsky.social 2025 - molecular ecologists, physiologists, neurobiologists, chemists, engineers, computer scientists. It’s good to #celebratescience

Next round of #BurksLab #undergraduateresearchers @txacsci.bsky.social #TAS2025 - good work from only bring in the lab since August! My first #TAS was 20+ yrs ago! Crazy how long I’ve been doing this!

Standing room only in Terrestrial Ecology and Management as well as other concurrent sessions this morning! #TAS128

The marine science section has begun with UTPB undergraduate Jenny Hunt presenting research on coral restoration #TAS128

Next up in the science education section, @profromi.bsky.social discusses a CURE based on micro plastic study in freshwater systems #TAS128

Standing room only as Dr. Jason Locklin discusses challenges to undergraduate research at Community Colleges #TAS128

#TAS128 has begun!

Some helpful tips for our poster session at #TAS128 on Friday!

Very excited for our 2025 Annual Meeting, which starts THIS FRIDAY! Detailed schedule is now available at www.texasacademyofscience.org/2025-meeting We hope to see you soon #TAS128

My lab made Pokémon cards featuring Texas fishes for our Darwin Day exhibit

The general schedule for our 128th Annual Meeting is now available! We hope to see you in Waco Feb 28 - March 1! www.texasacademyofscience.org/assets/Meeti...

It's International Day of Women and Girls in Science! To celebrate, we're sharing conversations with #WomenInScience — researchers, editors, and science communicators. Read their stories ▶️👩‍🔬 blog.cdnsciencepub.c...#WomenInScience#IDWGIS

Women make up only 35% of STEM graduates worldwide. UNESCO encourages more women and girls to get involved in science education. On #WomenInScience Day, let's amplify their voices! www.unesco.org/en/days/wome...

The world needs female scientists & their unique perspectives to tackle the triple planetary crisis. Yet, they continue to face long-standing barriers. This #WomenInScience Day, learn more about what it takes to close the yawning gender gap in science: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

Today is International Day of Women & Girls in Science. Marie Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize. Her contributions have left an indelible mark on the world of science & health & continue to inspire generations of scientists & innovators. 🔬 #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM

Members! You should receive an email with details this afternoon, but we are looking for new volunteers for our Board of Directors! Specifically, we need nominations for Vice President, Academic and Non-Academic Director, and Student Director. Contact us if interested!

I teach this resource by @johnfocook.bsky.social in all my classes. Highly recommended, as it applies to many topics in addition to climate change. ⬇️

Try to stay warm out there, Texans!

A New York Times columnist says it’s “much too slangy, regional or what you might even call ethnic to ever gain universal acceptance.” We couldn’t disagree more. www.texasmonthly.com/being-texan/...

Good luck to all the students in Texas preparing for or taking final exams this week!

TODAY is your final chance to submit an abstract to present at #TAS128 the 2025 Annual Meeting of the Texas Academy of Science www.texasacademyofscience.org/2025-meeting

TOMORROW is your final chance to submit an abstract to present at #TAS128 the 2025 Annual Meeting of the Texas Academy of Science www.texasacademyofscience.org/2025-meeting

Climate Change: It's real. It's us. It's serious - and already dangerous. But there are solutions. The science is clear: the faster we cut emissions, the less suffering we will cause, and the better off we'll all be.

The Texas Academy of Science Board of Directors has decided to extend the deadline for #TAS128 abstract submission. The new deadline is November 22, 2024, at midnight! www.texasacademyofscience.org/2025-meeting

#Introduction Welcome, new Bluesky users! We have been promoting science excellence in the state of Texas since it was founded in 1880. Learn more at www.texasacademyofscience.org

Hi new followers! Seems I've been "Starter Pack'd," (thx @shellygaynor.bsky.social & @barkerms.bsky.social) so I thought I'd re-introduce myself! The PEAT Lab (credit @madiraibullock.bsky.social) focuses on phylogenetics, conservation genetics, and wet & dry lab methods development in plants!

AI People! Come work here! UT Austin cluster hire in Advances in AI and Data Science for Environmental Systems. 3 positions, open rank, either in Integrative Biology or Jackson School of Geosciences. apply.interfolio.com/158908 apply.interfolio.com/158862 Pic of Nov blue campus skies for attention

Hi all, my name is Kevin Williams, and my lab studies brain pathways and cellular mechanisms that regulate feeding, body weight, and blood glucose control, aiming to inspire new therapies for obesity and diabetes. I'm also a co-host of DiabetesBio, available on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.
