Beautiful morning in the Florida scrub. Hoping for a productive day of fieldwork! Bring on the jays 😍

Quick visit to my snowy new home, Colby College! I’m so excited 😆

@lifedispersing Thank you!! I am so excited to join the department and Colby community. It’s almost starting to feel real 🤣

@tinosaurs Thank you!!

Big life news for 2023!! This fall, I will be joining the Biology Department at Colby College as Assistant Professor! The Wild Symbioses Lab is on the move. Maine next 😃

Good morning, Saigon!

Officially on winter break! Let’s do this!!

I have extra assistance with lecture prep today! Laptop incubation is a very important step to the process of producing the perfect presentation 🤣

Introductory post: I'm an entomologist/evolutionary biologist that's interested in the evolution of Hymenoptera 🐝 🐜 , in particular gall inducing/ parasitic wasps. Currently I'm a Marie Curie fellow at the University of Edinburgh, using phylogenomics 🧬 , community ecology 💻 , and morphological taxonomy 🔬 to figure out who's who, and who eats who in a tritrophic system consisting of 🌹 -> 🌹gall wasps->their natural enemies.

@OberstKrueger - it’s pretty fantastic! Especially the night launches

@jemppu - Hello! I’m a displaced Swede in Florida 🇸🇪

One of the benefits of living in central Florida - watching rocket launches from the driveway! #artemis

Heya there! Finally made it over here. Prof @UTAustin in Integrative Biology, biodiversity scientist. I care about women and diversity in science. #FirstToot

Hello fellow Mastodon people! I thought I would contribute an #introduction toot now that it seems that the migration is in full force. My name is Anna and I am currently a research scientist at the University of Central Florida. I am actively on the job market right now and looking for my long-term, tenure-track home. 1/5

This week the Cornell Lab of Ornithology released fine scale population trends maps for over 500 North American #birds based on #eBird data. These maps are the culmination of several years of research and development by the #eBird Status and Trends team, and all this work was only possible because of the amazing community of eBirders who contributed 43.8 million checklists to the dataset we used to estimate population trends.

Citizen science is a valuable tool for climate science, and many other disciplines.

Currently, volunteers are transcribing detailed weather observations that were written in ship logs on voyages around the world in the 1860s, and turning the hand-written measurements into digital data.

This data will help us better reconstruct past changes in climate. #WeatherRescue

And, anyone can help!
