If you're teaching ecology this semester, here are some videos that might be useful: dynamicecology.wordpress.com/2013/10/08/vid…

Impactful educational resources provided by Project Biodiversify, including examples of diverse scientist role models & inclusive teaching practices #ASLO19

Looking forward to talking about the shifts in #benthic and pelagic production during a cyano bloom at 4:15 in CS 026 !

.University of Notre Dame and Loyola University Chicago researchers used ND-LEEF to make "first measurements of microplastic deposition in rivers, and directly inform models of microplastic transport at the landscape scale, making a key contribution to research on the global ecology of plastic waste"

Summer 2020 internship—please share with interested undergrads and recent grads! Myvatn is a super interesting system for both aquatic & terrestrial population, community, and ecosystem questions!

Earlier this semester, the UW–Madison CALS ento department unveiled this series of gorgeous posters by dr. chase prairie @chaseprairie.bsky.social. The initiative was spearheaded by lab members Taylor Tai, Skye Bruce, and Jade Kochanski, along with fellow grad student Jacki Whisenant

Excited to be #PhDone ! But bittersweet to wrap up an opportunity that involved working with so many wonderful people in such a special place

I imposed a curfew at 7pm. A full 25 minutes before the curfew & w/o provocation, federal police used munitions on peaceful protestors in front of the White House, an act that will make the job of DC Police Department officers more difficult. Shameful! DC residents — Go home. Be safe

I've said this before, but for all the people who believe you definitely would have been abolitionists in the era of slavery, who you are today is who you would have been then. You don't need to imagine scenarios of living in the 19th century, there's work to do here and now.

Professors, Graduate School Directors, Dept. Chairs, PIs, Postdocs and white graduate students. Please take a few minutes to read stories from #BlackintheIvory We are telling our stories. True allies should be willing to listen.

In the spirit of being more participatory this year...I tried to put some extra effort into my 1 minute video #scicomm thing about my #microplastics research. I hope I explained everything clear, yall know that's not my forte. Lol. Sidenote: Made with #Adobe Rush & After Effects

#ENTOMOLOGY community please read and share. My grad student colleagues and I have written a letter to @EntSocAmerica calling on them to change the name of the Linnaean Games: tiny.cc/ESAchangethena… And you can sign the petition here: change.org/ESAchangethena…. (1/3)

Help create a more inclusive space in entomology by signing the petition organized by fellow grad students here: change.org/p/entomologica….

Black voters, on average, wait 45 percent longer to vote than white voters; Latino voters wait 46 percent longer. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

Our lead author on the letter to #RenameLinnaeanGames, Taylor Tai, is quoted in this Science Magazine piece, along with many other incredible STEM advocates for racial justice. It’s a must read. Thanks for covering this important topic Eli Cahan!

I wrote this The Atlantic. It remains relevant. #FourthofJuly “As we know all too well today, wealthy white American men did not stop rebelling when they won the American Revolution, when they gained the power to protect their declared independence.” 1/4 theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Perhaps the greatest anti-slavery speech ever uttered is “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July,” by Frederick Douglass, in 1852. I wanted to make the speech more accessible. Here’s a thread with an abridged version of the speech we should reread every #FourthofJuly. 1/

I discovered my love of plants 7 years ago in Iceland. I saw these beautiful lupins (Lupinus nootkatensis) spread across the landscape & wanted to know more about their story. Little did I know that I would return the next year to do my BSc project on these #invasivealienspecies

Moment to remember. Q to Trump: Would you condemn white supremacists? Trump doesn't answer the question & brings up ANTIFA. Wallace: Will you condemn white supremacists? Trump: "Proud Boys, stand back & stand by." That is not a condemnation by any stretch of the imagination.

"Stand back and stand by." The line of the night. What Donald J. Trump said to the greatest domestic terrorist threat of our time: White supremacists. "Stand back and stand by." #Debates2020
