Since 2015 we have been studying Canada's only population of Small-mouthed #salamanders and the other salamanders they live alongside. This was the first time since 2019 that we were able to return during the breeding season to collect more data (due to COVID restrictions).

Well no changing it now! For anyone interested, I will be giving my M.S. thesis defense “Gradients in success: Impact of Wave Energy, Predation and Elevation on Oyster Reef Restoration” on May 26 at 9am. It will be hybrid format so anyone is welcome to join!

Hi! My name is Anna Albright and I recently graduated with my M.S. in Biology from ECU. I am currently looking for a job in the Denver, CO area in anything environmental related (consulting, field/lab tech, education). Please RT and help a passionate biologist find a job! Thanks!

Does anyone have training recommendations for Adobe Illustrator geared toward scientists? I've dabbled but am hoping to learn more!

academic conferences are wild. $1000 in flights and lodging. talk about your work for 15mins. hear some questions that are more of comments. go to the plenary. a senior scholar says something completely out of pocket. "this is not who we are." overpriced cocktails at hotel bar.

stoked to share the preprint for one my dissertation chapters! we use participatory science data across 6 major taxonomic clades to show that across California, historical redlining alters species richness as well as species assemblages!! thread 👇🏽 bit.ly/46OWHRy

It’s basically the trolley problem. Either we inflict this marginal annoyance upon you or we have STEM majors uncritically designing new child-killing, blender missiles.

This whole thread. If you’re grading students on how well they write papers, but don’t teach your students how to write papers, you’re just perpetuating inequalities.

It's release day for #NerdNite book, #HowtoWinFriendsandInfluenceFungi!! I had the amazing opportunity to illustrate this book and was given a HUGE amount of creative freedom. I'm going to share what went into creating each one. Order your copy here: static.macmillan.com/static/smp/how…

Appalachian salamanders are beautiful! We show #salamanders pick up the bacteria on their skin from the environment in a species-specific way & this salamander-bacteria #phylosymbiosis relationship explains, in part, how susceptible they are to a pathogen academic.oup.com/ismej/advance-…
