Lots of new grad students starting in research labs this month, including many who have been taught (in subtle or overt ways) that they need to fight to prove they belong. It’s an exhausting way to spend your career. So I’m re-upping this for anyone who needs to hear it today:

This is such an awesome lab photo!

Check out Wissam Jawad 's first chapter -- showing that heat waves force choices between behavioral thermoregulation and predator avoidance in marsh snails. With Ana Salgado authors.elsevier.com/c/1junU51aUrCtn LSU News LSU Department of Biological Sciences LSU College of Science

Wissam is a fantastic scientist, and has followed his love of natural history and an intuition about behavior to design an experiment showing something important about how climate change will affect predator-prey dynamics in marsh ecosystems. Keep an eye on this one folks 🐌💜

Six GRFP letters to finish today! I'm gonna be busy, but it's also a good day when you can spend it bragging on some really great people.

The LAGNiAppE Network postbacc crew had a perfectly Louisiana day retreat: zydeco breakfast + dancing, hike on a Nature Conservancy trail full of herps and birds, and a swamp boat tour. Laissez les bin temps rouler! #RaMP #NSFfunded

Mood, heading into election week. Let’s do this.

Pulled the numbers for the purposes of haranguing the youth during lecture tomorrow. Guess which of these age groups will be living on this planet the longest?
