The only issue with working on an important wildlife species that... well, sometimes wildlife actually wants to eat the delicious chestnuts out of your study trees. Here's some bear damage that #wrecked one of my trees and destroyed a few datapoints.

Representing WVU while hunting for fungus-infected goldenrod soldier beetles at Snake Hill WMA. We didn't find any, but I caught a few monarchs and had a gorgeous view! I never dreamed I'd get to catch insects for my career. #CollegeColorsDay WVU Talent and Culture

Science Twitter: I need to find some online GC/MS training videos! It's find if they're behind a paywall. @kasson_wvu @HereBeSpiders11 #GCMS #ScienceTwitter #scienceduringCOVID

Some 45,500 years ago, ancient humans on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi sketched out the rotund form of a native pig—the oldest drawing of a creature yet discovered on.natgeo.com/38OVq2t

After 8 years of collecting, I think I’m finally reaching the max number of plants I can keep happy. Apparently it’s somewhere around 50.

Spent a lot of time looking up science activities for high schoolers and now I'm in an existential crisis about how little I know about magnetism. #magnets #howdotheywork

Heres my first blue-eyed #cicada of #BroodX and only the third I've ever found! Notice the blue wing veins and intersegmental membranes. This individual will be used to investigate what exactly causes the mutation. Ngl I gasped so loud I almost scared him away!

I teach Ecology at one of First2's summer immersion sites and I wish First2 was around when I was entering college! Please spread the word about this incredible organization and consider donating if you can! Feel free to ask me about them 😁

It's amazing what insects can inspire us to create! "In the digital competition, The Post won a gold medal for a portfolio of stories on the Brood X cicadas." #BroodX washingtonpost.com/pr/2022/04/08/…

I make these handy #NCAATournament schedules every year for the first round with tip-off times and channel logos. You need to be a woke enough fan to know the logos, however. Enjoy.

It's that time of year again! Mark and I potted 172 American chestnut/Chinese chestnut hybrids (B3F3) this morning for planting at the WVU Research Forest later this year.

Sometimes during leaf-off conditions, I forget just how thick the understory is around my plots. While I may not be looking forward to re-hacking new trails through the brush, I couldn't be more excited for spring! x.com/kasson_wvu/sta…

As a child, I wanted to be a herpetologist just so I could study these awesome creatures. Now I study trees and fungi because they're easier to catch! x.com/Mammals_Suck/s…

The WVU Davis College Graduate Fair has been a blast! Shoutout to @kasson_wvu for helping me prepare a quality poster and educate so many new people on American chestnut, the blight that has decimated populations, and a hypovirus that may soon come tot he rescue.
