Excited to announce that I've joined the University of Nebraska - Lincoln! After some time away from direct scientific research, I’m thrilled to dive back into studying the systematics, phylogenomics, and molecular ecology of non-model organisms, especially arachnids.

New internship opportunity at Smithsonian Panama! If you are a highly motivated and curious person, and you enjoy doing both lab and field work, don’t miss out on this opportunity! 👇

It's almost my favorite time of year again. Teaching students how to read phylogenies using Pokemon.

they made hello kitty into algae 😭

I gave a guest lecture in a class today and NOBODY TOLD ME MY SHORTS WERE ON BACKWARDS. I'm going to crawl into a hole now.

For #Arachtober, let's talk about a taxonomically complicated, poorly studied, but widespread group, the Linyphiidae. Known as the sheet web weavers, this group builds horizontal sheet webs in grass, shrubs, under leaf litter, in mud, and in crevices belowground.

My dad texted me these photos with the caption "Peanut and his new friend wormy!" My heart is full.

my life changed when i learned some house spiders can't survive outside so now i just catch them and release them in a friend's home

On #Arachtober 13th, I bring you Erigone. While not the most diverse erigonine genus in North America (that title belongs to Walckenaeria), it is most certainly huge. Moreover, there are likely many synonyms and undescribed species within the group that remain as such.

Kids are climbing over her head again, while she holds onto the egg sac with the younger siblings.

Open this amazing thread to learn about one of my favorite genera of spiders! I promise you will NOT be disappointed.

My 11yo cousin asked me to explain what sperm is and then proceeded to tell me I don’t wake up early enough by getting up at 8am. Is she my 6th committee member?
