I've been feeling pretty sorry for myself recently regarding the suspension of my research and that of my mentees, but this piece by Maddie Stone reminded me how much company I have in this dismal situation...washingtonpost.com/weather/2020/0…

So stoked to hear Todd talking about the UMD Entomology insect zoo on NPR!!! npr.org/sections/coron…

We've begun to compile a list of virtual talks, seminars, forums etc. - #devbio and adjacent Feat. EvoEcoSeminars Nucleus Science Talks Muscle Science Talks Plantae Gene Regulation Spiraliaphiles & #DevBioTeachOn We must have missed some - let us know! thenode.biologists.com/list-of-virtua…

Every time one of us is rejected, beat down, dismissed, ridiculed, or murdered, I question why I am still in academia. This means I ask myself this question every day, many times a day. I love science, but justice is more important. And yet, it never comes.

Of all the reporting in the last ten days, I think this remembrance of Breonna Taylor from Ari Shapiro and All Things Considered maybe is some of the most important: npr.org/2020/06/04/868…

I heard on the radio that in #Israel, the # of #Covid19 positives only reflect the # of tests. Not true and quite interesting: - %positives range between 0.13% and 6.3%, that's 47-fold! - While a correlation exists, it is completely lost when sampling above 9000 people/day!

Hey everyone! We are running a FREE virtual program in August aimed at demystifying grad school in Evolution & Ecology!! If you're a recent grad/undergrad/masters student considering a PhD in E&E but not sure WHY or HOW--this is for YOU! Applications open today--apply by 7/1!

Just read this cool new take on sex chromosome evolution! Got me motivated to dive down the rabbit hole of identifying master sex determiners...

I'm on a team editing a special JoVE collection "Field and Laboratory Methods for Modern Entomology." Do you have a method you think might fit well in here? More information & submission link here: jove.com/methods-collec… Please RT!

Super excited to share my first first-author paper with @pollyp1, out now on bioRxiv. We made male mosquitoes that are attracted to humans!! (1/n) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

This paper's got it all -- Hox genes, Hymenoptera, bacteria, obligate endosymobiosis, evolutionary transitions. Very, very cool. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Apply for the Center for Population Biology postdoctoral fellowship! Please RT cpb.ucdavis.edu/cpb-postdoc-fe…

I was so excited to get a notification of @amazngspidermom's Nature Communications paper in my Google Scholar Alerts this morning! Check out the story of what happens when an essential developmental gene is lost from a lineage: nature.com/articles/s4200…

THIS was what I needed to read at the end of a day where I wasted too much time following breathless updates on the world's most famous covid patient. A refreshing dive into history, science, and philosophy: theatlantic.com/science/archiv…

YES. nobelprize.org/prizes/chemist…

Since there's nothing else going in the world right now (🙃😐😬), this seems like a good time to share my third dissertation chapter, out today in PNAS: pnas.org/content/early/… with santiago ramirez Sharon Strauss and Hugh Dingle.

So cool to see Gabby's work featured in Forbes!
