REMINDER: Fall 2024 Comparative Biology PhD Program and Graduate Fellowships Program at American Museum of Natural History Application Now Available! Deadline: December 15, 2023 amnh.org/research/richa…

Tonight at #Hymathon2023 I'm defending the honor of Apoid wasps at the newly minted Hymenoptera Showdown! I know best is subjective, but we are talking Apoid wasps here... Many thanks to the organizers! And to the amazing photos from iNat, only those with * are my own

I just found out (through a desk-reject) that Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution no longer considers most papers based on Sanger sequences (only genomic datasets). It is quite ironic that countries that hold most of the biodiversity will be unable to publish in this journal...

A quick share of our new preprint on the phylogeny of caddisflies before I tune out for the holidays. I’ve worked on this off and on for the last decade so I’m excited for it to finally see the light of day as a preprint! biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

On #TransDayOfVisibility, ESA celebrates contributions of transgender scientists to entomology and affirms our commitment to a safe, welcoming professional community. #EntoDEI Learn more in this 2023 Q&A w/ a trans entomologist in Communications Biology: nature.com/articles/s4200…

Ryan!!! Huge congrats!! WOW! 🦋🐛

our team name u ask? slay-mnh 🌈💅

Museums are for everyone! Members of AMNH PRIDE, a resource group for LGBTQ+ individuals and allies within the Museum community, are participating in the NYC Pride March today! Happy Pride to all.

Our work on caddisfly phylogenetics is out today in Royal Society Publishing Proc B! I started this work as a wee PhD student, and I am really pleased to have it out. Thank you to all of my co-authors who were so patient and helpful.

today the Ware Lab left no stone unturned.. literally 🫣

En route to Montréal for #Evol2024! Excited to share my work on the evolution and development of turtle ant polymorphisms this Monday at 9:30am during Phenotypic Plasticity I, in room 519AB 🐜🧬

new luna moth genome just dropped!! happy to share that the second chapter of my masters thesis is now published in GBE (Genome Biology and Evolution). thank you to my Florida Museum collaborators and silk community for helping me get this manuscript to the finish line! academic.oup.com/gbe/article/16…

Congratulations to Scott V Edwards on receiving the SSB Presidents' Award for Lifetime Achievement this morning! Scott, thank you for all you have done to make our Society and our field better. #Evol2024

one year later 😮‍💨 i will see you all in athens next year im being fr this time 😭

So so proud of my REU students for how hard they've worked this summer studying Arctic stonefly population genetics and how they may respond to warming temperatures! Thank you to Toolik Field Station's TUNDRA Award for providing funding to collect Alaskan stoneflies used in this project! ✨

i really miss being part of a union, and will always admire how much cool stuff UF Graduate Assistants United continues to do everyday for grad students at uf. with love, and solidarity always ❣️so proud of all of the momentous wins that y’all have secured this past 2 years!!

our new genome paper on the (weird) tuliptree scale is now out in g3! i've never worked on an insect with an alternative sex determ. system before my time in the Mongue lab, but needless 2 say... i will always be impressed and horrified of what bugs can do academic.oup.com/g3journal/adva…
