Looks like I’m voting independent this year...

Scientists being bros. The labs of Haworth KU answered the state’s call for extraction supply donations for #COVID19 testing. There was a whole other pallet upstairs and more coming. The Short Lab joined KU Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, KU Natural History Museum and others at University of Kansas to pitch in.

So pleased to finally say my very first (and my first first author) publication is out today! 19 brand new species of Chasmogenus are named as of today, doubling the described species from the Neotropics! zookeys.pensoft.net/article/49359/ #taxonomy

Biology is Awesome: I propose a new full-credit course offering The University of Chicago for international students threatened by the ICE ruling. We will meet in person, fully distanced, on the athletic fields, for a lecture over the PA system, with readings and discussion on awesome biology.

I’m presenting tomorrow at the #EntSoc2020 #SysEB business meeting at 5:58 EST on my upcoming project in dung beetle systematics with Nicole Gunter please feel free to tune in!

Nov. 18 2020 4:56cst. .... I may never learn... gonna go beer hunting.

Taking over the Harvard Museum twitter today, so follow along and learn some cool things about the Entomology Collection Museum of Comparative Zoology

Very excited to say that Stephen Baca will be defending his dissertation on Monday (!) June 28 at 10am Central Time on the Evolution of water beetle family Noteridae. Feel free to DM for the zoom link.

Finally, some fossil-based age estimates for most Adephaga major lineages! Also combining UCE, RNAseq and WGS is doable and very useful. Cool team effort led by Stephen Baca with Grey Gustafson, Alana Alexander and Harlan Gough onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/sy…

Our IRACDA postdoctoral program is a wonderful opportunity to teach at Haskell Indian Nations University while engaging in research at KU. Please contact me if you are interested in applying to work in my lab iracda.ku.edu

Troubleshooting bead cleanups on WGS libraries with no magnetic plate. Some broken magnets, JBweld, and a random tip rack did the trick. Anyone have 3D printer plans for DIY magnetic prep plates? Labs could buy a chunk of an NGS lane with the money saved…

We are accepting applications for our new NIH IRACDA postdoctoral program. Its an awesome program for those that want to pursue research and get some teaching experience. sjobs.brassring.com/tgwebhost/jobd…
