They not talking about Kamilla story enough for me. To leave your family at 15, learn an entire new language & dedicate everything you have to a sport, become a 2x Natty Champ and become the 3rd pick of the WNBA Draft? Put some respect on her mf name. #WNBADraft

On #EarthDay2024 , Global Change Center ~ at Virginia Tech and Invasive Species Collaborative @ VT graduate researchers Grace O'Malley and Gabrielle Ripa discovered the silent growth of non-native invasive plants can affect the soundscape of an ecosystem, a novel research approach published in Ecological Society. bit.ly/4aH5oQM

Can next-gen sequencing and ecological niche modeling explain the success of invasion and extent of introgression between native and non-native fishes? We found that yes, they can! My newest paper came out today in molecular ecology (Molecular Ecology) : doi.org/10.1111/mec.17…

Zooplankton community structure and diel migration patterns vary over hours, days, and years in the pelagic and littoral zone of a eutrophic reservoir congrats to Heather Wander for this paper, which was a huge sampling effort over multiple years! doi.org/10.1093/plankt…

Emerging from a Twitter hiatus to share an interview by WVTF & RADIO IQ's Roxy Todd, where Grace & Gabrielle Ripa discuss how invasive plants can affect the soundscape! 🌱🌿 shorturl.at/zn4DK Interested in learning more? Check out our paper here: shorturl.at/XaGlb

The parents of Virginia Tech students are going to make me drink tonight. Because Blacksburg is under a boil mandate for water (been in effect for about 5 hours), these parents are absolutely LOSING their minds that VT isn’t providing their precious angels with bottled water

I have no idea why people didn't have stores of fuel and generators, and stocks of food and water. Anyway here's a totally unrelated poverty map of Appalachia.

The University of Washington CS school is an unsafe environment for women, so as grad application season starts, please tell your students not to apply. There are at least 3 men in the systems lab that have sexually harassed numerous women and they continue to do so.

We've teamed up w/Insect ID Lab & Invasive Species Collaborative @ VT to bring you the exhibit, "Invasive Species: Understanding the Threat." Visit the 2nd floor of Newman to: 🔍Learn how to prevent & slow the spread 🌎Explore impacts on urban & rural areas 🦋Test your skills: Spot invasives vs. natives

The fact that these two Yankee fans acted like they didn’t do anything wrong… one held Mookie’s glove.. other one grabs Mookie’s hand and won’t let go. If this was done in Philly, social media would’ve melted down.
