I have discovered that apparently this is how my dog spends her day while I’m at work: nestled deep in my pillows. This explains a lot.

Our paper on convergent evolution of land crabs is out in its final final form. The journal didn't pick my image as the cover, so I'm sharing it here because it must be seen! academic.oup.com/sysbio/artic... 🦀🦑🧪

One of my fave things the kids brought home from preschool was the phrase “don’t yuck someone else’s yum”. I’ve thought about this one a lot over the years.

Hello bluesky. I've done a bit of an update to the #MarSocSci starter pack. A flurry of new followers suggests it was needed. Let me know if you are engaged in marine social science and would like to be added. Suggest including the hashtag in your message so people can find you! go.bsky.app/Sj7NX5D

Offering a brief reprieve from the crushing anti-science news with this juvenile sturgeon. Hang in there friends!🧪🐟

take Melville's advice here with a flashback to the sounds of a summer creek

Ampullae of Lorenzini are sensory organs that detect electric fields and are found in sharks, rays, and skates. They help sharks locate prey, navigate in murky waters, and even help them sense their environment!

Willow-cat and I are on early morning snow watch; this winter storm has been wild! My Florida kids have never seen snow so if we get any they’ll be super stoked

Hi friends! It took me a bit but I am here to talk about #bats, #ecology, #RStats, and all the other great wildlife my lab and I have had the fortune to play with over the years!

We’re getting lots of new Bluesky friends! Please share your favorite science and conservation starter packs as a reply here and I’ll share them. Let’s get our science and conservation friends lots of followers! 🧪🌎🦑

This recent blog post provides a very accurate and useful summary of Bertram and I's recent Nature Reviews Psychology article on the value of self-reports relative to "implicit measures" (as we defined them in the original article): www.psypost.org/self-report-...

On Dasher, on Darter! It’s #Fishmas Eve, but who needs Rudolph’s nose when your entire body is brighter than holiday lights? 🦌 The penultimate fish of this year’s #GreatLakes #25DaysofFishmas is the Gilt Darter (Percina evides), a small, colorful fish that brings the holiday sparkles and gilt ✨

Dear #Science 🧪 bubble: What makes a good lab #website ? Which (self-hosted) #software 💻 are you using? What features do you consider essential? And what are some of your favorite lab websites? Pls share. #FishSc

Beautiful day for a visit to our coastal fam, happy holidays y’all!

“Where are the findings? You only provide quotes.” New article considers qualitative researchers’ experiences of methodologically incongruent peer review feedback Open Access: dx.doi.org/10.1037/qup0... Few quotes follow 🧵

Glad you asked, the thing about Cuban Gars… #GarWeek #GarPuns

#GARWEEK IS HERE!!! We’re excited to celebrate this “most-loathed,” misunderstood, and amazing group of living fossil fishes with you all! Enjoy this Intro to Gars @ologies.bsky.social from #Garology! Feel free to share YOUR #GarPuns, photos, #GARtwork and any other GARish posts!

When you have being on time anxiety and don’t want to be late for the virtual meeting but also social anxiety and don’t want to get there too early cuz you don’t have any small talk so you sit with your cursor over the “join” button until the exact meeting start time

Rudolph the Red-nose…Shiner? 🔴🦌 Red Shiner (Cyprinella lutrensis) - also called Red Horse Minnow or Rainbow Dace - leads us into #25DaysofFishmas Day 15 not with a nose so bright but with a cautionary tale of a potentially invasive species in the #GreatLakes (+ is the answer to #SundayFishSketch!)

Ok we've had norms, we've had values: today we'll look at a theory that ties them all together! There are lots of factors that contribute to our behavior. In 1999 Stern and colleagues linked a few of these together in a causal chain in their "Value-Belief-Norm (VBN) Theory", our topic for today!

#GARWEEK schedule is HERE! Get ready for a FINtastic week celebrating gars, native fishes, freshwater biodiversity, and GARish puns! *while Gar Week is cross-platform, there will be content exclusive to Bluesky🦋😎

When the gars align... ⭐⭐ That's right, #25DaysofFishmas will be coinciding with #GarWeek this year! Stay tuned next week for some special #Fishmas features about #GreatLakes Lepisosteidae (& Friends) @garlab.bsky.social @solomonrdavid.bsky.social
