Not entirely sure what's going on here, but I APPROVE 🐜🐜

Calling disabled entomologists! Planning a symposium in November & we have room for more speakers if anyone would like to share their journey. Comment or DM me for more information! #entosky #entomology @entsocamerica.bsky.social

Interested in trait evolution and/or connecting micro and macroevolution? The Evolutionary Quantitative Genetics Workshop has returned, now at Mountain Lake Biological Station, VA, June 9-13th! Deadline for application April 4th, 5pm EST. More info here: eqgw.github.io

Great thread on the scientific legacy of Maria Sibylla Merian an amazing and groundbreaking entomologist! And the obstacles she had to overcome.

If you missed our recent panel on “Inclusive Science Communication” with the New York Academy of Sciences, we summarized our panel into this citable summary. Please check it out #SciComm #NYAS #inclusivescience

🚨 Students and recent graduates: you still have a month to submit your talk for consideration in the 2025 Ernst Mayr Award Competition 🚨 See this page for requirements and instructions. www.systbio.org/ernst-mayr-a...

So excited be at Naturalis @naturalis.bsky.social today and tomorrow serving on their Scientific Advisory Board! Stunning building, outstanding collections, impactful research, and engaging exhibits #CollectionsAreEssential #NaturalHistoryMuseums

Natural history collections reveal Earth's past, trends & contain anecdotes & forecasts that would otherwise go unknown. They've been losing money for yrs & NIH/NSF overhead cuts may spell the end for them. www.nytimes.com/2016/04/03/o... Meanwhile, techno-savoirism carries on.

Forty-seven scientific societies have signed a letter organized by the @ucsusa.bsky.social urging Congress to protect federally funded research and federal scientists: www.ucsusa.org/about/news/s...

NSF plans to reinstate all probationary employees who were fired on 18 Feb! NSF’s decision. 👏🏻👏🏻❤️

Another #naturalhistory collection may be orphaned. Paleontological Research Institution in Ithaca, New York ("top 5 such collections in the country") @corriemoreau.bsky.social estimates PRI has produced more female paleontologists than most other institutions www.science.org/content/arti...

This is such great news!!!!

ASM stands firm in its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, as such efforts are critical to advancing the microbial sciences for everyone. Read our statement: asm.org/Press-Releas...

Dear federal scientists: If you have been affected by the probationary firings and would be willing to speak with Science, please reach out to me by email ([email protected]) or on Signal. We can guarantee annonymity.

Congratulations to 2024 IDEA Award recipient, Jeremy Yoder! Dr. Yoder was selected for his foundational work recognizing, celebrating, and promoting the inclusion of LGBTQ+ professionals in STEM fields. He’ll present the IDEA Award Plenary at #Evol2025. www.systbio.org

Seeking a collaborator who works with ai pattern recognition in images. Basic premise is that I have a bunch of photos of an invertebrate which have and have not a particular microbe associated with them. I’d like to use pattern recognition to do several things:

🤣 This thread about a listserv reply all at NYU is HILARIOUS! Thank you bsky.app/profile/lain... for sharing. I actually laughed out loud multiple times including when someone replied "no we ride til dawn" to all the folks asking to be removed from the reply alls. And Onions is adorable!

Important work and great quote “I’ve gotta tell you, as an entomologist — I’ve been doing this for over 25 years now, and it is a rare day when the humans actually get to win one against the insects"

What a surprise! Touchdown the @Cornell bear mascot came to visit the Cornell University Insect Collection for our winter party and we go to show them some insects @cornellcals.bsky.social @cornellentomology.bsky.social

One of the last tasks of my Ph.D.: depositing voucher specimens from my dissertation work. Pretty neat that ants collected by me- and my dad!- get to live next to those collected by @corriemoreau.bsky.social and E. O. Wilson! 🐜🤩

Cornelians in West Chester, PA – what a wonderful evening of reunions! #Cornell ❤️🫶 @corriemoreau.bsky.social @juehlz.bsky.social

One of my favorite papers I have published! We showed that the major diversification of ants happened in response to the rise of flowering plants www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

🚨The Department of Biology at WCU is hiring part-time adjunct faculty – visit this link for more information: www.schooljobs.com/careers/wcup... ‼️Please help to spread the word! 🔁📣 #BLACKandSTEM #Science #STEM #SCIComm #WomenInTech #WomenInSTEM #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEMCaucus #ecoevojobs

We have to change Hiring, Retention, Promotion & Tenure (HRPT) to deal with this reality. Non-White scientists appear on fewer editorial boards, spend more time under review, and receive fewer citations www.pnas.org/doi/pdf/10.1...

A gallery of Dolichoderus ants from around the world. These insects are incredibly diverse in form, quite heavily armored for their subfamily, and often ecologically dominant, with large colonies holding extensive territories.
