Wel, no surprise that Coyne used his blog (whyevolutionistrue) to argue with the SSE/SSB/ASN letter about definitions of sex. I'm not going to engage deeply with the letter here. Like any committee-drafted text it reflects compromises; I agree with some phrasing but some could have been clearer 1/N

It’s nice to see a society speak up. I’ve always been a fan of ASN and AmNat as entities in the scientific community though I’ve never thought of it as “my society”. This finally motivated me to change that. www.amnat.org/membership/b...

There's nothing more hopeful than spending a day speaking to kiddos. I had a great time sharing STARLIGHT SYMPHONY and answering questions with kids in New Jersey, Illinois, New Mexico, Michigan, Colorado, Northern New York, Long Island, and Maryland. Happy World Read Aloud Day! #kidlit #WRAD

This is a phenomenal program I've been involved with for years. Selected students get their costs paid for, a day of programming before the conference begins on both how to conference and how to apply to grad schools, they get mentors for the conference to help them meet people, etc.

Picasso Bug (Sphaerocoris annulus):This is an insect native to Cameroon, Ivory Coast and the African continent southwards to Zimbabwe and South Africa. The bug's incredibly artistic markings are of course the reason for its quite appropriate common name.
