This. This was one of those days that reminded me I love what I do. #DirtyJobs #crayfish #crawdads #Mudbugs #NCNature @naturalsciences

Thanks yall!

For #InternationalMuseumDay we reflect on the importance of museum collections, which are not only used for display but also education and research. Collections are at the heart of everything that museums do #IMD #IMD2024 @IcomOfficiel @AmgueddfaCymru

The first paper from our collaboration with @Iziko_Museums is out. Descriptions of new Arabella species from both UK (A. ampulliformis) and South Africa (A. umgazanae) will support accurate identifications & give clarity on Arabella iricolor #WormWednesday doi.org/10.1080/156270…

@SarahStellwagen and I will again be offering fellowships to "Spider Camp" at Highlands Bio Station in North Carolina. Info, syllabus, and application form on my website: burnslab.umbc.edu/spider-course/ Apply and share, please!

Interested in working in the Ozarks of Missouri this summer surveying rare fishes? @MDC_online is currently accepting applications online at the link below jobs.mdc.mo.gov/job/Columbia-R…

FYI @WITN, these large, non-native crabs have also been found in coastal NC, and there are multi-agency efforts asking the community to help track them. deq.nc.gov/about/division… @NCDEQ @NC_DMF @NaturalSciences @BWWilliamsLab

A special holiday thanks to our many amazing #LunchTimeDiscovery Livestream Show speakers this year, to our partners at @NaturalSciences, and to our host @EnvEdChris. We produced 46 talks in 2023...stay tuned for 2024! eenorthcarolina.org/resources/vide…

Intern Christa May is really getting it with inverts data entry, learning to catch when there are other phyla collected along with the target! This attention to detail expands our collections in really interesting ways. ugacollections.recollectcms.com/nodes/view/544…

@Coastal_Review For even more on this story, check out this recent @NCDEQ @NorthCarolinaEE/@NaturalSciences #LunchTimeDiscovery talk by @BWWilliamsLab youtube.com/watch?v=_q3f1t…

@wareslab Awesome visual! I need to get my GoPro in the water more often. 🤔 No, this isn't Cambarus harti. I can't tell for sure, but I think this might be Cambarus aff. bartonii. Might need to go on a camping trip to double check 😉

"I'd like to talk to you about your vehicle's extended warranty." It's to early to know the spread or impacts of the Blue Land Crab in NC. That's why scientists need your help. @BWWilliamsLab breaks it down TODAY noon ET #LunchTimeDiscovery livestream youtube.com/watch?v=_q3f1t…

Hi all, due to the short holiday week we've given the #LunchTimeDiscovery crew a much-deserved break. We're back next week though with one of your favorites, @BWWilliamsLab! naturalsciences.org/calendar/event… Streams 9/13/23 @NCDEQ @NaturalSciences @EnvEdChris

Please share: I am still recruiting a master’s student to sample mussels in tributary systems of the south-central plains ecoregion in Arkansas. Position starts in January (2024).

One of my favorite projects to date is out today in Frontiers for Young Minds! @ColleenEcology, @MoniquePipkin, and @CorrieMoreau and I wrote this piece to communicate the value of natural history collections to young learners. A 🧵: kids.frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

I received tissue samples from ~30 species, most of which are from the deep sea. I wonder how much money it cost to gather these. The value held by museums is insane

Uncovering the early history of the Georgia Museum of Natural History, 1785-1900 academic.oup.com/jhc/article/33… bringing this back up because watch soon for a new paper on the early 20th century history of our museum (spoiler: there was a fire…)

@NCReserve @NorthCarolinaEE @UNCims Looking at my calendar now 😉

@BWWilliamsLab @NorthCarolinaEE @UNCims Amazing! Come and visit the Rachel Carson Reserve in Beaufort, I bet you will find a few :)

Speaking of spoonworms @NCReserve and @NorthCarolinaEE! I am always up for searching for more of these amazing animals. We found the one showcased here @uncims tucked in a bivalve shell.
