Our next #EECG2025 Awardee is Anat Belasen! You can find her at @AnatLovesFrogs on X, @anatlovesfrogs.bsky.social on Bluesky, or through her website anatbelasen.com

It was incredible to work with such a generous and supportive group of frog researchers on this paper! So proud to see it finally out. I hope our results help with conservation of Rana boylii, a frog that was added to the Endangered Species list last September 🐸

New paper on the amphibian pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis #Bd published today. Features the endangered California frog species Rana boylii @RSocPublishing royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Hot off the press! Our paper on applying the CARE Principles to Ecology & Biodiversity data in @NatureEcoEvo 🥳 nature.com/articles/s4155…

@MicrobialFuture someday 🥂

@AnatLovesFrogs I wish we could celebrate the manuscript submission together!!! Congrats and thank you for all your hard work! Hoping for constructive reviews!

I am recruiting graduate students, postdocs, and a research technician/lab manager. Please get in touch if you are interested in hybridization/speciation, evolutionary genomics, or the avian microbiome. See here for more information about the lab baizlab.weebly.com

@marcella_baiz @UBuffalo Ahhh congrats Marcella! 🩷

I’m thrilled to announce I’ll be starting as an assistant prof in Biology at @UBuffalo this fall! The Baiz Lab will focus on understanding the speciation process—from genes that underlie adaptation and reproductive isolation to the differentiation of host-associated microbiomes!

@LameaceH @adanianscience omg what a dream team! hi @adanianscience I miss you <3

@SolomonRDavid Such a sweet photo!

Dear daughter, I too started off with bugs 🦋🥹👍

@KZ_UTAustin @texas_IB @TexasScience The tardy party 🐸😬💕

Yaaaay #WOCinEEB meetup at #Evol2023 🐢🌱🪱🐸🥰

Diversity is a core part of #Evol2023 at every level! Come check out the surprising diversity we uncovered by characterizing >1,000 species of yeast! Think all yeast are the same? Well, that would be like saying humans and worms are the same!

Museomics! How can we predict and prevent the decline of amphibians 🐸 by using historical genomics. @AnatLovesFrogs #Evol2023 No surprise she's rocking an amazing 🐸 shirt

@SabrinaMcnew Thanks for coming, so good to see you ❤️

Beautiful pictures and exciting science from @AnatLovesFrogs! Museum collections are great resources for studying evolution in response to disease

@kb_kinsey my fave sleepy heads <3

whether you can make it or not, you can submit a comment opposing SB 12 online here: comments.house.texas.gov/home

peeps @ UT/in Austin: you can go drop a card before 4pm today to express your opposition to this horrendous bill - tfn.org/dropacard/ a group from UT Dept of Integrative Bio are meeting up at Speedway and 24th at 2pm to walk to the capitol. feel free to join us!!

Today is another big day for #LGBTQ Texans in the Capitol. 1) A House committee will debate a drag ban — amended to remove references to drag, & 2) The House is scheduled to debate a bill to remove the state’s unconstitutional ban on gay sex. dallasnews.com/news/politics/… #txlege
