There’s a common thread linking the decline in humanities majors, Hollywood paying its writers pennies and the tech world wanting all writers and painters to be replaced by machines. We’ve entirely forgotten how essential the arts and literature are to a healthy society.

Som abortion thoughts: I teach sex ed and when I explain the menstrual cycle, I emphasize that if you are expecting your period, it’s one day late, and you take a pregnancy test, if it comes back positive, you are considered 4 weeks + 1 day into your pregnancy.

This is why I love science communication and why communicating your research is so important! You may recall not long ago we wrote a paper on Kleptopharmacophagy, a new, but lesser known behaviour where milkweed butterflies apparently gather chemicals from their own caterpillars.

our new paper on tracking insect activity affordably and portably is out now 🦋thanks @Mothyash @KawaharaLab @DansbyHailey and @Dr_Akito for such an awesome opportunity in the field besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/20…

🦋How do you measure the movement of tiny insects? Find out in our latest blog post, where @Mothyash, @ElinaBarredo, @DansbyHailey et al. present a cost-effective tool for robust activity tracking in small animals bit.ly/35LELOb

2nd pHD chapter is finally out! Check out our new method to track animal behaviour and savemany hours of student work. Thanks to the huge team that made it possible. @Dr_Akito and Dr. Theobald for support. Photos: @samueltfabian.tinyurl.com/yckwf76m. See the thread below.

New methods paper in @BritishEcolSoc @MethodsEcolEvol from @mothyash provides an automated, portable, & low cost tool to monitor small animal motion in any light environment. @InsideNatGeo @FIUCASE @imperialcollege @FloridaMuseum @Dr_Akito tinyurl.com/yckwf76m #insects

@SallqaTuwa Hi there! I am the student in question-- I would love to chat with you. What is the best way to get in touch?

A student in our lab is in need of a quick 10-15 minute Zoom interview with a scientist for a SciComm class. The interview can be with a scientist at any point in their career! If you have ten mins to chat about your recent research, please PM me!

iNat user dineshvalke saw several - and by "several" we mean "thousands" of #harvestmen in #India - it's our #WildlifeWednesday Observation of the Day! More details at: inaturalist.org/observations/6… #nature #biodiversity #animals #invertebrates #wildlife

Okay, Pro-tip here for Microsoft Office 365 users: Editor > Settings > Inclusivity. Tick the boxes. Your spellchecker will now help you to start overcoming your subconscious biases. (It's a brilliant feature. I wish they'd make more noise about it).

Our lab fully supports diversity and inclusion and opposes racism, bigotry and hate. The lab is committed to taking actions that help dismantle systemic oppression. We hope other labs also do the same. #BlackLivesMatter #blackentomologists @FloridaMuseum @UF

@DansbyHailey and @kkbugtime from @KawaharaLab are ready for their @UFEarthSystems supported outreach program to kick-off. They will be bringing live caterpillars to #Florida classrooms near you soon! ❤️🐛🦋

Visited the amazing Jennifer Angus exhibit at @MFAStPete today. The elaborate insect displays were breathtaking! The artwork expertly marries science, visual art and literature to comment on climate change ethics.

Here’s a link to recent invited talk I gave on insect declines. 10 action items that every entomologist/bug enthusiast should do regardless of background, profession, orientation listed. Action’s needed if goal=improve public insect interest & save insects bit.ly/2PpcMcu

I recently wrote an article about @eatchirps! We love bugs in all their forms spoonuniversity.com/lifestyle/chir…
