Katie Fiocca, PhD

the best part about being an entomologist is when someone sends you a pic and asks "what's this?" and it is the grainiest most indistinguishable photo of an insect ever taken

Huge honor, and super proud of this one!

@LenhartFlyLab @EPosfai 🎉🍾

It’s official! The first student from the Lenhart lab earned her Ph.D.!! HUGE congrats to the incredible Tiffany Roach!!! Amazing work done by an even more amazing person. She will be very missed but we’re so excited to see what she accomplishes with @EPosfai !!

Our Tribe just received profoundly exciting news from Dr. Tadashi Fukami, who manages 'Ootchamin 'Ooyakma, also known as the Jasper Ridge Nature Preserve on the campus of Stanford University. Following a sacred fire tradition that the Tribe conducted at the site, biologists are now witnessing the return of a rare native plant that is endogenous only to the Bay Area. photos.app.goo.gl/BhFdUjZL8J7Pjy… "I think this plant can be viewed as a symbol of 'Indigenous awakening,' showing what is to come with the Muwekma," Dr. Fukami writes. jrbp.stanford.edu/news/intention… What a deep, beautiful, and glorious sign of things to come!! Thank you so much to Dr. Fukami for all of the extraordinary work that you're doing. The posture of true collaboration, friendship, and partnership that you have with our People is deeply appreciated. As Dr. Fukami has said many times, we all benefit from indigenous knowledge -- and everyone should respect these traditions, which evolved from indigenous science. fb.watch/u_fKDSfIJa/ #TrailofTruth #justiceformuwekma
