@fishandfreckles I definitely link to this on our LMS and go through the structure on syllabus day. I tell them I do not care about our shared humanity, but some people do @lportwoodstacer/how-to-email-your-professor-without-being-annoying-af-cf64ae0e4087" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@lportwoodstac…

@fishandfreckles If it matters (which it does), teach the expectations. I've found students believe me when I tell them, "Other people won't say it, but they're judging your terrible emails. I'm at least kind enough to tell you how to fix it"

Poll: does email etiquette matter? And why are students so bad at it?

I am so concerned about the use of plastic grass that if anyone on here is considering using it I will give you alternative advice ( free )as to how to landscape without it. If I can stop one square meter being layed it's worth the effort.

Holy crap our Shark Week paper made @waitwait ! Thanks @petersagal you just made my day. Read the paper here: journals.plos.org/plosone/articl… @dr_catmac @WhitenackLab @saltzyy @sharkmigration

Any Great Lakes/Midwest fish people know of fish pass usage by freshwater drum? Types they like/don’t like etc…

My lab is seeking applicants for 1-2 MS/PhD positions studying marine-derived freshwater fish radiations. Projects will include macroevolutionary genomics and/or phenotypic approaches. Please email or DM for more info.

Was splitting Shale rock out on my front porch when all of a sudden boom! A nearly complete Olenellus sp. greets me who a "hello" after 521 million years. The Shale comes from the Lower Cambrian Rome Formation in Montevallo, Alabama.

For the seventh consecutive year, the largest source of planet-warming greenhouse gases in the United States is a coal-fired power plant in Alabama. 🏭 Read about it: al.com/news/2022/12/a…

Wrapping up intro biology lab research presentations in style. Hand knitted and designed- every major phyla covered in the class ... and a few prokaryotes and viruses because the microbiologist in my department insisted 😊 I'm sure @markowenmartin would approve of the decision

@FixoTweets @wawisloyola Could I request a copy of the pdf? MHayes at SUSCC.edu

@wawisloyola tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… yes, we researched this.

Dee Kent, then 77, was on her way from Valley, Alabama, to a doc's appt. in Opelika when she was pulled over. Police cuffed & arrested her for failure to pay a $141 trash bill. She said her husband had recently died, and she sometimes forgets to pay. (1) bit.ly/3utTdDq

Postdoc position in comparative genomics - The Hamilton Lab is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to help us understand the evolution of spider genomes.

We are still looking for 1-2 people willing to volunteer a few hours a month to become one of the co hosts for the show. Each host puts out one episode per month. All training is provided and a microphone can be provided too. Reach out if interested!

I still feel this one, as I work through the last of my final assignments from UCP.

@bedurah Nooooo

One of my favorite ichthyologists Jon Armbruster talking catfish @LSU_MNS

Wildlife biologist phones will be like "here are some special memories just for you" and it's literally a picture of a dead animal you found on the beach.

Explaining memes to my colleagues like:

Beauty and beast~ swipe to see the wild looking larvae of those delicate lacewings! #insect #insects #Entomology #sciart #scienceillustration #nature #lacewing #DigitalArtist #illustration #ArtistOnTwitter

Recently read a quote that shook me to my core: "you only have a slightly better chance of becoming a tenure track professor as a professional athlete or rock star, and the money isn’t nearly as good" I know this already, right? But still is scary seeing it laid out like this!
