Nora Martin, Ph.D.

I was lucky enough to be interviewed by Vox, along with other researchers, for a story on Poison frogs. This wonderful write-up by the talented @BenjiSJones highlights my recent study. Check it out here! vox.com/2021/5/26/2245… via @voxdotcom

@seanonolennon @kaleidoscopebi 😞 beans are always saying nice things about you though!

@kaleidoscopebi Thank you. Yes.

Refried beans are always gross.

Encountered my first ever Yellow-spotted salamander while recording a Wood Frog. Hard not to drop the camera from laughter.

people that aren't neurotic -- what's that like??

@jxchong oh I see, that makes sense. my apologies

@NoraMartinPhD But for kids who are adopted or parents used donor gamete(s), their DNA did not come from a parent as they (preschool) understand the word “parent”.

Any tips on talking about inheriting 1/2 your genome from each genetic parent to 5-6 year olds in an inclusive way? "Mom" and "dad" may not apply to any number of kids (e.g. adoption, egg/sperm donors, LGBTQ families, etc) but I also have only 10 min of attention span tops

@PoisonEcology You know me so well, thank you for the greatest validation.

still really holding out hope that I get to live under a rock in a stream someday

I love the NSF GRFP!!!

When a reader doesn't understand, it's my fault for not writing more clearly 🧘‍♀️

@DavidBLowry @villouille @Agricoedu @colsci_papers life is confusing sometimes

Why is variation sometimes continuous, yet other times packaged into discrete units of diversity, such as morphs, ecotypes, and species? See our latest contribution on this topic, using stick insects cryptic colouration: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… @colsci_papers #evolution

@ThePhDPlace frog eat bug

Explain your research in 3 words or less.

Calling all ant folks

@JPLawrencePhoto Oof that's a lot! 😅

@NoraMartinPhD Oh, I'm not complaining (too much), I just didn't expect that I'd be writing 20 or more letters a year, particularly for undergrads who had me for one course.

Things I was not told when when entering academia: A not insignificant amount of time would be spend writing letters of recommendation. Three more requests today.

So very proud of my friend, Luísa! Who I've been in awe of since the day we met. Check out her feature in Nat Geo!!!

Wahoo! Robigo has been named the best student-founded startup in Boston.🎉

@NishanShettigar Thank you Nishan!!

@NoraMartinPhD Congrats Nora!!!

@nelsonjoshpaul Josh! Thank you so much 💚

@NoraMartinPhD !! Congrats Nora!

I want you to think about a fish. Any fish will do. Just picture it in your mind. You’re welcome
