Ph.D. student @ESPM_Berkeley & @calacademy working on arachnid evolution, conservation, & museum-based biodiversity. MS: @SFSU BS: @Cornellento he/him 🏳️🌈






A new study clarifies the evolutionary tree for a broad group of spiders and shows the power of extracting genetic info from museum arthropod collections. 🔗 Marronoids: The (Mostly) Little Brown Spiders With a Big Story to Tell entomologytoday.org/2023/11/30/mar…




Come through Azalea 1 now to hear me blab about how traditional taxonomy is broken and maybe how we can begin to repair past bias! #EntSoc23 🌈







Congrats to the record-setting ELEVEN @calacademy_ssi interns selected to present their research at @SACNAS — not just an incredible showing (+2 category winners!), but an amazing experience all around. Want to join SSI '24? More on our @NSF #REU program @ bit.ly/3pZjTNX

Our latest paper on marronoid spiders is published! 🔥 congratulations @jacobgorneau @ArachnologyNerd @sarahnopidae @katemontana98 @A_la_Baianesca and others Webs of intrigue: museum genomics elucidate relationships of the marronoid spider clade (Araneae) academic.oup.com/isd/article/7/…









A huge congratulations to @katemontana98 who lead a group of high school and undergrad students on an exploration of the @calacademy archives, publishing the biographies of 7 marginalized scientists in @ssbbulletin! ssbbulletin.org/index.php/bssb…
