Leave it to R to give you those roller coasters of "wow I'm dumb" then 2 days later "holy sh*t I'm smart"

@coralonthemind @SeaGrant @rhodeislandsg @uricels THIS IS AMAZING! CONGRATULATIONS!

New paper out!

PhD opportunity for my wildlife people!

Great paper by some amazing women in science!! doi.org/10.1093/icb/ic… @niasymwalker @JoyahWatkins

Our review paper on insect-microbe-environment interactions is out! We discussed the context dependent functions of microbes and how microbes can drive multitrophic interactions. doi.org/10.1002/ece3.1…

Got some friends together to do a beach cleanup for #WorldOceansDay with @TX_SWMS. Nothing makes a marine biologist happier than clean water!

Some cool work from a fellow Rice PhD student. Check out her research!

@MaryamRFaghihi @scottpegan @RiceNatSci @RiceGradSchool This is SO COOL!

Female is ALIVE but playing DEAD to escape copulation ☠️💔 We could even see her slowly moving antenna while playing dead 🦟 or going fully active when male tried to mate with her!! #Synergus #Parasitoid_wasp #Thanatosis

I've been enjoying following the #WorldSpeciesCongress with @ReversetheRed1 . People should tune in if they have a minute!

@FelixJBerrios We welcome you with open arms! But we all feel like imposters here anyways so you'll fit right in!

Imposter syndrome is hitting me so hard lately as I prepare to move away from PR and a new chapter. I feel unprepared, I feel like I am not ready. Moving from PR to the mainland US is scary.

@rossin_ashley its the ankle mobility for me

Nothing quite as humbling as seeing the samples you built your name on #labgirl

When the boss is famous..

@Gnarly_Larvae You are not the only one who has fallen against this beast.. we still have boxes of these!

Did you know that you could buy individually packaged sterile microcentrifuge tubes? Me neither! Now thanks to a purchasing mistake, I have thousands of them! My deepest apologies to the future students who will be unwrapping these for years to come.

@DrSeaBove if you need more let me know!

@hengxing_zou and its going to be AMAZING

@pedrobrandfp I think every citation I have is just a little off. I must not be communicating clear enough! But I also think that we read what what want to see sometimes

Just had my first instance of "Thank you for the citation! But that is not what I said there 😅" Yay?

@MayaraNevesbio @DimensionsSci AMAZING!!!!

And off I go with fish 🐟🐠#teamfish I feel honored to be among women dedicated to persisting in Science. #WomenInScience Thanks, @DimensionsSci, for promoting this event.

@indigoglow_ It. is. rough. but also instead of worrying about what work I have to get done the next day I get to dance in the living room with my kids... so I get constant reminders of my 'why' which is an advantage I get

Whoever is getting a PhD and is a PARENT?! Step to the front because you deserve a trophy. I simply cannot imagine 😭😅.
