Searching for a project manager for our NSF-funded mosquitofish mesocosm work testing 'adapt or die' responses to stress careers.msu.edu/en-us/job/5185… Based at @ArchboldStation with opportunities for independent research and travel to @KelloggBioStn . Please spread the word!

@RLarson92 you got this!

Optimistically, though, it seems more like a “this doesn’t fit the vibe of our journal” rather than a “this science is bad” rejection. The reviewer comments are largely positive and helpful, and will hopefully improve the manuscript for wherever it goes next

First first-author paper rejection 🥲 It had to happen at some point, right?

Excited to share the published version (out now in @PLOSGenetics) of the introductory review that I wrote with Mike Grundler and @gbradburd about ancestral recombination graphs! doi.org/10.1371/journa…

Excited to share this preprint with @tpLinderoth @popgenchen, Lauren Deaner, Raoul Boughton, and the late @reed_bowman: Translocations spur population growth but exacerbate inbreeding in an imperiled species biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Posting on twitter right now feels a little like putting up an informational flyer on the deck of the Titanic, but I'm recruiting PhD students to work on spatial population genetics in my lab at @UMichEEB!

@_bobweek_ 💜💜💜

@itatiVCS @michiganstateu It's so infuriating! Let me try to dig up the residency petition––I would hope buying a home in the state would qualify you! If I can't find it, I think I got the form by calling the registrar's office.

@meaghansaurus @michiganstateu what the HELL? we bought a house here? this is ridiculous

I am very tired of being charged out-of-state tuition when I am literally an in-state student who lives full time here, has my drivers license here in MI, and whose car is registered in MI, @michiganstateu. Everyone I email just sends me to a different person to email.

This Friday, KBS's very own Dr. Sarah Fitzpatrick (@SarahFitz) will give her tenure promotion seminar and share her lab's research on biodiversity conservation via genetic rescue. #MSUKBS #SciArt

@The_Bug_Girl @shophelloharlot @SamStraus_Ecol This makes me so happy Andrea! 💜 (also good luck moving!)

I haven’t seen my sis @shophelloharlot in 2 yrs bc of covid and being on visa in Canada. My lovely Vancouver friends incldg @SamStraus_Ecol were in cahoots w this awesome surprise

bruh

We are hiring a research asst / lab manager in the Fitz Lab! Full-time position based @KelloggBioStn, this person will help lead data collection/analysis for multiple conservation genomics projects related to genetic rescue; swfitz.com//join.php, please RT!

@SarahFitz @KelloggBioStn @ilborges @KE_Jaynes This is the best thing ever!

Have I mentioned how much I love the @KelloggBioStn undergraduate summer research program?? Thanks to Sam Pendrick for this amazing depiction of our crew this summer: Zahraa, Luanna, @ilborges, @KE_Jaynes, Sam, and @meaghansaurus ! 🐟🌱🐸🐍🐢

Exciting news! Stephanie Lugo González and I have officially launched the Jewelweed Leaf Trait #CitizenScience project! Please participate and share widely! inaturalist.org/posts/54355-di… [summary below] #scienceisfun #getoutside #REU #jewelweedleaftraits

@kirstyjean Congratulations Kirsty!!

Congratulations Dr. Rojas!!! It's been an inspiration to learn from your stellar example, and I can't wait to hear about your next adventures!

@ConnieLaBiologa @phylogenomics So excited for you!!!

@itatiVCS @mirandaconcolor @zachbbionerd There are several native crayfish species and at least one invasive one! Not sure what the regulations are re:eating them, and how we’d get enough to feed eeb!

@mirandaconcolor @zachbbionerd @meaghansaurus listen,,,,,,,,,,,,I will find some if it means I can eat Zach's cooking. crawfish boils are amazing

@zachbbionerd we need to have a crawfish boil

@RLarson92 I love how Brisket is ignoring the chaos behind him 🤣

Just a typical Tuesday afternoon shower curtain fight

@alackles That sounds like a great plant place! I would suggest maybe an aluminum plant or a sword fern? Both are pretty easy if you can remember to water them (and forgiving of overwatering), and neither need so much light that they would hate closed curtains on occasion.

@meaghansaurus Buuut when it’s TOO sunny I draw the curtains on that window because otherwise zoom meetings with me look like I’m broadcasting direct from inside a flashlight

what’s a good plant to keep on your desk at home if you’re dumb and can’t keep plants alive and also your cat will eat it?
