@CStrulluDerrien Great Q&A!!

It was nice to have the opportunity to acknowledge my grandfather and father's influence on my choice to get involve in Biology. Thanks to Anne Knowlton and Maxine Herman-Oakley for the invitation to write this Q&A article for Current biology authors.elsevier.com/a/1jTSh_LsQSQE…

Great opportunity to work with some bright and fun people doing importamt and innovative work! 👇

@FabianyHerrera @FieldMuseum @NaturePlants @moccada Nice!! Congratulations!! 🎉

Excited to share our new research about neotropical fossil grapes! #paleontology #paleobotany #grapes #wine #fossils #fossilfriday @FieldMuseum @NaturePlants @moccada #GregStull nature.com/articles/s4147…

@fieldomics I'm so sorry, Holly!! Thinking of you and E.

Devastated by the loss of our magnificent Pangur this week as he lost his short and courageous battle with lymphoma. I am grateful to have shared 8 years of life with him, and trust he is on to bigger and better things in the next iteration of his existence, whatever that may be.

@TobySpribille @TroyMcMullin @MuseumofNature love that one!

What a thrill to see #Cooksonia barrandei (432 million year old land plant!) at the National Museum in Prague!! 😀

@CStrulluDerrien giving a wonderful synthesis of her work on Devonian #fungi and #oomycetes at the International Organization of Palaeobotany Conference in Prague. It was great to finally meet and chat with her about old fungi!

Wonderful talks by @FabianyHerrera and @MikeDAntonio22 at the International Organization of Paleobotany conference in Prague. Great representation by @FieldMuseum folks!!

Had a blast at the International Organization of Paleobotany conference in Prague this past week! @CStrulluDerrien and I chaired a session on #fungi. I gave a talk on the roles #lichens have played in shaping terrestrial ecosystem evolution 😁👇

And see this great article by @kategscience on @CNN to learn more about this fascinating system!! cnn.com/2024/04/15/wor…

Hey y'all - please help some colleagues (@ImperfectFunGuy @Bee_Bytes) out w their work on the "flying saltshakers of death" (aka fungus-infected periodic cicadas") in the #Chicago region 👇.

@DavidHembry @JMUCSM @JMU A big congratulations, David! 👏

I am thrilled to announce that the Hembry Lab will be moving to the Department of Biology at James Madison University (in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia) this fall! The lab will be recruiting MS students and self-funded postdocs; e-mail me for details. @JMUCSM @JMU

@rafaelamissagia Way to go, @rafaelamissagia !! Very well-deserved! Super happy for you 🎉

I'm thrilled to announce some exciting news: I'll be joining the Zoology Department at the University of São Paulo as an Assistant Professor! Working in such an great institution is truly a dream come true, and I couldn't be happier.

@forestmycology @NickRajtar @FungalDuJour @dendropathprof @ColinPeters_222 @UMNPlantPath @andrewmann_ Glorious!

A super bowl I get to look at everyday - Blue stained Araucaria wood

@CyanoEvo 👏👏👏

Super super stoked to see our work on Lichina pygmaea in New Phytologist, with a great cover image by Chris Parkes and a commentary from Grube and Balestrini in the same issue.

@andrewlhipp @UChicagoPress @josephcalamia And filled with beautiful illustrations!!

@andrewlhipp @UChicagoPress @josephcalamia Congratulations! I know this will be a wonderful and fun read packed with fascinating and exciting info!!

@lovettbr @EstherNgumbi @EntsocAmerica @Cotesia1 👏👏👏

Incredible honored to receive this recognition with my co-chair @EstherNgumbi from @EntsocAmerica! It was a pleasure to work with @Cotesia1 and our committee in service of our discipline and members. Thank you! There is always more more to do, but we can do it together! #EntSoc23
