@ProfAndyField @CaAl You can just follow the #RStats tag on Mastodon... It's a fairly busy tag.

@CaAl I was talking about threads … maybe I need to revisit m-don.

The dearth of academics on the ‘other’ site is quite impressive. Any stats/R people on there? I need some people to follow other than rock bands.

Want a backyard beehive? 🍯 #VTCALS and @VaCoopExt beekeeping expert James M. Wilson has plenty of tips to offer about starting up and tending to a personal beehive. 🐝 ⤵️ vtx.vt.edu/articles/2023/… #Pollinators #Beekeeping #Bees #Honey #VCEresources #VaCoopExt

Today at the Radford Public Library some of our graduate students showed off insects and other arthropods to very excited kids! 🕷🦂📖 They got to learn about beetles, grasshoppers, scorpions, spiders, aquatic insects and more. Thank you to the library for inviting us!

@Shannon_VTbugs @EntsocAmerica #2 was not impressed with that oversized bug.

I’m super proud to have presented on cataloguing pollinator habitats at Virginia golf courses @EntsocAmerica , watch VT take home awards, and of course to have met some amazing entomologists!

Congrats to 3 VT students who won awards for their presentations at the @EntsocAmerica Eastern Branch meeting! PhD students Laura McHenry, Fernanda Vasquez-Valverde, and undergrad Lillian Chiang each won 1st place in the respective competition categories! Congratulations you 3!

What a complete honor to share the stage with these incredible scientists, especially @fervasquezval!!! Couldn’t wipe the smile off my face for the last day of #EBEntSoc23 🤩🐝🦋🪲🐌 @VT_Entomology

Best way to close #EBEntSoc23 Congratulations to all my fellow students awards winners! Specially to @LCMcHenry! #Hokies @VT_Entomology

@TomKuhar Congratulations! I hope you feel better soon!

So I got Covid and was unable to make it to the ESA Meeting in Providence, RI, but several of my students past and present grouped together and accepted my IPM award on my behalf. Very cool.
