Iago Bueno da Silva, PhD

So, I have a PhD in Zoology now :) What an adventure! Termites brought me a lot of good things, knowledge, patience (to dissect spermathecae and glands hehe), and good friends! So excited about the future!

@Fredligeiro24 @TrueSlazac This comment is pure poetry. Thanks man

@TrueSlazac That is because, unlike european people, most of us are civilized and dont treat WAR like something normal in our lives...

For all its instability, shitty governments and political crises, it's a miracle how few wars the continent has seen in the last 100 years

@TrueSlazac Tacos are not even popular in SA... If you're trying to be xenophobic, at least do some research first ;)

@joao_ms_neves Meu deus, amigo. Que família caótica 🫠🫠

@tocomleonardo O solo de Maceió está literalmente afundando e vocês preocupados aprovando esse tipo de merda?

Que orgulho ver a minha Lei fazendo o inferno tremer!

@kswichte Congrats 🥰🪳

Changed title to PhD candidate 🍾🎉🤙 one step closer to Dr. Swichtenberg

VII Symposium of Termitology is over! It was great to see so many special people (@tiagoias, @pfellipec, @SangBinLee4, etc.). So stoked to have received three awards in this edition 🪳🧠🏆 #termites #isoptera #iussi #PhD

@joao_ms_neves Vc é foda, bb ♥️

Differentiation of workers into soldiers is associated with a size reduction of higher-order brain centers in the neotropical termite Procornitermes araujoi @valadareslohan @termiteiago nature.com/articles/s4159…

@paleorocha "espero que entenda a pequena mudança"... Gente, que absurdo isso..

Divulguei meu artigão de revisão aqui esses dias e to muito feliz com o alcance dele. Mas preciso compartilhar algo ruim que aconteceu. Eu sou o primeiro autor desse trabalho, mas não é o que foi publicado. A Revista USP simplesmente inverteu a ordem dos autores

🚨PAPER ALERT🚨 Physogastric termite queens are awesome! Here we show that important protein-based secretions are released into the lateral oviducts as queens age and mature. Such a secretion is related to the notorious egg-laying rate shown by them. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@SangBinLee4 Wow! Congrats! 👏👏

This is the first pest management paper from my postdoc project! Now I'm able to talk about termite management 😀 After this project, I can confess that it was much harder to kill termites than I expected....

🚨🚨PAPER ALERT🚨🚨 Our study on neuroplasticity of #termites is out. Work-to-soldier differentiation results in size reduction of the mushroom bodies, a consequence of soldier specialization to defense. Thanks @valadareslohan for the adventure! 🧠🪳🔬 nature.com/articles/s4159…

🚨PAPER ALERT The last paper of my PhD thesis is out at BES! We followed colony development in major #termite pest species introduced in Brazil. Surprisingly, Coptotermes gestroi queens showed uninterrupted oviposition. Check it out the likely reasons! bit.ly/44SKASt

🚨PAPER ALERT🚨 Third article from my PhD is out! Queens of the drywood #termite C. brevis show important morphophysiological and morphometric changes in the #spermatheca and colleterial #glands as they age, mate, and lay eggs. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

@symtermes @SangBinLee4 @lee_sangbin @uflorida Awesome! I'm looking forward to seeing you there @SangBinLee4

E com muita honra que temos o prazer de anunciar nosso primeiro palestrante principal internacional 👆😉🤭 E é nada mais nada mesmo que o Dr. @lee_sangbin O Dr. @lee_sangbin é doutor em Entomologia pela @uflorida e atualmente é Pesquisador Associado na mesma universidade.

@pesquisas_2022 Lata amassada da p*rra bicho kkk

🚨NÃO É PIADA: Jair Bolsonaro (PL) fez um ensaio fotográfico após se tornar inelegível. As imagens foram publicadas no Instagram de Fábio Wajngarten, o advogado do ex-presidente

@Metropoles Que lata amassada, véio kkkkkk

➡️ Fabio Wajngarten posta foto de Bolsonaro e declara apoio ao ex-presidente "Vítima, dessa tal DEMOCRACIA, que joga há muito tempo fora das 4 linhas, não por palavras e sim por atos e decisões. Fique firme, tamo junto, SEMPRE", disse.

@Jay_Hosler Thanks, Jay!

I've just finished my Nautilus using pointillism 🥰

@brunahanger Obrigado, querida 🥰
