Calling all salamander experts! @cathyjachowski , @art_n_herps and I are trying to assess rarity in Southeastern salamanders. But we need your help. If you have 5+ years work experience with salamanders, please consider taking our survey. There’s a prize. Please retweet. @SEPARC

This is outragous! Natural history collections are irreplaceable and critical for research. I signed this petition and I hope you will too. #CollectionsAreEssential

Aspiring doctoral students, come study caddisflies at Clemson under one of the best, Dr. John Morse. This is a super-exciting, multinational collaborative project!

It's strange to host an academic job search workshop during a time of such intense pain and suffering in the world. But we need support in all areas of our lives, both monumental and mundane. Join us Thursday and bring your full self to interviews & more. breerose.aweb.page/p/8fcc2f30-6f2…

@AdamHartScience I’m about to blow your mind. Dinosaurs and pockets in one place. My daughter and I live in @SvahaUSA svahausa.com

🦎🐍 A reminder that there are TWO graduate opportunities in #RIEL and both application deadlines are 30 Sept 2023. 🐍🦎 Looking forward to hearing from you!

@HABrazeau 😬 I will say I think the schools I was at were pretty good with even pay… but admittedly it’s a small sample size😬😬😬 so that could definitely be true more broadly.

@HABrazeau Lol well… my only question is why the pay thing isn’t an issue for single men too? I already know why the baby isn’t 😬

@HABrazeau I only read the first😬 reading now…

@HABrazeau Also… for the record, I don’t think that women with kids should expect to have it as easy as women without kids. I just think that women with kids should expect to have it as easy as men with kids.

Excited to announce that I’m recruiting graduate students to study whether, and how, the gut microbiota of caterpillars detoxify plant defenses for their hosts. Interested? More info here: wfscjobs.tamu.edu/jobs/phd-posit… and here! ravenscraftlab.com

Is there a better way to spend Saturday night? #whiptails #Texas

@JuliaBauman2 @mfgrp One thing someone told me is ‘pick a project where either/all outcome(s) is surprising or interesting or important’. Don’t hope for the ‘good/cool’ outcome and have nothing interesting if the cookie crumbles the other way….. easier said than done but good advice

Can scientists be taught how to choose good projects? I took a fantastic class taught by @mfgrp last quarter where the foundational hypothesis is: Yes, they can! And I continually come back to these core insights as I think about project choice and direction in my 2nd year of PhD:
