For #InternationalMuseumDay we reflect on the importance of museum collections, which are not only used for display but also education and research. Collections are at the heart of everything that museums do #IMD #IMD2024 @IcomOfficiel @AmgueddfaCymru

The first paper from our collaboration with @Iziko_Museums is out. Descriptions of new Arabella species from both UK (A. ampulliformis) and South Africa (A. umgazanae) will support accurate identifications & give clarity on Arabella iricolor #WormWednesday doi.org/10.1080/15627020.202…

FYI @WITN, these large, non-native crabs have also been found in coastal NC, and there are multi-agency efforts asking the community to help track them. deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/m… @NCDEQ @NC_DMF @NaturalSciences @BWWilliamsLab
The Department of Natural Resources has reported the blue land crab is being spotted north of their native range, on the coasts of Georgia and South Carolina. witn.com/2023/12/21/wildlife…

Intern Christa May is really getting it with inverts data entry, learning to catch when there are other phyla collected along with the target! This attention to detail expands our collections in really interesting ways.

It's to early to know the spread or impacts of the Blue Land Crab in NC. That's why scientists need your help.

Please share: I am still recruiting a master’s student to sample mussels in tributary systems of the south-central plains ecoregion in Arkansas. Position starts in January (2024).

One of my favorite projects to date is out today in Frontiers for Young Minds! @ColleenEcology, @MoniquePipkin, and @CorrieMoreau and I wrote this piece to communicate the value of natural history collections to young learners.

I received tissue samples from ~30 species, most of which are from the deep sea. I wonder how much money it cost to gather these. The value held by museums is insane

Speaking of spoonworms @NCReserve and @NorthCarolinaEE! I am always up for searching for more of these amazing animals. We found the one showcased here @uncims tucked in a bivalve shell.
What the heck is a spoonworm and how is it "surprisingly elegant"?
@BWWilliamsLab, our Research Curator for Non-molluscan Invertebrates, took @MyPBSNC under the microscope to illuminate the moves of this strange & fascinating creature. Watch here: video.pbsnc.org/video/what-i…

We've been finding sand dollars with this orange ring on them. Did you know it's caused by spoon worms living inside the sand dollar skeleton (AKA test)?
