Testing out our new camera in the field and loving it. The little critters we found tonight have some amazing flash patterns, they’re like little strobe lights! Just another day in the life of my intrepid lab ;) @lmb9681 #bioluminescence

Penn State bans outing clubs. Venturing into the forest is too risky, apparently. Still allowed: 90 sororities and fraternities, plus a football program. centredaily.com/news/local/e…

3 Penn State clubs lose recognition, university says they're too risky

Penn State Outing Club, Nittany Grotto Caving Club and Nittany Divers Scuba Club are losing their recognition at the end of spring semester with Penn State after risk assessment.

This is why they call them Glassfrogs. Hyalinobatrachium dianae is also known as Diane's Bare-hearted Glassfrog. It’s found in Costa Rica at mid altitudes. Amazing photo is by Jaime Culebras.

<Lab meeting today> Grad Student 1: While getting a vasectomy last week, I said to the Doctor that I was in Psychology. He asked if I knew Brian Nosek and described loving research on reproducibility. Grad Student 2: Kind of ironic that he loves reproducibility.

Roger picked up this beautiful Coachwhip (along with 3 Western Diamondbacks!) at a home in Tucson. All were released to nearby desert.
