A call for a bee phylogenomics PhD student for fall 2022:
Come work with me and @thecriticalbee at @WSUEntomology. Looking for someone with an MS & experience in bee systematics, bioinformatics, and/or molecular work.
See the posting & get info at: murraylabwsu.weebly.com/blog…

A connected PhD position from our Bees of the World grant. You'll get to collaborate with a diverse team of academic and government researchers on a very important topic. Apply now either for WSU or USU! @thecriticalbee @DanforthLab @PhyloSolving

& of course, we have no doubt that she'll still be sharing her research on the role of woodlots, forests 🌳 and hedgerows in supporting 🍎 & crop pollinators 🐝🦋. Trees for bees! :)
Congratulations Kass, and best of luck on your new adventures.
Kass will be based in NJ starting in 2022, but the job will include travel through the region for extension talks and conservation plan development, so I’m sure we’ll see her again soon. 🌾🐝🚗🚗👩🌾🙋🚗🚗🐝🌻
Big news: grad student @KassUrban_Mead has accepted a job with the @xercessociety as a Pollinator & beneficial insect Conservation Planner and NRCS partner biologist for the Mid-Atlantic region. 🐝🌳🍎🌾

PhD Position: Interested in bee systematics, phylogenomics, and evolution? Apply to become a doctoral student with me at Utah State University and the USDA-ARS Bee Lab. I have a funded position available as part of a new NSF grant. Please contact me for more information.

Hey y’all! I’m thrilled to begin a new chapter of my career today. I’ve begun a postdoc with the @McArtLab in @cornellento! I’ll be studying the diverse lifestyles of fungi associated with native and non-native mason bees. #Osmia #Ascosphaera 🐝🧫🎉

Co-teaching an insect-plant #network lab for Field Bio is a highlight of fall here @cornellento - joy to teach w Julie Davis @ToxicPlantLab & Heather Grab @PovedaLab!
The Buzzline at @CUintheGarden was ALIVE today w wool-carder bees, bumbles, ambush bugs & crab spiders (etc!)

It's official, NSF has funded our "Bees of the World" project, which seeks to investigate global bee phylogeny and evolution using phylogenomic techniques. The team includes @PhyloSolving @thecriticalbee @DanforthLab and collabs.
congratulations to Laura Figueroa & @McArtLab for this well-deserved and exciting award!
Congratulations to superstar Laura Figueroa for receiving the @Ecology_Letters Early Career Researcher award!! #IncrediblyProudPI View her cool 2-min video here: drive.google.com/file/d/1v_f… Featured paper here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Each module consists of Background ( written for teachers), Vocabulary, Activities ( to introduce students to the biology of solitary bees), and Resources ( materials for use in the classroom!).
Please share widely, and we'd love your feedback! go mason bees!
In partnership with @crownbees, @CornellAgriTech,
@NYSMTP & @PRInstitution:
Grad student @bucknermarka & Bryan Danforth developed a FREE instructional resource for high school science educators to enrich their curriculum & foster understanding of bee biology & conservation!

today's the day! good luck, @thecriticalbee
Where, oh where can the time have gone?
Our very own Silas Bossert, @thecriticalbee , will be giving his final PhD defense seminar tomorrow, Wednesday, July 1, 2020 at 1:15 PM. We hope you can join us for:
"What can ultraconserved DNA tell us about the phylogeny of bees?"
we might be biased, but Silas is an expert at entertaining, detailed, and complex presentations, and his figures pretty much always blow us out of the water. Silas has taken many of these high-res bee photos himself!
A thesis defense not to be missed.

Beyond being a wonderful member of @cornellento, Silas is currently finishing up a Smithsonian pre-doc fellowship w Sean Brady.

Quarantine lab meetings cont.!
Rising 5th year @KassUrban_Mead shared about a cool review paper project w other @cornellento grad students.
And!! First lab mtg w/ new grads Nathalia Florez & Mark Buckner-so happy to have you & can't WAIT to do science together in person.
