If you’re on Twitter right now, you are not the kind of person who is going to miss out on big picture analysis long-term.
I think the thing to do today is focus on stuff that’s close, stuff you believe in, stuff you’ve gotta do, and stuff that brings you joy.

Don't miss out working with one of the best and kindest scientists I know!! Neil Rosser’s lab at the University of Miami is currently recruiting graduate students interested in the evolution of tropical biodiversity

Donya shared the California blood worm, which forms these crazy tangled conglomerates for defence, but can disentangle incredibly quickly. this video shows them in their horrifying glory, plus some biotech research that's happening with them - youtube.com/watch?v=615LmMNB…
Lastly, Luca shared the fungus that parasitizes the brood X cicadas, leading to one of the most... unexpected Scientific American headlines I've ever seen scientificamerican.com/artic…
ALT a hand full of cicadas, each of which has a white fungal growth on the end of the abdomen.
Maybe I've been working with caterpillars for too long, but this is the cutest thing I have ever seen.

Our new @CurrentBiology paper provides a rare glimpse into a morphological novelty in Drosophila eugracilis
In it, @gavinrrice and colleagues, infer and reproduce the likely initial steps of a novelty's formation

I'm super stoked to announce that I will be starting my own lab in January at Clemson University in the department of Biological Sciences!
If you're interested in working on seasonal plasticity in butterflies and moths, feel free to contact me!

European butterflies have been studied intensely by scientists and naturalists for centuries. It is therefore with some surprise that we wish to report the discovery of a European hybrid lineage of butterflies that has persisted for more than 50,000 years. (THREAD)

Round 2: here’s more on the scientific racist story from yesterday’s thread. This time, it’s focussed on the access and utility of Biobank data to fuel their ideologically driven agenda.

This thread and article are deeply troubling and a must-read for those of us working in genetics and genomics. Race science and eugenics are back in full force, and we need to be ready to look this in the eye and deal with it.
