Pulled the numbers for the purposes of haranguing the youth during lecture tomorrow. Guess which of these age groups will be living on this planet the longest?

Mood, heading into election week. Let’s do this.

Six GRFP letters to finish today! I'm gonna be busy, but it's also a good day when you can spend it bragging on some really great people.

Wissam is a fantastic scientist, and has followed his love of natural history and an intuition about behavior to design an experiment showing something important about how climate change will affect predator-prey dynamics in marsh ecosystems. Keep an eye on this one folks 🐌💜

Check out @_Wissam_J 's first chapter -- showing that heat waves force choices between behavioral thermoregulation and predator avoidance in marsh snails. With @ana_salgado22 authors.elsevier.com/c/1junU… @LSUNews @LSU_BioSci @lsuscience

Congrats!! @JanetMansaray gave a really beautiful talk yesterday.

Congratulations @fla_montano! This is a well-deserved honor.

This is such an awesome lab photo!

Lots of new grad students starting in research labs this month, including many who have been taught (in subtle or overt ways) that they need to fight to prove they belong. It’s an exhausting way to spend your career. So I’m re-upping this for anyone who needs to hear it today:

Two lab manuscripts accepted in 48 hours! Congrats to @Jamie_Phelps123, @saltyecoevo, @vaidya_ruj Heather Rodriguez and Emma Crable. And stay tuned from some exciting results re. hypoxia tolerance in oysters and pupal color polymorphism in butterflies!

Excited to read this!

Here's our full Fall seminar list for any regional folks who want to join us. It's going to be a great Seminar Series! docs.google.com/document/d/1…
