I’m excited that my first paper on spiders is out in @journal-evo.bsky.social ! We test the reciprocal selection between the extended and somatic phenotypes across spiders and found weaker bite forces in spiders that use a web to immobilize prey.

Abstract. Reciprocal selection between extended and somatic phenotypes is an active area of investigation. Recent research on the influence of web building

So, what have I been up to lately? I've been exploring the form and function of spider jaws at the Smithsonian NMNH. I expect to share some cool discoveries soon!

Cancer: The acute agony you’ve been experiencing will let up a bit and morph into more of a vague dread that’s actually much, much harder to endure.

As much as I love science and will miss my SICB friends, I'm so glad I chose to stay home this week. Doing what's best for your mental health should always be your priority. Besides, I'll see y'all at Evolution or (hopefully) JMIH this summer!

Does anyone know where to find examples of good job talks (or recordings of them) or just general advice on how to put together a good job talk?
