friendly reminder that socialist mayors governed Milwaukee for nearly half a century from 1910-1960

I'm excited to announce that my lab is moving to the Department of Biological Sciences at Florida Atlantic University in January next year! Can't wait to join amazing new colleagues and be able to run outside year round to work with lizards on campus and sea urchins at the FAU Marine Lab!

Check out the recent publication in Annual Reviews of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics where the authors explore genomic species delimitation in depth. You'll see a number of #sciart figures I created to help explain some of the concepts!

A university in Milwaukee is stuck with ICE as its tenant after the agency refused to leave a building the university intended to renovate. Now, the building is being used as an office for ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations, who lead Trumps deportations.

The Milwaukee School of Engineering is largely powerless to kick ICE out of a building it wanted to turn into a new academic center, according to audio of a meeting obtained by 404 Media.
