Struggling with the recent news about the NSF GRFP — so I used that energy to make a silly video. This is truly devastating to all the second year graduate students that had such a prestigious opportunity taken away with no notice or explanation #gradschool #grfp #nsf

A mesmerizing emergence from 📍 #WaughBridge in Houston tonight. Emergences like these remind me of #starlings. What do you think?

Project Gotham is making news! I was first introduced to the excitement (and challenges!) of independent research in community college and now I’m a part of a program with @arummel.bsky.social and Tyler Olivier that provides that same opportunity to other students. A fulfilling, full-circle moment.

Could roost microclimate drive facultative migration patterns in Mexican Free-Tailed bats? Come tomorrow to session 2 of the Texas Biodiversity Symposium to learn more! #RiceUniversity

I encountered three unfamiliar species on campus today. I found the lady bug-looking one to be the most interesting. What was your favorite species find this year?
