Wow, am I excited to share this work led by @renamschweizer.bsky.social! Bumble bees are declining around the world, and this team is doing the hard work to find out why.

Tarantulas are on the move in Soledad Canyon! The Chihuahuan Desert is so cool. #invertebrates 🌎

I had a rainy hike with the pups over the Labor Day weekend. We ran into this beautiful tarantula hawk along the way. 🌎 #invertebrates #insects

And a few more photos of the seriously beautiful butterflies we saw this week on our hunt for the Sacramento Mountains checkerspot butterfly. (2/2) #invert 🌍 🧪

This year I've joined the search for the endangered Sacramento Mountains checkerspot butterfly. It hasn't been seen since 2022, but we aren't giving up! In the meantime, we spotted some beautiful butterfiles within the historical range. (1/2) #invert 🌍 🧪

While everything in science is up in the air, we can (re)build a better community by changing tenure criteria.

Please share! The OSyM NSF network is offering $5,000 research exchange grants for organismal biologists to visit a lab or bring a researcher to their home lab. The work must incorporate modeling. This is an awesome opportunity! Applications due August 1st. 🧪🌏 #WomenInSTEM

Obviously, the Trump administration's cap on overhead was ill-conceived and intended to be punative, but I'd also be lying if I said I've never cursed overhead rates. Should there be a conversation about indirect rates? Who would be involved?🧪 #academicsky

It has been two weeks since the 2025 Quantitative Modeling for Biologists workshop at Ghost Ranch. I am so grateful to all of our participants for making the event a wild success and for sharing your beautiful pics! Thanks also to the Organismal System-type Modeling Network for funding the event.🧪🌏

So excited for our quantitative modeling workshop starting tomorrow at Ghost Ranch Education and Retreat Center in Abiquiu, NM! Probability distributions and gorgeous vistas, what more could we ask for?

The tragedy and senselessness cannot be overstated. 🌎🧪 www.bbc.com/future/artic...

The pathway for women in #STEM has never been easy or short, and this article explains how much harder and longer the path will be going forward #WomeninSTEM

While it’s unfortunate that honeybees are seeing die-offs, they are actually non-native livestock in the United States.

Plant some keystone species from your region and support the native bee and pollinator species!

Check out our new paper on the species status of two endangered bumble bees! We address an evolutionary question, compare phylogenetic methods, and explore (in)equity in access to advanced methods in conservation genetics🧪🌏
