If you just finished your #ica25 obligations for the day and are wondering--yes, #NoKings protest is ongoing at the Denver statehouse.

If you're at #ICA25, would love to see you at our Ohio State reception tonight 7:30-9:30 in the Hyatt Regency, Level 3, Mineral D.

Headed to #ICA25! In the meantime, wondering if there are any #arachnologists or #scorpion experts out there who know the species of the critter below we found in Tuscany. Italian scorpion?

For any fans of bad horror films, this shot made it look like a Ghoulie:

Sorry to the turtle friend for the prodding to keep it from going back into the road. The only injury I could detect was some blood on its head, so I hope it's okay.

I freeze framed a couple of shots from the video. Mid-snap:

Sometimes friends wonder why I carry certain tools in my bag. Welp, this is one reason snake hooks are real handy.

Snapping turtles aren't known for their hospitality. I'm sure it wasn't feeling any friendlier after being accosted by a pickup...

For #TurtleTuesday, here's a large friend I found in the middle of a blind curve in #Kentucky. Shell just under 2 ft long. I had to park and run back about a quarter mile, and unfortunately I saw him get clipped by a truck before I got there. But, he was still moving...

Enjoyed having ornate tree lizards as roommates during my fieldwork. They always found clever places to blend in!

Haven't found any #Arizona toads yet for #ToadallyTuesday. I don't know if there's a #lizard post day, but here's a Greater Earless Lizard.

When you find out the NCA deadline has magically moved 5 days earlier than it was in January #nca25 💀

I missed #SnakeSunday, so I'm going to declare today #WigglyWednesday. It's super cold here in Ohio, so here's a picture of a cute little scarlet snake trying to snuggle with me on a chilly 65 degree evening in south Florida.

Happy #FrogFriday! Here's a Southern Leopard frog we spotted in Florida to leap into the weekend with 🐸

For #ToadallyTuesday, here's a stout li'l Southern toad in the Everglades. I love how unflappable they are when you approach them. 🐸 #toads #herps #herping

Love the pics! We haven't seen any rat snakes yet--very cute.

It was warm so pretty successful herping last night!

I desperately wanted to see a cane toad at #ICA24 in QLD, Australia, but no dice.

I did not know they are proliferating in Florida. Went looking at night and found one on my first try 🐸

Thanks to The Columbus Dispatch for hosting this community event, and for their recent investigative reporting on missing persons in Ohio.

If anyone else is doing research in this space, LMK!

"Don't bother reading the article...let #AI do it for you."

Oh hell no.

Google Scholar has already done irreparable harm to the literature by its recency bias and promoting pay-for-play journals in its algorithm. Now it's encouraging scholars not to read what they cite... 💀

This looks like a great research opportunity for UG students in #interpersonalcomm or #familycomm: NSF-funded 9-week summer program: undergradresearch.missouri.edu/interpersona...

I'll be catching up with all the new folks to follow soon, but in the meantime, welcome! Re-networking is an effort, but also an opportunity. I look forward to #commsky growing.

If you're new, find a second scroll to brighten your feed. I recommend #birds! Here is a toucan at the Nat. Aviary:

I asked Microsoft Co-Pilot what social science journals have policies about using AI.

Not only did it fail, it a) referenced an MDPI journal, and b) suggested the journal is "ensuring that ethical considerations and best practices are followed." ☠️
