An analysis of over 5,000 fossils found dung beetles developed a taste for fetid meat significantly earlier than previously believed.

The 37-million-year-old discovery suggests fierce fecal competition drove some species to start eating flesh.

It was such a pleasure hosting this amazing scientist and friend, @samridhi.bsky.social, for this week's UK Entomology Seminar. Her science is 🔥. She is 🔥. And, our friendship continuously recharges my professional battery and soul. I'll swing by Tulane next time.

Did you see this experiment my colleague Kristina conducted not just at my university but *in my department*? She and the male instructor assumed eachothers’ names for an online course: and the difference in feedback they received was horrifying.
Student Evaluations Can’t Be Used to Assess Professors. They’re Discriminatory.
And that means they’re illegal.

I'm reskeeting this again to tell you a short story about quitting tenure.

In 2022, i was on the tenure track. I had research fellowships at Harvard, Princeton, and Smith. I cried on the plane to Boston. I cried in Boston in between seeing amazing books. I cried until i decided to go back home.
