How are people not creating tattoo selves of all these species description plates?! There are so many good ones!

Was just asked to speak at a public school. While researching the community, I found their mascot is a slur for people of short stature. How is this still acceptable?!

Needless to say, I will absolutely NOT be speaking there.

Here is the school website for those interested: www.fchs77.org

I’m Liz Carlen — a postdoc at Washington University in St. Louis. My research examines the impacts urbanization on evolution.

The @newyorktimes.bsky.social referred to me as “The Pigeon Stalker” (a badge I proudly wear).

And one time my research was on @saturdaynightlive.bsky.social
