Everybody please come visit Wally our resident Titan arum who is about to bloom in the Indiana University Biology Building Greenhouse any day now! You do not want to miss this! And if you really can’t visit check out Wally Cam at iu.mediaspace.kaltura.com/media/t/1_fc... for 24h coverage!

A great time was had! Shout-out to Natascha Turetzek for hosting and all who took time to meet with me!

Something rather important happened last week, but I didn’t quite have the bandwidth to let it fully sink in. But no more! I hereby present to the world: Dr. Joshua Allen Jones!

…so short a time, and making many people’s lives much richer in the process. It’s been a pleasure and a privilege to have been part of that journey. @iubiology.bsky.social

Last week something special happened but I didn’t have the quiet to be able to let it sink in. The intrepid Josh Jones defended an outstanding thesis, advancing our understanding of the biology that binds dung beetles and their microbial partners in ways I did not think was possible in….

Dung beetles as models to study the effects of pollutants on development and cognition, pursued by the intrepid Miranda Towse at IU’s Animal Behavior Conference! @iubiology.bsky.social @iu-cisab.bsky.social

Concerned Scientists @ IU (& its student affiliate Advocates for Science @ IU) is organizing a TOWNHALL to discuss how to confront current threats to Science this Wednesday Feb 19, 4PM IMU Stateroom East - all are welcome, whether IU affiliated or not!

Two staff members learned that I like to take refuge in our awesome IU greenhouse to collect my thoughts and sometimes eat my lunch, especially in the winter - then they did this for me!

Thanks everyone for welcoming me here. I missed this!
