I love Letters to a Pre-Scientist week! This round, my pre-scientist pen pal (whose stem interest was "not at all") asked me about cool lizards. I doubt they've ever seen this buff worm! (Mexican worm lizard, Bipes biporus)

Curly-taileds are some of my favorite lizards, but unfortunately we don’t have them in Georgia… or do we?? One of the best things I’ve found in a cracker barrel parking lot! Check it out now in Reptiles & Amphibians journals.ku.edu/reptilesanda...

Always love working down in Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden.

Catching some great lizards all day every day and teaching high school students how we use them to study ecology and evolution.

Can’t imagine a better gig!

Amazing symposium on Sex and Gender at #Evol2025 So grateful to all the speakers for bringing us together to think about how to teach and communicate these complex topics @jacanamama.bsky.social Thomas Sanger @bio-eddy.bsky.social @cissyballen.bsky.social

Do proportional changes in neurons underlie behavioral divergence in Lake Malawi cichlids? Come to my talk at 4:15 in Olympia 1 to find out! #Evol2025

Had such an amazing time at the 2025 Evolutionary and Quantitative Genetics Workshop! Thanks so much to the amazing organizers and participants @pseudacris.bsky.social @lauraalencar.bsky.social @joelmcglothlin.bsky.social Patrick Carter, Jacqueline Sztepanacz, & Joe Felsendtein

Every night’s a great night when you’re catching lizards! Thanks Cox Lab for lending us your eyes 🦎👀 @coxevolab.bsky.social @jameststroud.bsky.social
