What an absolute joy and privilege to see @corriemoreau.bsky.social give a beautiful talk for her SSB Presidential Address at #Evol2025 this morning! A beautiful interweaving of scientific and bigger-picture lessons for us all. ❤️🐜

Always a bit in awe at how beautiful these Cephalotes clypeatus are (so much so that they inspired my lab's logo!).

No better use of a break in the work day than poking around in the collection here at @nhmla.bsky.social! So excited to steward, use, and grow this collection over the coming years.

One of the last tasks of my Ph.D.: depositing voucher specimens from my dissertation work.

Pretty neat that ants collected by me- and my dad!- get to live next to those collected by @corriemoreau.bsky.social and E. O. Wilson! 🐜🤩
