🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 he’s there everyday!

Thank you! I really appreciate it!

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

💜💜 life has been lifing but I’ve been resting and recovering

#FindThatLizard My daily lunch view edition.

FYI #FindThatLizard will be returning in just a few weeks! The end of 2025 was especially hard on me and I really needed this break but I’m so excited to get back to it.

I’ll share more soon.

Stay tuned 🦎💜

Haha it’s one of the best parts! A perfect comedic break 😂😂

Same to you!!

🤩🤩🤩🤩

Some of my friends introduced me to peanut butter, honey, and banana on toasted bread and let me tell you, I’m obsessed.

As a thank you to all of the amazing people who have supported me over the years, I’m offering 25% off #SciArt and #ScienceFashion on #Etsy until Dec 7 (www.etsy.com/shop/beatasc...). Hoping to have more time to focus on my art soon, so message me with cool ideas for designs or collaborations!

I sat with this lizard for a solid 20-30 mins and he kept posing! Let me get real close and everything. He was definitely king of that rock and wasn’t gonna hear otherwise from nobody lol

There’s always next year! Lol

If only those detox teas actually worked and drained everything out 😭😭

Don’t forget about the #FindThatLizard Scholarship!! Please share

😂😂 like bro be chill

Why are gallstones so painful?? They are itty bitty and yet I’m over here struggling.

I had a particularly bad flare up and I thought I was dying 😭😭

Our #SciComm booth at LA Comic-Con was all about the science behind #Pokémon! It was a joy to see people of all ages engaging with our activities and creating DNA jewelry. Thank you @afroherper.bsky.social, @cosplayforscience.bsky.social, IF/THEN and the Ecologik Institute for this collaboration ❤️

😂😂😂

Not surprised. I found an almost intact mountain lion cub carcass and lots of deer bones out there

There are so many small natural wonders around us. We should all make time to explore these more in our daily lives. I bet it would bring a lot more joy than you'd think.

Just like if you #FoundThatLizard! Let me know in the comments if you spotted it!

You might be asking yourself, "Why did you even need to do that research?" or "Why do we care about this?"

1) We need this information to inform wildlife management plans that conserve our species.

2) It is fantastic to seek knowledge just for curiosity's sake!

This tends to hold for most lizards that are sit-and-wait predators vs active foragers. This helps when herping because even if you scare one of these lizards into a hide, if you walk away and give them 20 or so minutes, they'll come back out and hang in the same spot.

What I found was that these lizards preferred rocks, rock walls, and fallen logs, which matched the existing literature. I also found that they didn't have huge home ranges. In fact, I would routinely see the same lizard on the same perch at the same time every day of my surveys.

I always knew that I'd work with animals, but I never thought my main study organisms would be lizards. S. jarrovi is the first lizard I ever got to study. I examined their microhabitat choice and the extent of their movement within their territories for my senior thesis in college.

Can you #FindThatLizard? You're searching for an adult Yarrow's spiny lizard, Sceloporus jarrovi. Since the scholarship recently opened, I figured that I would highlight one of my favorite species.

It was delicious!

When you’re bestie is making dinner so you hurry over even in the rain

Yaaay!!
