Consider Sharing Health Challenges With Colleagues (opinion) Being open with my colleagues about my cancer diagnosis has allowed me to access an enormous source of support and comfort.

I’m stuck in bed between chemo treatments for metastatic coloncancer, wearing a take-home chemo pump attached to my chest.

I wanted to share my advice that you can benefit from ‘Letting Your Colleagues In’ don’t need to struggle alone

What can we learn from Natural History Museums? @corriemoreau.bsky.social gives some examples! #evolution #scicomm #museums @ncse.bsky.social

It was great to host you Corrie and we had a full house in the audience for your fascinating talk

What a day of turtle/tortoise insects!! 🐜🪲 So good to catch up! Next time with @chemistophe.bsky.social?

It was such a treat to see you again @CorrieMoreau.bsky.social!! We’re still buzzing after a stellar seminar 🌟 turtle ants are amazing!

UPDATE: The 2025-2026 list of faculty and postdoc positions in ecology and evolutionary biology is out! Be sure to check out this active and helpful community run resources! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

And I got to visit the public museum quickly and entomology collection!

So excited that @corriemoreau.bsky.social will be giving a tangled banks seminar at NHMO today!! www.nhm.uio.no/english/rese... join us (also on zoom!)

If you are in Oslo join us tomorrow!

Excited to visit next week!

On the left, Moreau is shown speaking at a podium, wearing glasses and a patterned jacket, gesturing with her hands. On the right, text reads “Corrie Moreau – Teaching Evolution through Museum Exhibits.” Logos for Vanderbilt Evolutionary Studies and the National Center for Science Education appear at the bottom, along with a small photo of framed butterfly specimens in a museum display.

Museums aren’t just collections — they’re classrooms. 🦋🏛️
@corriemoreau.bsky.social's #Scopes100 talk shows how exhibits make #evolution accessible & engaging.

Kristine Bonnevie lectures 2025: Guardians of Biodiversity – The Vital Role of Taxonomists - CEES - Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Synthesis Open lectures on biodiversity from ants to ocean life, and how taxonomy helps us understand ecology and evolution. With Corrie S. Moreau, Cornell University, and Torsten H. Struck, University of Oslo.

Welcome to the Kristine Bonnevie lectures – Tuesday 2 September, with Corrie S. Moreau and Torsten H. Struck. On biodiversity from ants to ocean life, and how taxonomy helps us understand ecology and evolution. Venue: Helga Engs hus, Blindern, Oslo @corriemoreau.bsky.social @biovitenskap.bsky.social

Embattled US scientific society names palaeontologist to top job Neil Shubin, a University of Chicago researcher known for co-discovering a ′missing link’ fossil fish, will lead the National Academy of Sciences if ratified by members.

When Marcia McNutt's term ends next year, @neilshubin.bsky.social will take the reins at NAS to lead the organization through what may continue to be a fraught landscape for government-funded science.

#ScopesSymposim

Fantastic talks at #ScopesSymposium including by Sean Carroll, Paul Turner, Marlene Zuk, Jonathan Losos, Amanda Townley, & more. Can’t wait to share the importance of museum exhibits to teach evolution next @evolutionvu.bsky.social

Long layover so watching spotted lanternflies at the Washington Dulles airport #entomology #InvasiveSpecies

Freshwater insects are in decline, please complete our survey if you fish in freshwater!

Congratulations Christian! I am looking forward to reading this

I appreciated the message about the importance of science communication outweighing self doubt about accuracy and knit picky peers!

Want to watch my Presidential Address from #Evol2025 where I share who I have learned from, how I hope to pay it forward, what I have learned from studying ants, and how it is all of our responsibility to create equitable and just futures for everyone? Watch here: www.youtube.com/live/vkBD3fg...

Did you miss this talk? It’s now archived to the @evolmtg.bsky.social YouTube channel

amazing talk by SSB prez Corrie @corriemoreau.bsky.social this morning!

it was her videos on the Brain Scoop with @ehmee.bsky.social 10yrs ago that first introduced me to the field of evolutionary biology, so I don't know if I'd be here without her! such inspiring work! 🐜

Aww! That is so nice to hear!

And if you missed it you can watch it here: www.youtube.com/live/vkBD3fg...

Wonderful SSB Presidential Address by @corriemoreau.bsky.social weaving outstanding science with messages of how we protect our science through change, resilience, and communication 💕
