A picture of an electrical box with an extremely rad skateboarding frog with curved letters on top that say willimantic. It is... extremely rad. The words superimposed over the image say "Calling all Eastern CT artists" We're making a biodiversity mural in willimantic

Artists of bluesky!

@skypeascientist.bsky.social & Willimantic Public Art are collabing on a community mural in Willimantic, CT in spring.

We're looking for Eastern CT artists who'd like to work on the project! The artist will be selected *by the community*.

Just gave my first presentation as a PhD student!
I shared my work on developing an interactive identification key for Lepeophtheirus, a genus of parasitic copepods and brought along a 3D printed model to bring these tiny parasites to life.

NONE in Life science?! NONE?!

Big things coming up! I’ll be presenting at the 100th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Parasitologists and heading to Malaysia for the 5th International Workshop on Symbiotic Copepoda 🎉🪱🦐

🐠💥2 year postdoc in fish sensory ecology!! 💥🐟
If you’re into animal colour, collective behaviour, predator-prey interactions, enjoy behavioural experiments and fieldwork, please apply! Based in Oxford with fieldwork in northwest Thailand (and elsewhere). Please repost! www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DNM294/p...

Does anybody have any experience 3D modeling? I have some questions

Nice model!!!

Title slide introducing me and the other panelists

In addition to my keynote address at the upcoming Society for Scholarly Publishing conference, I will be speaking on a panel about new innovations in the field of science communication.

(That makes 3 talks on 3 different topics in 3 days, and a total of 7 in May and June).

First attempt at 3D printing a copepod!

If you are a person who cares about the future of science in the US, please take actions this week to #SaveNSF. @asn-amnat.bsky.social @sse-evolution.bsky.social @systbiol.bsky.social are leading a week of action - here is a Media Support Tool from the societies docs.google.com/document/d/1... 🧪🧑‍🔬🧬🖥️🦑

This ethereal, translucent sea slug likely represents the rediscovery of a species not documented in over 160 years! 🦑🐚🪸

In December I accepted a position as a senior investigator at the NIH in the National Human Genome Research Institute & Center for Genomics and Data Science Research.

Bringing the party in the desert to Maryland.

We are hiring postdocs & postbacs!

Please reach out :)

I have my first committee meeting tomorrow and I am lowkey crashing out

I have to edit some new episodes (hopefully soon)

Repeat after me: these budget cuts are theft. Our elected officials are stealing from us. They work for us, and they are breaking what we hired them to protect.

Does anyone know of anyone looking for field/lab techs? My friend is looking for a position while she prepares to apply to graduate school. She has experience invasive species, plant pollinators, eDNA, and many other great experiences!

Thank you for making this!!!

Sci-Commers Join the conversation

I just created a Sci-Commers Starter Pack! Science Communication is CRITICAL right now, and there is more than one way to do it! Get some inspiration (+ fun!) from a variety of different sci-commers from various backgrounds (although there may be a bit of a marine bias here 💙). go.bsky.app/NMCFMcj

I was offered the opportunity by 🚨 Nat Geo Live 🚨 to help them create a film about the Galapagos Islands! 🇪🇨

I've created a TikTok account to take you on the journey with me!

Image showing the Hobson Lab logo (monk parakeets flying into a social network diagram with R code in the background), pictures of natural-colored green and gray monk parakeets, and head shots of our individually-marked birds showing their color combos and "names" (Blue-Orange-Blue has those colors on the head, cheek, and neck, and is "BOB"). Text says "Postbac position: parakeet sociality & cognition"

I am recruiting 1-2 postbacs for my parakeet sociality & cognition project! This position is for people finished with undergrad but who have not yet started grad school. Must be totally fascinated by parakeet social drama (there's a lot of it!)🪶🧪 Job ad here: ornithologyexchange.org/jobs/board/s...
