Melissa Guzman, a 2021 fellow, just published her Liber Ero research on the impact of pesticide use on wild bee distribution! Check it out: nature.com/articles/s4189… and check out the USC press release: dornsife.usc.edu/news/stories/w…

10 minutes until a remote movie date night with a cutie from LA; somehow I still get so nervous, even at 30! Not even graduate school can stop lizard brain from working overtime.

Are you into bioinformatics and want to discover why insect pollinators are declining🐝🦋📉? We are generating amazing genomics datasets from historical collections and are looking for a postdoc 🤓 to help us analyze them! Get in touch to check for funding opportunities👀

We have a great list of ongoing award, fellowship and grant opportunities that we thought our members might be interested in. Check it out here: docs.google.com/document/d/1-x… #conservation #funding #fellowships #awards

Heads up! We’ll soon announce two postdoc positions in the Biovision Lab. One in AI-driven computational paleontology, and one in computer vision applied to biology (open-ended). Official ads to follow. Please RT! biovisionlab.com #Postdoc #AI #Paleontology

These giant tachinid flies (Tachnia grossa) are some of my most favourite late summer flies. If you're really really gentle you can hold them and see their beautiful yellow feets. These flies lay their eggs on caterpillars such as those from the Oak Eggar moth.

Greeting from my afternoon holiday walk through my favorite city in the world. Hope you’ve all had a restful Labor Day! 💪 ✨

When evaluating these shifts as a percentage of our expectation given warming rates, we find that species are tracking temperatures across latitude by 11%, across elevation by 17%, and across the breeding season by 28% (5/10)

So excited to see this research on range shifts and phenology shifts come out! Climate change responses are complex and multidimensional, and here Monte Neate-Clegg and I try to tackle this in a holistic way, and of course we do it for all North American birds 🤓

Two years post-defense, and I'm almost finished publishing the research from my PhD! Here's the latest paper out in Ecosphere doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.4…

Thrilled that our recent SERestoration paper on the resilience of aquatic species following #effluent flow restoration on the Santa Cruz River is featured in this Matthew Rozsa @salon article! #Tucson salon.com/2024/09/03/jus…

Did someone ever ask you why should we care about #spiders? Or maybe you wondered yourself? In doi.org/10.22541/au.17… we delve into the diverse spectrum of spider #ecosystem #services and their potential to inspire #nature-based #solutions. Figure by Jagoba Malumbres-Olarte CE3C

Rare pic of me and my sibs. The middle Shirey sibling became a husband tonight. Congrats to my younger brother Galen and wife Marlee! ✨🌸💕

Life of a data scientist: 4 local instances of R, 2 Python, and 1 remote RStudio session running concurrently.😵‍💫

Say what you will about the candidates, but going directly for that handshake was extremely well played.
