Yo, #CIAC2018, other cephalopod/ocean lovers, and #EntSoc18!

The Science Comm. program @SkypeScientist has EXTREMELY DOPE SHIRTS that we're selling to raise some $ to run the program

We match scientists + classrooms for Q&As sessions!

Check it...

Really interesting talk by @theravenscraft at #EntSoc18 on the acquisition and fitness effects of Burkholderia symbionts by hemipterans (Jalysus)!

I've been jealous of all the #EntSoc18 tweets but I bet you Freddy folks are jealous now! @StephenBHeard @attreeline @robcjohns @emilyowenz Full day of snow, a lovely evening rain on top, followed by -7 later tonight.

Using a mic @ conferences (incl. questions at the end of talks) is essential.

You may be loud enough 4 ppl w/avg. hearing 2 hear, but not 4 ppl w/lower-than-average hearing! Use the mic.

I'm a loud person and only learned this recently thx 2 @gserratomarks!

Phanerozoic pO2 and the early evolution of terrestrial animals | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences Concurrent gaps in the Late Devonian/Mississippian fossil records of insects and tetrapods (i.e. Romer's Gap) have been attributed to physiological suppression by low atmospheric pO2. Here, updated stable isotope inputs inform a reconstruction of ...

Great talk by Sandra Schachat at #EntSoc18 on her recent paper about the causes behind the Paleozoic gap in the insect fossil record.

Tonight I crashed the Entomological Society conference. I tweeted that anyone who wore a shark outfit for a free beer from me. 3 people got free beers. #ENTSOC18 #JAM18

Questions I have for my new entomologist friends:

Would you rather fight a horse sized mosquito or 100 mosquito sized horses?

What’s the etymology of entomology and why do those words sounds so similar?

How do you explain your job to your family at thanksgiving?

Tonight I am attending a tweetup for scientists attending an entomological conference. This is extremely not the research I do, but I love meeting science communicators from any discipline! #EntSoc18

Hi #ENTSOC18 friends and welcome to Vancouver! I’ll be joining y’all for the tweetup tonight, and let me know if anyone needs suggestions of stuff to do in town! @EntsocAmerica
