Amazing showing by the lab at #SICB2024 - such a great group of undergraduate scientists! 🦎🦎🦎 Katie presented data showing how close to you have to be to a competitor to shift your behavior (<2.5m!)
🌵🪰 Extracted some RNA on Thursday! I wonder if I'll receive data in time for my talk tomorrow in the "transcriptional responses" session at #SICB2024 XD Sunday 3pm in InternationalSalon8 🪰🌵
🧬🧪 Always nice when the transcripts in your de novo assembly match genes in closely related species and tissue type.
Sure, it's the bare minimum, but it's so good for sanity.

Two #pigeons on a #bird scooter in #Seattle, #Washington! Definitely one of my favorites from my trip to present my bumble bee research at #SICB2024

@misselasmo.bsky.social MISS is an amazing organization. I’ve been fortunate to attend some of their workshops at #SICB2024 and learned so much. Give them a follow!
Pubs from last years Immune Omics Symposium at #sicb2024 are finally here!! Really proud of this body of work and thankful for all our contributing authors!
(There’s some other cool science here too!!)

Wow… it took over a week, but finally took pictures and listed all my new 2024 pieces that were at #SICB2024 on Etsy & starting to update BlueBeehiveStudio.com with all the reference pictures and info. Work in progress!
A couple weeks ago, I gave a plenary address about public science engagement at the #SICB2024 conference. @SICB_
I summarized key points here if you would like to read...

🧪 I attended the Students & First Timers Orientation and was told that SICB conferences are a marathon, not a sprint ⛰️🏃♀️. This has proved to be true! I definitely was over eager the first day, leading to some unpleasant results. Be sure to always take care of yourself! #SICB2024 #AcademicSky
I received very encouraging feedback during my very personal presentation at #SICB2024 which was part of my Flow/Fluid Identities symposium with @mollycwomack.bsky.social. This is only the beginning of my journey in bringing sociology + history to the forefront of STEM

Hey #SICB2024 and colleagues, I have a student who loves to work w/turtles and is an undergrad graduating Spring from Cornell Biology. He's looking for a tech/lab assist position + looking at zoos + aquariums
Does anyone have connections/willing to do informational interviews?

It was such a great #SICB2024! And I'm so proud of my students and their amazing presentations!!
Had a great #sicb2024 in Seattle, WA. Learnt so many new things and met so many brilliant scientists!
