Associate Professor at #TexasTech. President-elect of @TxAcSci. I teach and research in the fields of #Freshwater #Ecology, #Invasion #Science, and #EnvironmentalDNA (#eDNA). He/Him
The Texas Tech Department of Natural Resources Management is hiring. Come work with me! https://sjobs.brassring.com/TGnewUI/Search/Home/Home?partnerid=25898&siteid=5637#jobDetails=823344_5637
@omearabrian @ProfBatGirl Thanks! Work like ours and from many others is showing that eDNA is relevant to so many fields- aquatic, terrestrial, marine, water, soil, air, and pretty much any taxa you want to focus on.
Prof Beth ClareWhat can you find in passively collected airborne dust over the course of a year? A LOT. Our new paper on airborne eDNA is out with Mark Johnson, Matt Barnes @drbarnes and Nina Garrett. The first long term study of animal eDNA in the air - all with passive collections. Very exciting at the prospect of long term terrestrial eDNA monitoring in remote locations without access to power. #environmentalDNA #ecology #eDNA https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/edn3.388
Andy GonzalezDo you often wonder whether we are communicating science effectively? I do.
This paper is good:
Why facts don't change minds: Insights from cognitive science for the improved communication of conservation research
Adresses 4 myths:
1 Facts change minds,
2 Scientific literacy leads to enhanced research uptake,
3 Individual attitude change will shift collective behaviors,
4 Broad dissemination is best.

Uh-oh. Someone accidentally sent a mundane email to a listserv of over 500 faculty at my Uni, and I've received about 20 "please remove me from this list" reply-alls over the past 20 minutes...
Professor Mark Osborn...and more still on #ChatGPT - this time on its ability to write a scientific article abstract.

Back to trickling my publication catalog into the fediverse...
One focus of my dissertation was the spread of #aquatic #invasive #plants. Although they live in the water, macrophytes often spread over land attached to boats, trailers, and other equipment. Intuitively, this seems like a very hostile pathway, but the data demonstrating that remain limited. Coauthors and I spent a lot of time watching plants dry to provide those data. #desiccation

Dezene Huber 🌻Making your #papers and #presentations as accessible as possible is vital for #inclusively #communicating your #science. This new paper (Guha et al. 2022) describes an #R #package – #scatterHatch – that assists in developing #accessible figures.
Title: "Generating #colorblind-friendly #scatter #plots for single-cell #data"
