Twitter might be going down. @beatty is trying to preserve the Science Twitter Graph.

Go to https://opencheck.is/scitwitter, provide your Twitter handle and your @ORCID_Org ID - that's it!

Just for fun, I visualized the network: http://leonlotter.de/twittergraph/graph.html
When I ran the code a few minutes ago, we had already around 600 nodes and 5000 edges in the network!

Very pleased to see that @firefoxx66 can start her own lab at @SwissTPH.

I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with @firefoxx66 in my group during the last 2 years, and I’m looking forward to continuing collaborations.

Congratulations, @firefoxx66!🍾🎉

I'm not at #EntSoc22 in Vancouver, sadly - but four students from my lab are there, presenting on aspects of #Entomology and #InvasionEcology. If you're there, check out their talks (thread):

@danielbolnick or sediment that was sitting on top of the foam and drawn out by the currents?

@danielbolnick I will hazard a guess then ... Could it be some kind algae that have frozen in a shallow bit of water?

@danielbolnick In principle, yes, it might be something I'd buy and hang up. I like the transition in colors and composition with the diagonal lines. It might even be better once you reveal what is depicted.
Practically, we have a lot of bee themed art already, so it presumably wouldn't fit with that, I imagine?

@danielbolnick I have no idea, but I would hang this in my living room as art.

6/6 - So, do we find more, and maybe more diverse #NativeBee species, in regions of the Virginia landscape that have been indicated by #HoneyBees to be “good”? Join #PhD student Rob Ostrom (@[email protected]) on Tuesday 1:30 to 1:45 to learn more!

5/6 - In addition, because #HoneyBees are generalist foragers, we hypothesize that we ought to be able to use them as #BioIndicators for #NativeBees: Landscapes where honey bees find profitable food should be able to support native bees as well. For example, in England @[email protected] and I have found that honey bees were pointing their nestmates to a nature reserve mainted primarily for butterflies (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2014.03.072).
