Science Twitter- these grad students were shot while in GA attending an Entomological Society of America Branch Meeting. Random shooting on the street. They are gonna need some help with bills while they recover. Let’s share this & help where we can! gofund.me/c538310f

Leaders and staff at Entomological Society of America and the ESA Southeastern Branch are deeply shaken by this event but grateful that these colleagues are on the path to recovery. We are confident that the entomology community's warmth and support will see them through this hard time.

This is why sustainable investment in One Health is so critical- understanding/preventing spillover and disease spread among animals is critical. 👇🏻 human case of avian flu in Texas raises alarm - POLITICO politico.com/news/2024/04/0…

We pay attention when it's foreign aid workers, because we know we can't just accuse them of being Hamas. But we should then recognize what that says about the utter dehumanization of Gazan civilians, and how eagerly so many are willing to participate in such dehumanization.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 to this thread. I grew up in evangelicalism and am thrilled to see the scientific community standing up to pseudo-science and its connection to insidious, regressive dogma.

Thrilled to have been a part of this fascinating project lead by @IacarusoNick19. While arthropod eDNA detection is well-established, detecting tick eDNA is a bit challenging. We offer up some ideas as to why. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ed…

I’m still accepting applications for this PhD on bat virus dynamics in Neotropical bats until end of April. Please RT!

A statement by our faculty at Columbia and Barnard. More to come. I am behind every word.

I AM NOT A LAWYER, AND THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE if you're going to a protest where you expect to get arrested it's extremely important to have arrest training. this thread will not be as useful as a proper training, but i can offer a few tips:

⚠️ BREAKING Bird flu outbreak in humans suspected on Texas farm It comes amid concerns that eight people in India may also be infected with bird flu. Nearly 2,000 chickens in the area have also been culled after the infections were confirmed.

This thread on how admirable the student organizers have been. The “kids” are alright.

On tonight's BBC News at Ten, the narrative about the campus protests moved even deeper into the realms of mendacious fiction. Earlier in the day the BBC led with a fake headline – "Rival protesters clashed" – even though the footage clearly shows outside pro-Israel agitators

When science meets art. This is one of the most beautiful figures I have seen in a review. The link to the article is here: frontiersin.org/journals/tropi…

Size matters… in tick-borne disease ecology! Ixodes pacificus nymphs (left) in CA have an infection rate of B. burgdorferi that is approximately 3x that in adults (right). Do your tick checks as both life stages can occur at the same time of year in certain areas. #ticktalk

Again, you may want to look up the history of societies post 1918 flu pandemic.
