A year ago today, Nature and Science both published news articles about the lack of a living wage for PhD students - both noted UF Department of Biology. Well, UF Biology has not changed and still lacks a living wage. Luckily, other places have changed. (1/n) Source: rhettrautsaw.app/shiny/BiologyP…

Trying Zotero to replace Mendeley ... Is this a mistake?! Noticed in Endnote you can't even drag/drop and have it read data off a pdf 🗑️

Okay the frequency of manuscript review requests is getting a bit silly, and worst thing is that most of the papers sound really interesting. I'm way above my 3:1 ratio this year, so I guess good practice at saying "No".

Happy Pride, Kentucky! This month we lead with love and celebrate our people for who they are. As the first Governor to proclaim June as Pride Month in the commonwealth, I am proud to stand with our LGBTQ+ Kentuckians as we work to build a better, more inclusive future for all.

Excited to share the latest paper by our team. Congratulations Ramses Rosales on a great collaborative paper- thank you Rʜᴇᴛᴛ M. Rᴀᴜᴛsᴀᴡ 🐍 for all the great mentoring of Ramses during the process. rdcu.be/ddHi5

New paper alert by lead Ramses Rosales! Venom sequence variation in Montane pitvipers largely mirrors divergence due to drift. Here is part of the coauthoring team (and the donkey) that helped us scale a mountain in Veracruz to find C. petlacalensis link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Calling all students interested in the 2023 Joint Meeting of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists #JMIH2023! You can apply for free registration in exchange for volunteering. Applications are due 6/10. More info and the application form can be found here: burkclients.com/JMIH/meetings/…

rclone copy googledrive: dropbox: AMAZINGLY FAST transfer/backup of ~6TB of crap I can't remember.

Proud to be mentoring two of these incredible, promising high school Aspirnauts this summer! They are resurrecting ancestral proteins 🦖!!!

Early career status should generate priority for earlier talk slots. Lots of students and postdocs talking on last day #evol2023 put all non-symposium tenured talks on last day? A simple way to ensure new folks feel more valued by avoiding low attendance rate last day?

Hello #JMIH23! I am recruiting PhD students to my new lab UVa Biology starting Fall '24. I won't be at JMIH to meet in person, but I look forward to chatting with interested students about opportunities in the lab - thanks for spreading the word!

Hey #JMIH2023 #JMIH23 my talk on Sunday might start with the words “Fluorescent fish” but it’s actually about snake venom 🐍 Apparently lots of people assumed I’d been assigned the wrong talk title 😆

We're the ASIH-DEIB Committee & we represent YOU! If you see any of them at the #JMIH23 take take the time to say hi and share your ideas, so more voices can be heard!🦎🐠Matthew L Holding Dr. Kassandra Ford Shanelle Wikramanayake Cori Black Kory Evans Ph.D. Matthew Fujita #REPRESENTATIONMATTERS

Cashner Student Awardees 2023 will receive tailored mentorship & networking opportunities, and 1K US to attend the #JMIH23. CONGRATULATIONS and thanks to all that donated to support ASIH diversity initiatives. Pls welcome and congratulate them!🐍🐠gofundme.com/f/y4f8e-suppor…

I'll be interviewing students this fall -- if you're interested in the evol biology of chemical defense (in poison frogs or fruit flies) please contact me. if you're a US resident/citizen, I'd love to support your process in writing an NSF GRFP! nsfgrfp.org

Our 2023 Aspirnaut students are wrapping up their projects, after spending 6 weeks immersed in hands-on #BasicScience research. We're so impressed by everything these high school scientists accomplished this summer & can't wait to see what their scientific careers bring next!

Field Herpetology of the Southwest starts in a few days!! 🥳 Guess which legged critter I am most excited to see this year!

I'm in Arizona, so you should expect a barrage of snake photos for a couple weeks. First, the king, the Western Diamond-pancake.
