Thanks to Renato A. Nunes and Shen Horn Yen for co-authoring the "Lepidoptera: Moths and Butterflies" chapter with me in the 3rd edition of Encyclopedia of Biodiversity! I learned lot while writing this. doi.org/10.1016/B978-0…

So happy to see Juan Angulo's first PhD chapter out. A great use of his time and the #NYBGscience resources (when Covid prevented field work) to research this understudied aspect of #Melastomataceae morphology and reproductive biology. Thanks to @ahungrybotanist for the collab.

Check out our new paper about sea star wasting!! Lots of cool analyses of existing datasets. Lots of hard work, but worth it in the end :)

Applications for the Workshop on Molecular Evolution at Woods Hole are due on January 29! Note that this is a bit earlier than usual. More info can be found here: molevolworkshop.github.io

Congratulations!! to EEB's Ana Carnaval for receiving the faculty Mentoring Award from the The Graduate Center

So happy to see Ana Carnaval being recognized! Soo well deserved Ana! I am incredibly lucky to have been your student and to still call you my mentor and friend. 🥳😘

What a wonderful day celebrating the recognition that very much also belongs to all of my research students over the years. Thanks for being there, BAJ!
