My 15-pound cat jumped from the top of his 5.5’ cat tree onto my head while I tried to sleep. Guess I’m up for another hour. Have I mentioned this cat is a demon?

Love this group and the work we do. ❤️

Remember when everyone would go outside at a specific time to scream during the pandemic? Why did we stop doing that?

The lineup for my #JMIH23 section is quite intimidating. How did I get put in the same section as the one and only Adam P. Summers?!

I am unsure if my throat hurts because of allergies, COVID, or wildfire smoke. What a world we live in. 🙃

I assume many of us feel this way after this academic hiring season.

I’ll be attending #evol2023 alone this year. Any labs willing to adopt me for the week?

If you are at #evol2023 and interested in spiders, come see my talk on Saturday @ 9:45 AM (Section EvoEco III in Mesilla)!

Why you gotta do this to me?

Hey all! I am Cori Black (she/they). I am an evolutionary biologist! Outside of research, I like to hang out with my cats and practice Muay Thai. I grew up on the Mississippi River and have been fascinated by fish since I was young. I am proudly #BiInSci

TRAVEL AUTHORIZATION APPROVED! See y’all Wednesday #Evol2023 peeps! (No worries my fish ppl, I’ll be at #jmih23 a couple weeks later 😉)

I’m going to try the new website. Find me there at ramennoodlecats(dot)bsky(dot)social

Here are my pocket spines. Ready to talk about catfishes at #jmih23

Please share: I'm recruiting 1-2 M.S. or Ph.D. students for fall 2024 at WSU Pullman ! The Corn Lab studies evolution & functional morphology of vertebrates, particularly fishes. More info: kacorn.github.io/opportunities

Heading to Norfolk for #jmih23! See ya when I get there.

NEVER ever say: "Hi prof" "Hello" "Dear Professor" "Greetings of the day" Instead use: “What’s crackin’, dork” “Howdy partner” “Salute plurimam dicit. Si vales, bene est, ego valeo” “Breaker, breaker, science shaker” “Honk honk!”

#JMIH23 was a blast! I had a great time moderating for so many fantastic speakers. I’m excited for next year! Thanks to Malorie Hayes, PhD and Hadeel Saad for the pictures.

If any PIs are interested in recruiting students lmk! I am broadly interested in sensory ecology, community ecology, conservation and computational methods! I have a wide range of research experiences! I will be at ESA and SACNAS and I would love to chat about opportunities!

Hello Twitterverse. Does anyone know where to find examples of good job talks (or recordings of them) or just general advice on how to put together a good job talk?
