Fireflies. *biased

My fav!!!!

I so look forward to getting these in my work mailbox. Now to claim my fav lunch spot and nerd out! Thank you anonymous gift giver!

We’re almost at the time when the blinking lights of our common firefly, the big dipper, will dot our evenings and beg a question — what do those flashes mean? trib.al/NTzd06Z

Reminder that this workshop is accepting applications until July 1. If you’re looking toward a #faculty job at a research-active #PUI in the future, check this out!

Sarah Lower, professor of biology at #Bucknell, was a guest on the Just the Zoo of Us podcast to chat fireflies and provide some tips for enjoying a summer bioluminescent picnic! 💡🔶🔷 #rayBucknell Learn more about Lower's work at Bucknell. ➡️ bit.ly/3IIp62L

Firefly science in ⁦The PA Wilds! ⁦Bucknell University⁩

Thanks for coming out and sharing the wonders of fireflies with us! #lightsoutforlightningbugs Jason Nark Lower Lab Bucknell University

Across the season, there are at least 13 light-using firefly species around the site of the PA Firefly Festival. At the festival this year, this brilliant crew is ready to tell you all about the ones that DON'T light up. #teamFIREmones ⁦Bucknell University⁩

In celebration of World Firefly Day, lab-reared aquatic #fireflies are helping to restore Bangkok’s ailing firefly populations ✨💚 Project lead & 📷 by Dr. Anchana Thancharoen Kasetsart University IUCN Species Survival Commission IUCN SSC Firefly Specialist Group Global Center for Species Survival

for bioGraphic, I wrote about being good stewards to the closest thing we have on Earth to stars made flesh biographic.com/the-galaxy-in-…

Lower Lab led a great night of firefly education this week, too. Learned a bunch and got to experience a pretty awesome storm with a bunch of other nature nerds.

Love #fireflies? If you'd like to learn more about them, we encourage you to join our Invertebrate Conservation Coordinator Sérgio Henriques on Saturday, July 15 in Kankakee Sands. This TNC in Indiana event is open to the public, but you need to RSVP. nature.org/en-us/get-invo…

Come join us! Love this department! careers.bucknell.edu/cw/en-us/job/4…

I really enjoyed seeing Bucknell University Professor Sarah Lower (Sarah Lower), #biology, and the students who assist her in her research on #fireflies featured in this story in The Atlantic. tinyurl.com/cpzx4shf

My favorite comic Randall Munroe is about my favorite critter today! What a lovely way to wake up! Also - truth - need flash patterns to ID a lot of these species - can't get those during the day!!! Panel 1 especially familiar to my research assistants #FIREmones

Researchers used citizen science observations and machine learning to understand where fireflies are and what they need to thrive. Sarah Lower from Bucknell University joins us to discuss ways to protect fireflies. sciencefriday.com/segments/citiz…
