Today I get to present my favorite slide in Bioinformatics. It’s also the closest I get to using a meme that my students understand. #BLAST @alwayssunny @ncbi

When you search your name for #IUSSI2022 and you’re the only one who pops up. 😔😔😔 @DrStrangeAnt

And here's a part of the @GaSouthernBiol crew just before heading back to Statesboro. Me and MS students Renee Nowicki and Juan Jeronimo.

Here's @GaSouthernBiol professor Dr. Alan Harvey presenting some cool work on grasshopper eye sizes! This is work he's doing with his MS student Juan Jeronimo.

Michael Shaw is a @GaSouthernBiol undergraduate student and @GSCOSM COUR award researcher studying Nasonia hybrids. Here's Michael presenting his research at the 2022 Georgia Entomological Society meeting last week!

Had a great time at the Georgia Entomological Society meeting last week. @GaSouthernBiol was well represented! Here's MS student Renee Nowicki presenting her plans for studying Dorymyrmex Cone Ants in local sandhills this summer, funded by a @GSICPS summer research assistantship!

So, this happened. Not sure who disposes of hair clippers in the center of a 4 lane road though.

Ah, October. The wonderful month when my now-permanent door stickers become relevant again.

Pretty excited to dig in to this one!

I got some used folders for filing class assignments, they must have been used for class groups in the past. This one is my favorite. Team Jet Kiss, I don’t know where you are but I hope you’re out there just doing your thing.

Ant Twitter, any idea on an ID for this queen? She was found, still alive, on a plankton net 15 miles off the Georgia coast. The grid is 0.5cm. I should have her in the lab next week, but I’m curious what you think. @Myrmecos @lovetheants @CorrieMoreau @TheAntlady

I don’t know my sphecids that well, but that might be Spex pennsylvanicus. They have a broad range. I took some photos of one on campus, huge wasp with huge chompers!! Nice find!

Have you seen how their babies eat? They're like little aliens! youtube.com/watch?v=EHo_9wnn… Though as an entomologist I have to point out that these are nymphs, not larvae (no complete metamorphosis).

New paper with entirely @GaSouthernBiol collaborators! Led by Dr. Lisa Brown and her lab; grad Ryne Maness and undergrad Clark Hall. Infection rates in blood feeding cat fleas are increased when ROS is reduced using antioxidants. #Vectors #Immunity sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

This Argentine ant has seen some things. #AntFight #TisButaScratch

When there's some miscommunication between you, your collaborator, and the interlibrary loan system...

Had a nice float down the Ogeechee River today with @CRCBiologist and @chadposick. Great company, wildlife, and views.

Found a couple of the boys hiding from the rain during an interrupted mating flight. Camponotus floridanus
