J.B.S Haldane: "The Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we CAN suppose." Let's talk about the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum: It can 'feed' on sunlight; gives birth to live, pregnant clone-babies & needs to be bacterially infected to survive.

Hey @ssarherps @HerpLeague @IchsAndHerps @ElasmoSociety higher-ups! I'm curious... how does one get on a local host committee? I know it's too late now, but I can't help but feel a missed opportunity for #JMIH2023, which is only ~30 miles from me here at #CNU in Newport News! 1/3

So, how does it work? Are there elections among societies, or email blasts that I just missed? Maybe this info is widely known, but if not, please share 🙃 . I'm sure there's colleagues of ours interested in how to get involved for future meetings! Now, with that in mind, 2/3

a bit closer to July, I plan to share some additional recommendations for things to do/see nearby. There are some great diverse parks here on the peninsula, a zoo featuring native VA species & habitats, and museums too (all just a short drive from the hotel!). So, stay tuned! 3/3

🚨SICB+ virtual talk alert! 🚨Hey #SICB2023 'ers! So much of our current understanding of lizard eco/evo draws from studies of thermal interactions w/their env. But, did you know that basking is NOT just for warming up:🦎+☀️= UV, too! And, UV is ESSENTIAL for fitness! 1/2

Come see my virtual SICB+ talk to learn about active behavioral UV regulation in lizards, and how habitat use can have stronger consequences for satisfying UV demands! It's time for a rev-UV-lution, folks! Interested in collabs or diving into Arduino? DM or email me! 2/2
