My fav part of being a Prof.: attending commencement. Tearing up as the Dean asked for all the first gen students to stand up (90% of them) and hearing the pride of their friends& family attending. I was especially proud of @Eddie_Barragan_, so excited for what lies ahead of you!

Lots of fun with our new LI-600 @Eddie_Barragan_ @BrownNaturalist & Karli M.
Really glad I got to join @cscoffoni5 and her lab this Monday at the CA Botanic Garden learning how to measure leaf physiology on numerous California native plants! And the best part… no visitors! So we had the entire garden to ourselves! 😁

How considerate of these frogs to have evolved this mechanism to avoid blocking light when sleeping on leaves 😆
Tiny, translucent glassfrogs increase their transparency two- to threefold while sleeping by temporarily storing red blood cells in their liver, according to a 2022 study in Science. Learn more: scim.ag/5Wv #ScienceMagArchives
