Oh @Poshmarkapp why are you doing me wrong? You took $2800+ from my bank account for an unauthorized payment and then told me there is nothing you can do? This is how you treat loyal customers?

Scientists! We have two open faculty positions in our WCSU Biology dept, one for a biologist using bioinformatics and the other for a climate scientist: wcsu.edu/hr/employment/curre… #biology #faculty #pui #CT #academia #climate #careers

It really is time to say goodbye to Twitter (X). It is going to be tough to start over again but I hope you will join me where the skies are blue: [at]ticklab.bsky.social #byebyeelon

Job seekers: My dept. at WCSU is seeking a Science Technical Specialist. We need someone awesome to join our team! Please share! bit.ly/3yaQBQx #science #laboratory #careers #biology #chemistry #HigherEd #CT #NewEngland #jobseekers

Well it finally happened…we ran out of unique colors for our #tick mark-recapture work. TBH we didn’t expect I scap nymphs to live this long in mowed lawns. Week 8! 😳

#FranTick doesn’t get out much, mostly because she is HUGE and has limited peripheral vision (and ahem, we have research to do). But I kinda keep hoping someone will double-dog dare me to take her to a conference full of #tick nerds who might appreciate how truly great she is!

So, like, I don’t disagree with this advice I guess… but it’s not exactly a fortune.

Not sure who you are, but can we be friends? #ticks #vanityplate #Virginia

Great swag at today’s VBD symposium @CT_CAES!

That time on Royal Pains (Netflix) when suddenly the doc pulled a blacklegged #tick out of a guy’s ear, saving the patient’s future football career! 🤪

Someone shared this with me and I don’t know the source but I love the creativity. This bowl of #tick “trail mix” makes @CDC’s lemon poppy seed tick muffin seem quite tasty in comparison! 😬 @Ologies

Haha Tick-Tacs! So perfect! Have you tried my fave cereal? 😬 #ticks

I know it’s May but these marked nymphs on green tape are giving Christmas vibes. Ix-hohoho-des? #ticks

Was just thinking that, if there was such a thing as a parasite rave, surely they would play “tickno” music…right? #ticks #glowup

Love it! We have a mannequin too (Tick Check Barbie)! Perhaps these two should meet sometime. 😀

Today we met RI’s famous Big Blue Bug. It was an honor. #FranTick @bigbluebug #EBEntSoc23

Fran Tick met The Tick Guy and his wonderful associates running the @tickencounter tick trivia booth today at the ESA Bug’s World event. If she could talk, we are pretty sure Fran would have won this game! @thetickguy #FranTick #RI @EB_Entsoc

If you’re heading to the @EB_Entsoc meeting next week in #Providence, come meet our lab mascot #FranTick! She will be making an appearance on Sunday 3/19 at the “It’s a Bug’s World” Expo and would love to meet you.
