Doing a PhD and a Post doc teaches you many things, but it doesn't prepare you for biggest challenge professors meet - signing documents with acrobat reader
Packed up my desk at the CUAC today in preparation for moving to Mississippi. Starkville and a museum post-doc, here I come!
@CUGradSchool @ClemsonUniv Congratulations to all of our Doctoral Graduates. We are so proud! 💜 (Part 2/2)
Officially PhD's! Congratulations to all of our Doctoral Graduates. A special shout-out to Pat Wooden, Entomology, for delivering the afternoon Graduate Address. We are so proud! 💜 (Part 1/2)

Honored to be an Outstanding CAFLS Graduate Student in Teaching!

@SarahStellwagen and I will again be offering fellowships to "Spider Camp" at Highlands Bio Station in North Carolina. Info, syllabus, and application form on my website: burnslab.umbc.edu/spider-course/ Apply and share, please!
Pleased to share this deep dive into one of Appalachia's most diverse lineages, the ground beetle genus Trechus. Great work from Patricia Wooden's dissertation: mdpi.com/1424-2818/16/4…

We’re looking for one or two interns or technicians interested in working with whiptail lizards this summer. This is a PAID position. If you know of anyone who might be interested, send them our way! Info attached. PLEASE RETWEET.
Made my first big kid phylogenetic tree. Currently explaining paraphyly in Trechus to literally anyone who will listen
See? Carabids can be amazing! *hides Harpalini under the rug*
Wishing someone would make a "leaf litter running through berlese funnels" scented candle
Notebook #1 of the PhD is out of pages. Didn't have one my first year because July 2021 is when I started seriously sequencing, so a very sentimental bundle of pages
I'm begging you all to remember that a venti PSL isn't adequate hydration on the trail.
