Obsessed with how @MusingBiologist knit and photographed the “Collections Cowl” (my pattern out July 31st). This cowl has multiple insect charts for each box, so you can build your own entomological collection…and wear it! #MCZentomology #knittingentomologist
#PaleoArt imitates life! Layer after layer, MCZ Cryogenic’s very own @MusingBiologist knit up this Fossil Frenzy cowl! Can you name every taxa in this wooly assemblage? #FossilFriday #MCZVertPaleo
New study on landscape genomics of Horned Larks from Death Valley to the peaks of the Sierra Nevada! Thanks to coauthors Subir Shakya, @MusingBiologist, @cheechero, and Rauri Bowie. A @MVZUCB x @LSU_MNS collaboration dedicated to the late Ned Johnson. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…
Our new paper examines Anti-Asian racism in STEM and suggests first steps towards making institutional change. Feeling so fortunate to be able to support this amazing group of authors and for the incredible AAPI solidarity that went into this piece. Hulō, hulō, hulō!

First post here, but I thought it’d be appropriate. My first publication in grad school! Thanks to all my fellow bird nerds at the MVZ @MVZUCB and @MusingBiologist @RosaAJJimenezB @cheechero @Nick_mas0n academic.oup.com/auk/advance-ar…
Fun to work on this project with my @MVZUCB fam: @cheechero, @MusingBiologist, @caornithologist, @RosaAJJimenezB, and Rauri C.K. Bowie. #taxonomy #birds #collectionsareessential #GoBears
Working on something to share patterns for the creations I've come up with other the last year. What better way than to start the Journal of Yarn Sciences? I hope to share my first article "Mechanistic description of amigurumi-based vaccine manufacture" in the near future.
I happy to share our new paper on penguin genomics and evolution pnas.org/content/early/…

Listening to @SquaMatesPod - how much brain power does @MarkScherz expend on thinking of these herp puns? I nearly died at "Breaking Newts!"
The best snake haul this year on an #ib104 @MVZUCB trip. Happy #WorldSnakeDay !!
But there are very few skulls weirder than this one. Points for guessing what it is! Working on a description of it with @MusingBiologist and other colleagues (on pause due to PhDs). @TetZoo @herphighlights @davidcblackburn #skullsgetweird
Traditionally, several groups of birds have been thought to be closely related to passerines. These include pigeons, cuckoos, and woodpeckers. However, genetic studies have shown that the closest relatives of passerines are parrots and falcons! #PraiseToPasserines
Liophidium have hinged teeth, and some are so obscure that I wrote an article about how to find out about obscure snakes using one as an example: snakesarelong.blogspot.com/2014/10/how-to… #snaketour Thanks @MusingBiologist @MarkScherz
First ct scans from my student @JustBernstein, in collaboration w @CallieHCrawford w the @FlammangLab !
Quote from “Science Through Narrative symposium talk by @leafdoctor : “Fossils are tweets from the past.” #sicb2018 #scicomm
40 new 3D snake skulls published to MorphoSource . Here's one of my favorites: #ScanAllSnakes #UMMZherps
