Alaska doesn't disappoint. This wasn't a photo trip - but rather a work trip - but that doesn't mean I forgot my camera. Lots more on FLICKR: www.flickr.com/photos/andre...

Stickleback meet-up at Evolution 2024. If you study stickleback (or want to) - let's all meet up at a pub in Montreal one night of the conference. Send me an email if you want to be included. (Video by @GrantEHaines ) #Evolution2024 #stickleback

Our Big Biology podcast interview at KPC in Soldotna (AK) - with a supplementary interview has been broadcast on local public radio KDLL. This discussion focuses mostly on the restoration aspects of our big eco-evo experiment with stickleback www.kdll.org/podcast/kena...

Me: It's raining today - now the real field work begins. Student: I don't see a field - only a lake. Me: Let's google "origin of the term field work" The result was too perfect: dynamicecology.wordpress.com/2016/09/13/w...

I'm happy that the paper about my class on Historically Excluded and Underrepresented Scientists is now published. When I get back from Alaska, I will put the syllabus and other materials on my website and link to that here on Bluesky. In the meantime, enjoy! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Teaching the way I wish I was taught: Design and implementation of a class on historically excluded and underrepresented scientistsonlinelibrary.wiley.com The Journal of Cellular Physiology examines eukaryotic cell biology and physiology, focusing on articles that investigate cell structure and function.

Oh, damn. For sure! I love the idea - but, of course, it might be hard to fit it in - or maybe it could be integrated into the nat hist trivia event

This would be a cool idea for Asilomar 2025! (Maybe even an evening event?) @ecoevoevoeco.bsky.social @asn-amnat.bsky.social

Heard about this awesome evolution experiment on the Big Biology podcast, so excited to follow the results.

It was cool to arrive in AK after driving for 3 days (from BC) to then receive an email indicating our paper describing the big Alaska stickleback experiment is out. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

If you are going to do field work with your personal vehicle, you might as well show of your research vanity plate

STICKLEBACK RESEARCHERS - spread the word! We now have a website for our summer 2025 meeting at the Bamfield Marine Station in BC (Canada). www.stickleback-2025.ca Bookmark the page and check for updates in the fall. @danielbolnick.bsky.social

Such a crazy business we are in: my NSERC Discovery Grant was rejected, but we just received a more valuable (for 2 years) NSERC Alliance grant (100% NSERC funding). Of course, this Alliance project is brand new, ,and so we remain extremely cash-strapped for our regular work.

@photopidge.bsky.social previously noted you can get a CSEE Early Career Award but not an NSERC Discovery I can now report that you can also fail at NSERC if you have a CRC and recent election to the RSC Take nothing for granted! I look forward to seeing the reviews and doing better next year

I became aware that a Japanese company makes realistic crayfish model kits, and I love crustaceans so I had to have it! It's so detailed and fully poseable, I plan to get the insect models next. Great reference for art too.

True bugs. 😎 Clockwise from upper left: bronze and silver treehopper (Umbonia), crosshatched cicada (Neotibicen), bronze and silver planthopper (Fulgoridae), resin water boatman (Corixidae). Love these little world-slurpers 🧋#invertebrates #bugs

POV: you are showing someone your experimental site on Google Earth and the image shows your car parked beside it. (But then you check the picture date and realize it must have been a competitor's car.)

Female thread-waisted wasps dig nests in sandy soil. Then the wasp will go hunting, paralyze prey, and lay an egg inside the paralyzed insect's body. When the larva hatches, it kills and consumes the host. By Thomas Barbin. hakaimagazine.com/videos-visua...
