Shout out to the queer artist who took money from the cops to plaster ACAB on their vehicles for Pride month 🌈
Fascinating talk by @paulchafeecross at @eeid2023 about various exciting fauna in Yellowstone! Such a cool slide about infection impact on Bighorn sheep horns
Great point in #eeid2023 convo re: capacity building in low/middle income countries by a guy whose name I didn't catch: A lot of times "capacity" exists, but not money to sustain it. NSF EEID grants should consider $$$ *support for existing capacity*, not just building new.
Great kick-off session at @eeid2023! Love these slides by @BootsLab
Excited to be attending #IPVC2023 now that I’m working on HPV modeling!

Why do zebras have such striking, conspicuous, black & white stripes? This >150-yr-old mystery, puzzled over by Darwin & many others before him, still isn’t solved. But one hypothesis is in the lead. Hint: it's not predator confusion, thermoregulation, or camouflage (1/9)
