The double-life continues! Left: me two months ago in Costa Rica; Right: me two days ago during London Fashion Week. What do both photos have in common? Fancy black fabric but for two very different purposes 😂 #entomologist #WomeninSTEM #oppositejobs 🦋

Earlier today we loaded up at @CalicoFishHouse in Huntington Beach to transport supplies to those in need from the #lafires

Dropping off supplies at the @LADreamCenter coming from @CalicoFishHouse in Huntington Beach. Many places in Pasadena no longer taking donations — be sure to check updates on who is taking donations and what they still need #lafires

I went to Mt. Everest this spring. The solo trek to Base Camp was unforgettable, and being on the mountain in any capacity was surreal. Never stop exploring 🩵🏔️ #mteverest #adventure #womenwhoexplore #Nepal

When in the field:

Many unhappy passengers here at #LAX with the IT outage that has caused #FAA to ground all flights nationwide until further notice. This started three hours ago. We are being told to leave the airport and go home. #airport #delays

My new plates came today. Going IMMEDIATELY on my Jeep.

Forgot to post this last month! Time lapse from eclipse totality in Athens, TX. #solareclipse #totality

I was having dinner at #Nobu and the most amazing insect flew into our space, a webspinner (Embiidina), so naturally I needed to bring it to lab and document its existence. It made my day! I left a big tip since they didn’t charge for this awesome bug.

Reminds me of that one time I was going through immigration in Heathrow, explaining that my visit was to give a research seminar at Cambridge University. The officer replied with “you mean you’re attending a seminar?” Me: “No, I am delivering the seminar.” #smh

Anyone work for #Meta and know how to get customer support for business accounts?

Details here:

Join us this summer for the #tropical #butterfly #ecology course! This #CostaRica field course is for butterfly enthusiasts and undergraduate students — it is the less-intense version of our graduate course. The application deadline is soon, DM me if you have any questions! 🦋

Should have replied with “Look It Up” But also, a senior in college should know this.

Twitterverse: what are these? Small, a few mm, in Los Angeles.

I made a reference to Ferris Bueller's Day Off in my Ecology Class off 55 students today. NONE OF THEM HAD SEEN IT OR KNEW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT the world is coming to an end I am now too old to be cool enough for my students.

3. And yes some journals will reduce prices if you don’t have funding to cover the costs. But not reduced by enough. What if you’re between jobs and don’t currently have institutional support, yet the publications are necessities of hire requirements?

2. Having a grant to pay publication fees is like having health insurance to get medical care. If you have it, great, you’re covered, but because of this prices are hiked way up since you have the “funding”. If you don’t have it, you’re SOL.

1. This got a lot of traction, but I am learning that some fields provide free publication in their respective journals? Meanwhile biology journal publication fees can be into the thousands…
