Message me with any questions if you're interested in attending and want to know more - this will be an awesome gathering to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Camp’s Classification of Lizards - squamate people, I'm talking to YOU!.
If you don’t know about Camp 2023 this November @AMNH and you work on squamate phylogenetics, you need to check it out asap!No registration costs and it will be the coolest of the cool in attendance giving the best talks you’ve ever heard RT

Using genomic data, we found that speciation rates are unrelated to the formation of population structure (at least for the Malagasy gemsnakes, a young group spatially constrained to a single-island system) - read more about it here!.@Sara_and_Snakes

Amazing to see this! A great reminder that DOR reptiles & amphibians can provide our collections with valuable specimens AND critical tissue samples for future genetic studies!.
While conducting fieldwork we salvage a lot of #roadkill #reptiles to be deposited in natural history museums. These preserved #specimens are vital for research and conservation as each one contains a wealth of information that can be studied for decades to come. #OrianneSociety

Lots of new specimen donations to @VMNH Herpetology this year = lots of cataloging to do BUT I'm excited to see the collection growing!

Appreciating cool towns I live near like Boone, NC that have lots of salamanders, DNA themed beers, and bars where you can watch Night at the Museum vs Bob Ross over a cocktail.

Loved using museum specimens to learn about snake & salamander identification with University of Lynchburg's Governor's School for Math, Science & Technology (and that some of the students had a photoshoot with the Amphiuma) @VMNH

SO happy to be in Chicago to give a fun workshop at the FMNH and see some of my favorite snake scientists.
If I didn’t know better, I’d think I was in NYC (but instead it’s some of my fave people here in Chicago!) @leonardlog @PseudohajeSci @isaacovercast
