Looking for pollinators in my research plots! More syrphid flies came to visit my pink flowery hat than the raspberry flowers though 😅

Completely unrelated to my current work, but here's a new publication I contributed to during undergrad working with #Mimulus. @speci8_mate helped me develop my skills as a scientist & communicator (I still think my poster should've won 1st prize!)
The last paper from my postdoc with @matt_streisfeld is now on bioarxiv, with key contributions from @madeechase and @hrmcintosh! Features a window-based geographic cline analysis and QTL for divergent floral traits. https://t.co/j9dYLuufqu

The struggle is real, especially because travel is not safe AND we only have a ONE DAY spring break this year! 😭
Kicking off spring break, the grad student watches videos of places he wishes he could visit.

Maria has been a farm worker for 17 years in Madera CA. She wants the Farm Work Modernization act to pass because she came to this country to give her family a better future and is tired of being afraid of being separated from her children. #WeAreHome #WeFeedYou

Salvador shares a picture of the citrus tree he just netted in Madera CA. The trees are netted to protect them from being pollinated by bees to keep the fruit seedless. These oranges fetch a premium price but Salvador is paid the same wage for carrying the heavy nets. #WeFeedYou

My MS research with @WI_fruit_ento found that plastic mulches reduce spotted-wing drosophila adult & larval populations in fall-bearing raspberries. Check out this article I wrote for an update on the project: 🪰🍓🫐🍒✨ #SWD #raspberry #IPM

Dogs like to eat insects too!
Luna says ‘thank you!’ for the delicious cricket-based dog biscuits @jiminysforpets and @AgEntoGirl! We enjoyed participating in your photo contest during @BlackInEnto Week.

These are the hands that work 9 hours day. These are the hands that provide a nation fruits & vegetables. These are the hands that pray for farm workers everywhere. These are the hands that feed us. #WeFeedYou #IAmEssential

Speaker fees may be set by the agency, but this institution gets to decide final fees. If you are willing to pay one $12,500+ dollars KNOWING you are only paying the other $7,500, why not offer higher compensation to the other to demonstrate your commitment to equality?
@UWBIPOCCo Thanks for sharing this feedback. In this case and others, speaker fees are set by the agency that represents the speaker. @uw_diversity

Once again, @UWMadison demonstrates how little they value the work of BIPOC folx. Paying a white keynote speaker nearly DOUBLE what they paid a black woman for the same thing is a perfect representation of just how fake their “equity and diversity” initiatives are.

Wow @bug_gwen, this is exactly what I'm doing & feeling today! The stay in bed vs. burn everything binary is so real. No other options! 🔥
