Our synthesis and analysis of >400k US freshwater mussel records is finally published! Big ups to @thepopenjay and @PhishBiologist! Article - https://t.co/FMflLih0wq Smithsonian Magazine - https://t.co/ZUGbUtPsLQ Web app - https://t.co/CVM6dYIxBp

Natural history museums have millions of specimens, each with a story longer than the average person's attention spa-

NMNH is looking to contract a museum technician for up to 2 years to lead a project with USFWS to grow collections-based freshwater mussel genetic resources. See more info here - https://t.co/NZF0LJtZjB Gov contracting process can seem intimidating, please reach out w questions

Thanks to @NMNH's Department of Invertebrate Zoology for a great #shellebration yesterday and all our partners who contributed to a successful end to our freshwater mussel collaboration yesterday! 139,794 Images and 48,196 Specimens digitized! #digitization #invertebrates

sitting at my desk looking a three copies of a specimen. the physical specimen, a printed model, and a digital twin in augmented reality. what a time to be alive

happy "Boston Clam Jam" day to those who celebrate https://t.co/1H8LNy9CjH

my new pb rubik’s cube time

can anyone make out the second and third lines on the label? id assume part of it is a location in eurasia #WhatTheShell

Over 280 3d models of freshwater mussels available at https://t.co/R4BcvpssTF View them on all sorts of devices, in augmented reality, or print them - the world is your oyster! #ShellYeah

I am excited to announce our @NSF grant has been funded to study the evolution and diversification of N American minnows, including genomics/phylogenomics and comparative phylogenetic methods. This includes funds for a postdoc and PhD student! If interested, please reach out!

Taxonomic revision of the Southeast Asian brook barb genus Poropuntius Smith, 1931 (Teleostei, Cyprinidae) with description of a new species from Vietnam (Hoang et al. 2024) https://t.co/jUhKCKRZUL

We're grateful for the footage, expertise and of course, the puns! Many thanks to @USFWS for highlighting our recent collaboration with @NMNH's Invertebrate Zoology historic collection of freshwater mussels!

Native freshwater mussels are one shell of a friend. These "livers of the rivers" help to indicate healthy aquatic systems. @SIxDIGI recently announced an exciting collaboration to digitize over 45,000 specimens in their historic collection of freshwater mussels.

We have captured 118,986 images of the Smithsonian's freshwater mussel collection! #ShellYeah Check out the video describing our project! https://t.co/whptKxVEbb

Check out a #MusselMonday feature on our collaboration with the Department of Invertebrate Zoology at @NMNH! The project will help researchers at the Smithsonian and beyond document the distribution and variation of freshwater mussels over time. https://t.co/ExB7wLgHUX #shellyeah

Great 2-year opportunity for someone interested in leading an effort to grow a centralized biorepository of freshwater mussel genetic materials. Candidate will work closely w USFWS partners to archive endangered and cultured freshwater mussels https://t.co/NZF0LJux99
