I’m thrilled to have been featured on BBC Radio’s Tooth and Claw to talk about the extraordinary praying mantises. From hunting strategies to their overlooked economic value, it is always a pleasure to bring these amazing insects closer to the public 🔗 https://t.co/HoYMK87tym

Check out our paper @PNASNews Special Feature that published today: https://t.co/6pEKwIE3UM. We show how translocating Texas pumas into Florida’s inbred panther population reduced inbreeding and increased genetic diversity, shedding light on the challenges of genetic rescue.

Congrats to Alonso Delgado (@Anemone_Padawan), one of our 2024 Rising Graduate Scholars from @OhioState! Learn about his journey from @Portland_State and his drive to create a community for research scientists of color, particularly Latinx researchers.

When Alonso Delgado was growing up, he could never have imagined he would one day be studying venom in sea anemones, simply because he never knew it was something that he could do.
