Hello hello fellow Texans, bug lovers, and community scientists! Can you help us find this weevil Anthonomous texanus that might occur in West Texas? We're trying to help a researcher get genetic samples from our area. Post your weevil pics to @inaturalist ! #entomology

We are hiring a postdoc to work on our NSF-funded project on suboscine bird diversification! Rough goal is to build phylogenies from massive dataset (data are incoming!) and analyze diversification. Posting: shorturl.at/RkYkE
Thank you so so much @GillianLWong and Metals Professor Jessica Tolbert for helping us subsample these archeological chicken bones for researchers. We learned so much about #zooarcheology, metals art and this amazing technique with the coping saw to cut bones! #ArtAndScience
Talk about interdisciplinary #ArtAndScience collabs coming together between Biology, Zooarcheology and Metals Art!

Huge congrats to Dr. @FlorHernandez_C for successfully defending your dissertation!!
Check out new press about the recognition of mock vipers as a new family, using UTEP-BC specimens! The family is remarkable for it's curious fake fang at the front of their mouths. #herpetology

Snakes are awesome. And so are natural history museums, since this kind of science wouldn't be possible without them.
