I am super excited to meet up with a preschool class for @skypeascientist.bsky.social today!! Not sure what that probabilities are (I am guessing low), but I just found out that out of the thousands of possible pairings, I get to visit my sister's classroom thousands of miles away!!

hit a little scientific milestone today: 50 citations!!!!! sometimes I am still in shock that I am living my childhood dream and get to be a ~scientist~

Did you really go to grad school if you didn’t also become a climber???

Successfully added a few letters to my name last month!!! Truly could not have done this with our villages upon villages 🫶🏼

i’m defending my phd in a couple weeks!!!! lmk if you’d like an invite/link

my first first-author paper is (kinda*) on the cover of molecular ecology!!! *zoom in on the first picture in the second row **together with a bunch of cool gene expression studies really excited to dive into the special issue!! #Evolution #PopGen

👉🏼he has a question for u 👈🏼

solidarity from indiana!!! you know shit is bad when this is the turnout in Lafayette, INDIANA

not that i expected better from Purdue… but as an Queer student of color who has gotten harassed countless of times while at Purdue, the spineless ending of DEI efforts is still a stab to the heart

Nymphia Wind’s #dragrace step down look is one of my all time favorites. Not only does it look STUNNING but it is also a love letter to Taiwan’s ecosystems and endemic species!!! Behind her is Taiwan’s now-extinct formosan clouded-leopard, and on her chest is another endemic: Mikado Pheasant.

everyone look at this jewelry organizer my friend made for me 🥹🥹🥹

happy new year indeed!

bird scientists… are these seagulls just riding the waves for fun??

happy holidays!! you will get half of your pay in January :))

spending thanksgiving by myself in indiana this year, dreaming of celebrating the harvest with my aboriginal family in Taitung, Taiwan

My favorite find has to be the Mikado pheasants I saw in Taiwan with my dad — one of Taiwan’s national birds

wake up everyone, iNatualist year in review just dropped!!! what’s your favorite find this year?

here’s goose!

after trump won the presidency of the US by (partially) campaigning to hurt the trans and queer communities, this #LGBTQSTEMday feels extra important. no matter what, i’m still queer, i’m still doing science 🌈🧪🧬

Can't turn down an opportunity to post bangers (yes I was fishing backwards) repost with a banger picture of you

feels wild to re-introduce myself after so many years on “science twitter” but i am liking the fresh start! hey y’all, i’m andy (he/they). i study evolution in the rapidly changing ocean. i like going outside to touch rocks and look at bugs.

his reaction to the election result

at an ecology conference… can you tell?? (come say hi if you’re at WSN!) (also come see my talk tmr — last session last talk!)

great day catching fish on the Wabash for some outreach to middle schoolers :)

got to electro fish for the first time!! nice to see some native fishes in our backyard — the diversity is insane!!

seeing Big Thief in Adrianne Lenker’s hometown hits different

What’s up babes!! Still the same Andy (climbing rocks, touching grass, studying evolution in the ocean)
