Finally finished this cross stitch. What does everyone think? Thinking of putting it up for silent auction at the parasitology meeting this summer but don't think it may be good enough quality. #parasitology #entomology #medical #parasites #pathogen #biology #crossstitch

Does anyone have lab notebooks implemented into their classes? In particular, i am thinking of adding this component to my zoology class. The end goal would be hand written/drawn notes usable on the lab practical. Is this feasible? #biology #teaching #professor #laboratory

If you have enemies, plant daylilies in their yard. These things are a PITA to get rid of. #gardening

My husband just watched a 1960s documentary on turpentine. And now he's watching one on making rebar. It's his Roman empire. Please send help. #marriage

The worst part about teaching zoology is getting to the Arthropods and suddenly remembering that sea spiders are a thing. Or maybe that's just my arachnophobia...#zoology #phdchat #collegeprofessor #arthropods

The worst thing about owning rats is their lifespan and watching them decline. Hazel isn't doing well and I'm heartbroken πŸ’” #rats #pets #grief

Going to have my students participate in #2024MMM. I am worried they won't like it or they'll think it's weird for a college class. But I gotta try anyway. #biology #college

I currently have a small isopod enclosure in my university office. Considering getting a 5 gallon for the isopods. Anyone have a similar set up for isopods or any suggestions? #isopods #college #entomology #officepet

One of my students described a polytomy as "the junk cabinet of phylogenies" and I'm still chuckling 🀣 #evolution #phylogenetics #teaching #college

I'm not ready for next semester. At all. I'm trying to get this online class done and struggling. Along with my two other classes. And with the ice storm, driving back and forth to grand forks from valley and Christmas...I don't know what to do. #teaching #college

Nearly done with the first semester at my new job. Feeling anxious and discouraged with my performance and progress. I really hope I can handle the rest of the semester and the next goes better. #teacher #AcademicTwitter
