Leafhopper comic! Because I want people to stop asking me if they’re the same thing as grasshoppers.

If anyone who studies horseshoe crabs also knits and wants to test knit this new sweater design…test call goes out in about a week and I will be prioritizing horseshoe crab researchers and folks who could potentially take a picture of a crab with their crab sweater…

"We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule that's given to Whites, because their immune system is better than ours." ---RFK Jr.

His answer was dangerous. I will be voting no.

(1/3) at my previous institute I was told that knitting in seminars/etc was unprofessional, rude, and distracting. That fidget toys were acceptable but not knitting. Yesterday I co-hosted the first entomology knitting circle, helped form a group of dedicated crafters

(2/3) who will be continuing to work on this with me, and I won the juried art exhibition at the Entomological Society of America for entomology themed knitwear. I knit and asked questions in fantastic talks alongside other knitters. People came up to me all day wanting to talk

(3/3) about knitting, about art, and about how important nontraditional science communication is. It’s about finding your people, I’m so glad it only took me 24 years to find mine. Overwhelmed with how happy I am to be here. Thanks to all.

Thank you so much to everyone who came and saw my sweaters and talked with me about them AND voted for them. I’m so absolutely thrilled, and just really excited for what I’ll be bringing next year…
