.... this is one reason why I am afraid to take my little girl to the Everglades. YIKES! npr.org/2023/07/13/118749759…

A record-breaking Burmese python — as long as a giraffe is tall — caught in Florida

The snake, stretching 19 feet, was caught in the Big Cypress National Preserve. The invasive species runs rampant through southern Florida, wreaking havoc on the state's native animal populations.

Me in the Amazon Basin in 2001, when I started grad school with the support of an @NSERC_CRSNG scholarship. It paid $17,300, and was barely enough then. The same award pays $17,500 today. Just $200 more in 22 years. #SupportOurScience

One of my students was denied the @NSF GRF this year by virtue of being deemed ineligible because they took a one-week bootcamp prior to starting grad school and it showed up as a summer "class" on their transcript. Seems this could affect many applicants. Be aware! #NSFGRFP

I'm deeply saddened by Dick's passing-- I got the news in stunned silence. Dick loved evolutionary biology, population genetics, mathematics, and theory. He was an exceptionally clear thinker and writer about knotty concepts. He was fun and funny. Thoughtful, kind, generous.
