My master's work and first publication on Lasius emarginatus in NYC is officially out in @BioInvasions today! I'm proud of all the work and collaboration that made this paper possible. ClintPenick @twpierson @RRobDunn BernardSeifert link.springer.com/article/10…
Congrats @twpierson!
Congratulations to assistant professor of biology Todd Pierson for receiving a three-year, $380,238 grant from the @NSF! The grant will fund opportunities for @kennesawstate students to participate in research classes to study two-lined salamanders.

Inevitable, and frankly, unsurprising. But here we are: Georgia's newest #invasivespecies, the spotted lanternfly.
🚨Attention, Georgia🚨 We’ve confirmed the Spotted Lanternfly has been found in GA. This time of year, you may see adult SLFs like the one pictured. Please keep an eye out & report sightings!

First @EntsocAmerica presentation in the books! And first time presenting my PhD research on crape myrtle bark scale!

Visualizing Science! I'm holding a series of free, online workshops, thanks to Johns Hopkins University. All are welcome! I plan to have fun with Danielle VanBrabant, Damond Kyllo, and Amey Zhang to introduce visualization topics and challenges. No art experience is necessary.

To quote @realJGoldblum, "life, uh, finds a way"...even in the middle of New York City. Check out @smkennett4 (she's in our lab now!) in this great piece by @NicioliTaylor about the #invasivespecies "ManhattAnt" (not an official common name, btw).

In light of this recent title change, I’ve thought a lot about how I got here, and more broadly, how to succeed in #academia. Yeah, you gotta get $ and be a good/prolific writer. But you also HAVE to surround yourself with awesome people. And the Coyle Lab group is awesome.

You're invited to join us for the Great Southeast Pollinator Census on 8/23! 🐝🌷
We will count pollinators around McGinty Mall and the Redfern Community Garden from 11am -1pm.

The ManhattAnt first turned up in New York City back in 2011. 🐜🗽
Now, thanks to the work of researchers like our PhD student Samantha Kennett, we are learning more about how these tiny ants survive in the big city.

Super excited to be at @ComSciCon for this year’s Flagship Conference! We have so many incredible speakers lined up over the next few days. #comscicon24 has officially begun to take over Boston!
And very special thank you to @RebeccaSenft who was in the field and in the lab with me every step of the way.
Starting off our monitoring project of crape myrtle bark scale in DC! Working with @uscapitol we will monitor sites over the next few years for these crape myrtle pests. – at Washington, DC

The first chapter of my MS thesis on Lasius emarginatus in NYC can be read in preprint now! I lot of hard work and collaboration went into this paper. We still have review to get through but I’m proud of how far it’s come! researchsquare.com/article/r…
