Thank you!!! <33
Thank you!!! <33
I'll do my own post once I've properly processed but am Dr. Nguyen now! 🤩🥳🫨🤪😆😈
🤩 WHO'S GOING TO ENTOMOLOGY IN PORTLAND??? 🤩
Our recently published work in @royalsociety.org was featured on Spectrum News! Thanks for a great story featuring @jlotusnguyen.bsky.social's work on how antibiotics disrupt the collective cooling in honey bee colonies in my research lab @marquetteu.bsky.social

I had the pleasure of getting interviewed by @spectrumnewsny1.bsky.social for my recently published work on the effects of oxytetracycline on honey bee fanning behavior. Check it out below!

Some fun #honeybee 🐝 press for our paper! today.marquette.edu/2025/04/marq...
And that concludes my very first #ABS2025 conference! Every time I go to a conference I am reaffirmed in my passion for animal behavior and science, especially with such inspiring and fantastic people in this field! Thank you to anyone I met/reconnected/hung out with this week!
If you're at #ABS2025, lets meet up!! I'm always lookin to make new friends 🤩 (and also scout for post doc positions... 👉🏻👈🏻)
So excited to be going to my first ABS conference!! 🤩
Is anyone going to ABS this July who needs a roommate? Reach out if you'd like to share an Airbnb/hotel! :D
Super excited to be participating in the 2025 ABS Allee competition this July! What an opportunity! 🤩
Flyer for the 2025 Next Generation Faculty Symposium (including QR code in top right corner). This symposium highlights the work of exceptional early-career scientists in the broad field of quantitative biological and biomedical sciences, with a track record of excellence in research, leadership, mentorship, and community engagement. These early career scientists are preparing to launch a faculty search. Applications are due May 30th, 2025.
Hello Community!
Are you a postdoc/grad student preparing to launch a faculty search? Do you have a track record of excellence in research, leadership, mentorship & community engagement? Apply to the 2025 Next Generation Faculty Symposium: www.berkeleystanfordnextgensymposium.com! Pls repost! (1/3)
my favorite past time is chatting up people at the bar and connecting based in how cool bees are and really engaging them in how smart they are
we scientists must not forget that we fundamentally serve the public. it is our responsibility to engage the public and show them how cool science is
Had the pleasure of taking part of MPM's (@mkepublicmuseum.bsky.social) Inside out event tonight! Interacting with my community and sharing our cool bee science lights a fire underneath me. These interactions are why I do the science I do. To see the awe and wonder on people's faces.
omg the more the merrier imo!
I am a peer mentor in an undergrad-serving program that helps get them into research labs, get research experience, and go to graduate school. These are students who genuinely want to make the world better and are the future of our society's health abd function.
Program was terminated yesterday.
Two PhD Scholarships to study Australian stingless bees 🐝 and crop pollination at the Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment at Western Sydney Uni - deadline March 31. Sounds like a great project - reach out with questions - I did my PhD in this lab!

The first data paper of my dissertation thesis was recently published in ProcB! Follow my rockstar PI's thread below to learn more! Thanks for your support! 😁
And reach out if you're interested in a postdoc - I'm graduating soon 👀
#standupforscience
man its an amazing time to be gearing up to write my thesis and try to graduate within the year 😞
anyone lookin to adopt a newly minted phd next year-ish? 🥴
I wish there was a way to quantify the collective amount of work lost due to stress and despair over the last few weeks, independent of barriers to funding.
I organized a "call your congressman" session today amongst my fellow graduate students to urge our representatives to fight against the cutting of research funds. It made me feel better to talk to offices.
I will not be silenced by a calculated attack to destroy science in this country.
Coat of arms of the Royal Society, which has the motto "nullius in verba," meaning take nobody's word for it.
6/8. In science, and in institutions of learning like colleges and universities, there is a shared understanding that edicts should not go unquestioned—that we all have a duty to systematically investigate the world around us and to interrogate claims about it. We do not simply obey.
8/8. So, if you’re feeling down about these attacks, I understand—I feel that way too. But just remember that they’re not attacking because your work doesn’t matter; they’re attacking *precisely* because it does. So, get some rest, connect with your people, and keep doing it.
I get the instinct to say "it's too late" in response to calls to action (call your reps about thing x, show up to protest thing y). I do. But here's the thing. These are the last tools we have to preserve democracy, short of some very messy options that I refuse to romanticize. Too early to quit.
in these terrifying and uncertain times, I find solace when I look at my plants, my cats.
despite it all, my plants still will grow. my cats will still demand to be fed and then offer purrs and cuddles. life will find a way. and im hanging on to the idea that we will find a way.
