Dear science friends,
Have any of you had any experience using a liquid nitrogen dry shipper to bring blood/tissue sample tubes back from international field work? If so, do you have any recommendations for a certain product? What was your experience with airlines/TSA/customs like?
Thanks!
Stop by Alyssa Head's awesome poster on racing three-legged lizards today at 3:30!
Happening today!!!
WOOOOOOO! Huge thank you to SICB and all of my collaborators on this project!
Come see my talk on corticosterone dosing in the Italian Wall Lizard (and why we need to verify dosages) Tuesday at 2:45 in B114!
Also come check out my labmate Alyssa Head's poster on three-legged lizards of LA (P3-136) Tuesday at 3:30!
#SICB2026
Just landed at #SICB2026! I'm so excited to see old friends, make new ones, and talk science for the next few days!!!
The scary surprise 😂
A labeled deli cup with a baby lizard hatching out of its egg.
A baby Italian wall lizard in Amber’s hand. Congrats, mom!
🥳 My grad student @amberlsingh.bsky.social successfully hatched her first Italian wall lizard in the lab! Mazel tov ! 🥚 🦎
Time to test the maternal effects of stress and urbanization on behavior and cognition !
Featuring the bite mark on my finger as it hold the ruler
So excited to be collecting data for my first PhD chapter!!!
Thanks to @doc-brock.bsky.social and all my undergrads 🦎🦎🦎
A flyer that says "See a snake? Let us know! Snakes are hard to find. Your photos will help us study the impacts of urban activities on snake behavior, movement, and population health" with a drawing of a Crotalus helleri with it's mouth open and a long tongue that is actually a road with cars and people on it. Groovy 🐍
A Southern Pacific Rattlesnake (SoPac) in a tube getting her scales clipped for our study.
My colleague, Rulon Clark, and I are starting a community science project to study urban snake pop genetics across SD county !
We've sent out scale clipping kits but many aren't comfortable clipping scales... If you know of a reliable way to get DNA easily and noninvasively from squamates pls lmk! 🧪
Trying to finalize language for a series of science activism posters.
One of these posters is going to be on the reality that life on earth does not conform to the strict boxes that humans try to place biology into, esp. binaries.
I need a SHORT, accurate, easy-to-understand, slogan for this.
Either, Or, and SO MUCH MORE
Super excited to see the final paper of my masters thesis come out! If you've ever wondered about rear-fanged snake venoms, garter snakes, and/or the meshing point of ecology and evolution, this one is for you! 🐍🐟🐸🪱

Hi, I'm Earyn, and I'm a lizard scientist! I created a game to teach people about lizards and increase the representation of Black women as herpetologists. #findthatlizard is a Where's Waldo-esque game where there is a lizard camouflaged in its environment. Your challenge is to find it. Will you? 🦎
Modern breakthroughs in biology are producing a picture of life that is increasingly incompatible with authoritarian preferences for neat boxes that dictate what people are and how they should behave. - @cbo.bsky.social A must read 🧪 🧬
