The @UMSL Daily wrote a piece on me and my research! And I must say, it reads much better than all my ramblings and random thoughts about my life & work.

New paper @CurrentBiology Orchid bees are best known for their perfume concocting behavior. Males acquire volatile compounds from the environment to use in courtship. However, the function of these chemical bouquets has remained unknown, until now! cell.com/current-biology/ful… 🧵
Are you/do you know someone who is interested in a fulling funded MS program studying watershed sciences @siue? I just learned today that there are still a few spots open! Rolling applications, reach out for more info! #AcademicTwitter #GradSchool #AcademicChatter

So excited about our discussion of @AngelJonesPhD book #StreetScholar with @SIUE and @siuestem. Challenging & humbling & empowering.

New paper alert! Closely related plants often occupy different habitats, and I found that soil microbes might explain this habitat preference! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… Check out this #openaccess #FREETOREAD publication from one of my PhD chapters.

New paper alert! Did you ever wonder how orchid bees see color? Well... now we know! (spoiler alert - not much different than honey/bumble/stingless bees).
Check out the work I did with @msaimeesue, @DavidOutomuro, and @zapkapow at the @MorehouseLab!

huge thanks to @stlzoo, @umsl & @HarrisCenterEco for funding, support, and for creating such an amazing scientific community in St. Louis!
huge thanks to @danielfig23 for his help with the graphical abstract - if you need an illustrator, you should go check him out at daniel-figueiredo.com/info
Hi #AcademicTwitter, what project management software/platform/app do you use? Trello boards have been my friends but I need something a little more robust for larger/collaborative projects in different stages of development.

4y ago I came to the Brazilian consulate in Chicago to vote on our presidential election. There were maybe 10 people in front of me in line. Today I am back here and there were at least 2,000 people in front of me in line and the line keeps growing 🇧🇷
Someone from the embassy said there are 11,000 registered voters in our region, and I love that I got to see so many of them today!
