Taking #pride with me to every social dance during and beyone #PrideMonth!
Always happy to chat science, dance a song, or whatever if you see me in passing anywhere :)
From your friendly #queer #agender #trans neighbor :).

Happy #PrideMonth! To celebrate, I'm starting a thread of readings on queerness in animals/evolution, and keep adding throughout the month. I'll include a mix of writing for popular audiences as well as some scientific articles and book recommendations! 🧪 🏳️🌈 (1/n)
Nature has ALWAYS been queer! 🌈
#Academia:
What is your advice to brand new Master's and PhD students joining a lab?
How does one pitch a thesis idea? Where to start? How to begin a literature search without drowning in papers?
(Resource links and personal advice are encouraged with the caveat that each situation is unique.)
I'll put in a rec for phylopic.org! Silhouettes of so many taxa with creative commons and public domain licenses. Great for figures and for teaching!
Academics: What are free resources you wish you knew about sooner or ealier in your career? (That are still helpful today.)
Anything from paper access, scheduling time, writing help, etc. Not everyone gets access to this knowledge so let's share and spread what is available :)

The weather is getting warmer here and my friend asked how I plan to swim during summer since t0p surgery.
She asked what I was comfortable with and then helped me navigate questions (she grew up here).
This is #trans support 🥰.
I am so appreciative! Community is so important ❤️

For CSV files, if I have to use a GUI it is either ModernCSV, SmoothCSV 3 or the CSV editor extension in VS code. All are cross platform and the last two are FOSS.
