Who do I know going to @ecbb2026.bsky.social? Unfortunately I can’t go anymore but my excellent Masters student is presenting a poster. I’d love to link her up with some friendly fellow grad students! Conferencing alone can be a little lonesome.

👀 Enjoyed this perspective on the evolution of human commensalism! We need to quantify the degree to which species have evolved/adapted to anthropo environs and clearly define those environs. Plus I learned a neat new word: "synurbic". #drosophila would be great models for some of this!
