Strepsiptera systematics: past, present, and future

Abstract. The twisted-wing parasites (Strepsiptera Kirby) are among the most obscure and enigmatic orders in the Insecta. Strepsipterans are endoparasites

HEY. live in nyc and have roaches? unfortunate. well you can at least donate them to my friend kate montana who's a grad student at cuny-rggs because she wants to know what the deal is with their gut microbiomes. sign up and hand over your roaches!! #invertebrates docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

poster branded with the cuny graduate center and american museum of natural history logos. text reads "nyc cockroach microbiomes project. got roaches in your home, office, kitchen, or restaurant? we are studying the gut microbiomes of american cockroaches (periplaneta americana) from all five boroughs of nyc, and we need freshly collected specimens. we will come pick them up from you. any questions? contact kate montana kmontana@amnh.org" clipart of the empire state building is covered with roach emojis. there is a qr code.

Had so much fun surveying aquatic inverts, building a drift fence, setting out gills nets and minnow traps for fish demographics, and collecting eDNA with some dear friends this weekend in the Adirondacks! 💌

Collaborating with @rin-krichilsky.bsky.social and Kanako Shimizu, we put together what's basically a top-ten list of ways to help foster trans inclusivity and awareness within our scientific and academic communities and would love if you could help share the guide!

How to Support Trans Colleagues

Create a Gender-Inclusive Environment

Research institutional, governmental, local, and other bureaucratic procedures and policies that recognize and support gender transition.

Support training and advocacy for colleagues’ personal/professional safety (ex. in fieldwork, lab work, conferences, institution visits, affinity groups).

Establish and/or identify gender-neutral bathrooms throughout your building. Implement trans-inclusive recruitment and hiring procedures.

Acknowledge intersectionality and the unique needs and barriers that someone with multiple marginalized identities may face.

Consider the importance of representation in your field.

Advocate for Name Changes

Research institutional, governmental, local, and other bureaucratic procedures and policy to recognize and support an individual’s name change.

Identify journals in your field that allow authors to change their names post- publication.

Improve Information Accessibility

Publicly share information on inclusive practices throughout your departments and institution. (Ensure the content centers and is created by trans people.)

Consider Daily Language & Use

Decrease use of gendered terms to avoid exclusionary language.

Ask for personal pronouns.

List on all public-facing directories, and consider including them in email signatures and on professional websites.

Practice discretion. Don’t out your colleagues without their consent.
