Yesterday at #Ento26, I had the privilege of signing the Fellows’ Book of the @royentsoc.bsky.social Adding my name to a book bearing those of Charles Darwin, Alfred R. Wallace, and so many remarkable entomologists is difficult to put into words. A humbling moment I will never forget. 🦋🐝

~35 Myr ago, a female pseudoscorpion grabbed a fly's hind leg and got caught in resin, with a brood sac of 12 eggs still attached. µCT let us count every one. 🦂 ✍️ Earliest fossil evidence of parental care and phoresy together, in iScience (open access): doi.org/10.1016/j.is...

🐝🌿 New in Cladistics: we describe †Eotenthredinidae fam. nov. — the oldest known crown-group true sawflies (Tenthredinoidea), from the ~125-Ma Yixian Fm (Jehol Biota). A transitional fossil bridging stem & crown sawflies, with clues to their coevolution with angiosperms. 🦴🌸 doi.org/10.1111/cla....

Last few days of my stay at @oistedu.bsky.social supported by JSPS. 🇯🇵 Huge thanks to Tom and the Evolutionary Genomics Unit for hosting me! ⚗️ 🧪 We’ve sequenced over 1500 specimens (my fingers hurt!) and done a whole bunch of CT scans. 🐜🪳 Lots of promising data and projects for the years ahead!

The only thing I really expect from academia is to have fun. 🎉 This paper is pure fun: it started with a BBQ brainstorming, turned into a project with friends, and ended with a super-talented friend making the cover photo. What a combo! 🔥📚📸 doi.org/10.1098/rspb... @mat-bod-evo-23.bsky.social
