Probably my favorite race of the year. Gives me goosebumps to think how far women have come in the last 50 years and grateful for pioneers like Kathrine Switzer when running this historic race - the 1st women’s only road race in the world in 1972!

Just registered for #JMIH2026 - come join me in New Orleans!!! Most of my lab will be there (minus Fallon, who will be presenting at SMBE instead!) and we will be giving talks and posters on urban anoles and wall lizards—ecology, genomics, microbiome, morphology!

7 year streak on @duolingoverde.bsky.social ! 💪 Spanish level 120 (high B2), French level 48 (A2), German 17 and Portuguese 21 (A1). Spanish would probably be higher if I tested but I spend most of my time in French these days and use Spanish to refresh and practice

On the cover of @royalsociety.org and in the @nytimes.com! Our new paper on #spottedlanternfly led by PhD student @fallonmeng.bsky.social suggests evolution in urban environments is the secret behind this species invasion success www.nytimes.com/2026/02/23/s...

New paper by my lab! PhD student @fallonmeng.bsky.social set out to use whole genome sequencing of Spotted Lanternfly from China & the US to better understand the invasion... and discovered that adapting to the city may be the key to their invasive success! royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article...

I love when my lab insists I go to the field with them. A perfect day catching urban species at a beautiful natural site. Hard to believe we never left NYC

Fun new things starting in the lab this summer as we dive deeper into the intersection of urbanization and invasion! This is an invasive wall lizard from NYC, a project being led by postdocs @annainthefield.bsky.social & @anthonysnead.bsky.social along with our summer REU students and NYU undergrads

So proud of graduating seniors Emerald Lin & Shira Linsk for both winning undergraduate research awards! @annainthefield.bsky.social did an amazing job mentoring Shira on TWO manuscripts on urban moth biodiversity! Emerald is off to work w/Audubon this summer & Shira to a PhD program this fall! 🔥🔥🔥

NYU MS student Rafael Baez is doing super cool work with urban frogs in NYC! Trypanosomes, chytrid, immune function, and natural history. Some truly integrative research! #SICB2025

Didn’t get enough #urbanevolution at #SICB2025 yesterday? I have good news - there’s more! Join us for a complementary talk session this morning in International Salon 5 8:25-9:45 & at the poster session today!

#ProudPI moment: postdocs @vale-alaasam.bsky.social & Anthony Snead co-organized an amazing #SICB2025 symposium & PhD students Fallon Meng crushed her first conference talk!

Missed my mile goal by a bit this year reminding me consistency is the key to success. But 1341 miles running, another 1200 walking, and two marathons (and two world major ⭐️⭐️) is pretty good. Next year I’ll blow past 1500 on my way to a BQ 💪🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🦄

Hi new Bluesky people. I study urban evolutionary ecology, catch lizards, run marathons, and have an awesome lab of amazing people at NYU!

Are we all trying this blue sky thing again? Ok. Here’s an Anolis cristatellus

Come see the exciting work my PhD & MS students are working on at the #SICB2024 poster session today! Fallon is working on how urbanization is influencing the SLF invasion using genomics & Rafael is working on disease ecology of NYC frogs! #urbanecology #urbanevolution

Haven’t used this app much, but Winchell Lab will be at #SICB2024, and we have a new lab logo!
