Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.

I guess I have never shared here what I actually study! These are 2 of the species of ants I'm using for my PhD research! Atta cephalotes and Harpegnathos saltator!

Yesterday was 50 years since governor Milton Shapp made PA the first state to extend anti-discrimination protections to LGBTQ people. Was honored to meet with LGBTQ Advocates,Leaders, and Legislators from across the commonwealth to mark the occasion and remind folks we need to continue the fight!

Another successful PhD defense from the @fchrisbennett.bsky.social lab! So so so proud of Dr. Sonia Lombroso. An absolute masterclass of a thesis. Can’t wait to follow what is sure to be an amazing career ahead! #PhDone
