This post explains a bit of why I love Mastodon. As a sea kayaker, this quote rings so true: Corporate social media feels "a bit like watching everyone swim in an overcrowded, fetid swimming pool when the ocean is right next door."

The American Society of Naturalists stand-alone meetings at Asilomar are one of my favorite places to interact because they're small and intimate. There are still spots available for the meeting in January!

A week left to register for the BEST evolutionary ecology meeting out there, @asn-amnat.bsky.social American Society of Naturalists in Asilomar CA Jan 3-7. Great science, great location, friendly people, small format to encourage conversation.
