- OMG back in 2020 I tried so hard to find velvet worms in Indonesia, from historical data and living observations, but found nothing. Finally some people took photos of them in 2023-2024 www.inaturalist.org/observations...
- it was so odd to me that both Singapore and Australia have relatively well known velvet worm populations but none were found in Indonesia. the historical records were dubious or potentially mislabeled too. it's nice to have this confirmation now.

- This spotlight was taken down. I put links to things like highlights in my CV that I use for promotion and tenure. It's irresponsible to take this down for an assistant professor, especially when others are still up. bsky.app/profile/drsp...
- I’m on one of ASMs IDEAA committees and we have received 0 communication from ASM staff on why this is happening. I had to find out via social media. Extremely disappointing.
- Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.
