Amanda Daria Stoltz, PhD

As someone who now lives without a dryer... I'm interested

Pro tip: Have a meeting where everyone is quiet and no one asks any questions? Give a friend a question to ask to start the discussion! Sometimes you just need to break the ice

My new roommate in Spain gives him a run for his money (Scutigera coleopdrata)

Is everyone ready for my first first-author paper announcement of 2026????

Glad I'm living in Spain where calling someone "MAHA" would sound like "Maja" and mean that they're nice and cool

Excited to be a part of the EcoC2S team!

Really interesting #PhD opportunity combining #LocalEcologicalKnowledge and #science to better understand changes in #seabird distributions over time in the context of #InvasiveSpecies.

Pacifica: a poem on coastal resilience Pacifica critiques “coastal resilience,” a term often used to describe efforts to protect coastal communities from sea-level rise and coastal hazards. The most common methods of achieving “coastal res...

Just signed up to write more coastal resilience poems. If you missed my first one, it's published in Disaster Prevention and Management... where are my fellow scientist-poets?

I took the bus today to my job in Spain

^^ something I've always dreamed of?? I can't believe this is my life??

I told one of the PhD students this and he was like: Why?

Currently have four papers in press... soon to be five 🫣

What I intended to say at a coauthors meeting: After reworking the paper draft, it's now much more focused
What I actually said: The paper is shorter now. Well. Not physically. The paper is shorter emotionally

Not to be that girl but... "Do you want to see a lizard???" will always work on me

Ever read a perspective paper and just really really want to be the author's friend?

New PhD student was visiting my lab in Spain and asked me if we have summers off. I was confused... like no, honey, this is academia we don't have any time off. And then my colleague was like:

"You are in Europe now. We do not work in August. Everything is closed."

🤯

All good! Next time specifics would be good for Monday Amanda who is easily triggered

Thanks past Amanda, for putting "Monday meeting" on my to-do list. It is now Monday and I would love to know what you were referring to???

New appreciation for people who have moved to a new country unlocked

First-ever shark recorded in Antarctic waters filmed at 490 meters in near‑freezing water An ungainly barrel of a shark cruising languidly over a barren seabed far too deep for the sun's rays to illuminate was an unexpected sight.

I had my first dream in Spanish!!!! This feels like progress!

Māori have an expression “tēnei, tēnā, tērā”– “this, that and that over there” – now, short term, long term – reminding them that change is incremental

or in other words

poco a poco

A fun hack in academia is that everyone is too busy to apply for smaller awards/challenges so you can actually win small grants and such pretty easily

kiwis are birds, actually

New friend: What are you going to do at work today?

Me: I'm going to write a paper about climate change

New friend: Whaaaat?!? That's so cool!!!!!

My first presentation in Spanish went really well! I'm really International Science Barbie now!
