The School of Science and Mathematics at @TrumanState is hiring several TT and non-TT faculty for next fall! Truman is a public #LiberalArts college in Northeast Missouri. Come join us! Please RT.
The Shizuka Lab is recruiting a Ph.D. student for Fall 2024! Two full years of RAship support guaranteed! You can find out more about the lab and the position at https://t.co/ZqqhUWv4gc. If you have any questions about the lab itself, I'm happy to chat!(Spoiler alert, I love it)
@DrBirdLady@SarahKnutie I’ve certainly never opened a box to find wasps and ran away before they have time to react. I’m always perfectly composed in the field.
@evornithology@austinrspence If you have a spare net that has a lot of holes, you can sacrifice it and use it to cut out patches that can be sewn into the good nets. I always find it easier to cut rips and holes into squares and use a patch rather than sewing up a hole.
My new lab at the University of Nevada, Reno is recruiting a graduate student to join our lab in fall 2024. Students interested in the evolution of sexual conflict and parental care in songbirds are encouraged to apply.
If you are going to #ABS2023 and are interested, let’s talk.
As if the hours of at home fireworks weren’t enough of a stressor for wildlife, this morning I watched birds pecking at & presumably eating the trash left by my neighbors & then I pick this lantern up from in the middle of the conservation area while checking nest boxes today 😤
@TanentzapfLab I was told TT faculty had to decide about pausing their tenure clock by Oct ‘20 because ‘we don’t want someone to watch Netflix for a year and then decide to take a pause’
