@evornithology @mdshawkey Kind of was thinking the same...

[John Anthony Jones @JonesJA91]

I'm on the market for a #postdoc position! If you or someone you know is looking for someone keen on behavioral #ecology, signal evolution (songs, colors, etc), and endocrinology, please let me know! Also quite keen on teaching, as an added bonus!

Study of calls in this New Zealand wren from a species-poor suborder that's sister to passerines.

Today is my final lecture for my first full fledged ecology course. Bittersweet - I knew I liked teaching when I was graduate student, but this semester really cemented that

[John Anthony Jones @JonesJA91]

Update - It's submitted! I can finally feel the relief that I wanted to have last night. Better late than never.

- Depression sets in.

I've emailed the fine folk on the program officer team for the PRFB, but that was at 4:45 PM so I'm trying to be patient. Unfortunate - all my application material is timed stamped as submitted pre 5PM my local time. So... fingers crossed.

- NSF PRFB due at 5 PM local time. NBD.
- I go to submit it at 3 PM - turns out single spaced it too single spaced (no more than 6 lines per inch). Ok sure, I have time, NBD. Spend an hour cutting down content.
- It is now 4:10 (ish). Go to hit submit. Error #2 -

[John Anthony Jones @JonesJA91]

My time zone is still set to as central time (from my PhD). I'm Mountain. Ok, let's fix that.
- No, you can't. Call NSF help desk.
- Ok, I do. It is now 4:15 ish. They cannot change it, submit help ticket.
- 5 PM rolls around, application not submitted.

[John Anthony Jones @JonesJA91]

Absolutely love this change.

[American Ornithological Society @AmOrnith]

BREAKING: AOS will change all English bird names currently named after people within its geographic jurisdiction—one step in an effort to address past wrongs and engage more people in the enjoyment, protection and study of birds. https://t.co/EgGbux7TPR #BirdNames

[Fairywren Project @FairywrenProj]

Big news! We received NSF funding and we're now looking for a PhD student to help us study the ecogeography of social behavior in fairywrens. The student will be co-advised by Dai Shizuka and Allison Johnson. Details here: https://t.co/kD9gRWnvLr

We’re hiring a field technician to work with songbird physiology this summer!

[BirdSongLab @BirdSongLab]

Great opportunity for a funded PhD in birdsong https://t.co/AhjGX9QMuM

[John Anthony Jones @JonesJA91]

Finding a bird laying on the ground next to building entirely surrounded by clear windows is heart wrenching. On a university campus with students walking within inches of ending the poor thing no less.

How is it 2023 and we have not systematically addressed this issue?
