Over the past 10 days, Dr. Lisanne Petracca and PhD student Kristyn Murphy dove into Bayesian stats at the @NSF-funded "Bayesian Models for Ecological Data" course @NREL_EcoPress. Excited for them to share what they learned in the classroom and in their research @JavelinaNation!

It has now been 42 days since the murder of six innocent Christians in Nashville & we still haven’t had the transgender shooter’s manifesto released. Unacceptable. If a right wing Trump supporter had been the shooter, it would have been released within 48 hours. And you all know it.

New regional quail recovery effort. The Pineywoods of East Texas+ once supported vibrant wild bobwhite populations, but has attracted very little research or management attention for several decades. Full story on new program to recover the species. https://t.co/r4zxh2vBa4

Two months ago Texas opened 100%.

And today...

* We reported the fewest new Covid cases in 11 months

* We tied for the 2nd fewest fatalities (3) in more than a year

* the 7-day positivity rate hit a new low of 4.16%

Congratulations to these CKWRI graduate students for receiving awards from the Dick & Mary Lewis Kleberg College AGNR: Department of Rangeland and Wildlife Sciences AY21 Outstanding Student Awards!

Today, a hero was laid to rest.

When one is hurt we all feel the pain!

Our thoughts and prayers continue be with the Walker family, friends and TX-DPS.

Thank you for allowing us to honor Trooper Chad Walker today.

CKWRI’s Fidel Hernandez recently published an article in the Wildlife Society Bulletin titled “The Colors of Quail Science”. It explores the topics of psychology, chaos & dialectical philosophy and ties them back to the science of quail. Check it out at https://t.co/IA5UMAV27D.
