Over 1 billion birds collide with buildings each year, but new research from Fordham Ph.D. student Ar Kornreich shows the real toll is even higher.

I had so much fun creating this collage for #WorldAlgaeDay! Thank you to @WaterlooBio Dr Müller, @LouisCalderCtr Dr John Wehr, and @NYCmicrobes for helping with sampling, learning identification, and use of their microscopy labs.

I always learn a lot from people in @LouisCalderCtr algae class, but have you ever seen anything like this homemade portable microscope by Liz Nystrom @USGS NY Water Science Center? Two pieces of plywood, wide-angle lenses, and adjustable plexiglass.

Our article describing the NYC coyote diet using DNA metabarcoding has been published today in @PeerJLife https://t.co/j9Va3b8qgd #Biodiversity #Ecology #Genetics #MolecularBiology #Zoology. Here are some of our results:

I shot my first microbial movie on the @Em1Microscope today. Ceratium hirundinella navigating its way through a party of Peridinium and Trachelemonas. I will get better at this (maybe do some editing with audio tracks), but this is a good start.

The project I started in 2013 is out! We found higher-than-expected genetic diversity in Japanese knotweed, an invasive plant thought to spread mostly by vegetative propagation. The best scoop protection will always be working on an octoploid without a ref. genome! @MFAlvarez7
