@SarahKnutie @AmOrnith Thanks Sarah!

[Mike Butler @MWButler2]

@SaraAKaiser @AmOrnith It's always easier with helpful and supportive friends - thanks for everything, @SaraAKaiser!

[Mike Butler @MWButler2]

@AmOrnith Thanks for everything, @AmOrnith!

[Mike Butler @MWButler2]

@SarahKnutie Yikes! Best wishes, Sarah!

[Mike Butler @MWButler2]

@MangiameleLab @c_lattin Yeah, this. One paper a year is generally safe. Less than that, and you need to sell it a bit more. Going up with just two papers is very risky.

@CynthiaJDowns @SarahKnutie So happy that I got to team up with fantastic professionals who are also wonderful people. Be well, team! And everyone else, too!

[Mike Butler @MWButler2]

@SaraAKaiser Right back at you!

[Mike Butler @MWButler2]

@SaraAKaiser Huge congratulations, Sara!

[Mike Butler @MWButler2]

@AmOrnith Many thanks, AOS!

[Mike Butler @MWButler2]

@stevebikes Um, or you could borrow/rent/buy the book? Reading is a thing, too!

[Mike Butler @MWButler2]

Thanks Erin!

#SICB2020 talk from @MWButler2 on interactions btwn short term stress and lipid oxidation: as CORT increases as consequence of stress, fatty acid triglycerides drop. I've been chewing on relationships between leptin and CORT lately, so I was thrilled to see this one.

@MWButler2: Even low-dose immune challenges increase oxidative damage in quail #EOU2019 #ornithology

[Roger Colominas-Ciuró @ColominasCiuro]

Nice talk of @MWButler2 on the strength of the immune response in birds. Different physiological markers show different responses after an immune challenge

Want nightmares?

Take a look at these aggregations (tan blobs) of nest mites from a swallow nest...

Thousands upon thousands of parasitic mites... 😳😱🤯🤮

GREAT FUN w/ @MWButler2 & @LafCol UGs Emma & Julianna!

Super cool work happening in the lab & I’m excited for future collabs! 🎉😎

Their crew collected this pot-o-gold of nests for the #NestParasiteStudy.

Are you a box-nesting bird landlord? Want to send me your nests? DM me!!

Great example of @LafCol undergraduates doing some great science! https://t.co/QG8H4znw1F
