I was lucky enough to catch sunrise and morning flight earlier today with some other #hawkmountain trainees at North Lookout! Amazing views and great company! @ Hawk Mountain Sanctuary https://t.co/zTOZ8glJmb

@TheTinyBirdGirl Thanks a ton Bre!! I look forward to our next diner waffle adventure and I can't wait to spend Big Day together!

[Michael Rowley @MikeLikesBirds]

Thanks so much Bre!! It's certainly been a crazy ride with COVID messing everything up, but I'm so honored I got to experience it with you! Very excited for both of our futures 😁

[Breanna Bennett @TheTinyBirdGirl]

I can’t stop smiling because my bestie is now a MASTER OF SCIENCE!!!!

@MikeLikesBirds gave such an excellent defense presentation and my heart is swelling with pride. 🖤🖤🖤

I’m so lucky this lab brought us together. Love you buddy, you’re amazing. Well done!!! 🥰🖤

Research from the @keomland Lab finds population of critically endangered Bahama Oriole may be 10x larger than expected!

@keomland Congrats @byancy_ ! A very important paper for understanding the nesting behavior and conservation needs of the Bahama Oriole!

The Ben Barres Fellowship is a $2000-$5000 award for professional development of trans, intersex, and non-binary graduate students and post-doctoral fellows in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Deadline Sept 10!!! https://t.co/Q8aZb3qSAY

@scamander14 I heard about that! I hope you and your friends are safe there. It's such a shame that institutions are seemingly blinded to the outcome (or just don't care) that their decisions are going to make people sick.

[Michael Rowley @MikeLikesBirds]

Glad I deferred starting my PhD.. The current situation with so many institutions making the wrong moves (including ULL and Villanova) is tragic and completely avoidable

Hi I’m Rebekah (+ late to #BlackInNeuroRollCall thread)! I’m a 3rd ur PhD student at @PrincetonNeuro. I study the effects that early life stress has on epigenetics in reward regions of the brain. Excited for this week of #BlackInNeuro !! 🧠👩🏾‍🔬👸🏾

[Michael Rowley @MikeLikesBirds]

I love going through old field notes and recordings and finding little Easter eggs I left myself.. this past field season with @TheTinyBirdGirl was definitely one for the books

[Michael Rowley @MikeLikesBirds]

@ElizaGrames @gabbspalomo I'd be happy to give it a shot!

[Jessica Vaden, PhD @jessvadenpitt]

Black students of every age, but particularly those in graduate school (because this is where I’m at now), are barely holding it together while they watch other students, faculty and staff on calls, in emails, and on video chats act like business is happening as usual.

[Breanna Bennett @TheTinyBirdGirl]

I would like to know what @VU_Biology @VUGradStudies @clasvillanova are specifically doing to ensure the safety AND support of our Black students, staff, and faculty at this time.

Using the recent email from our university’s president as an umbrella response is not enough.

[Michael Rowley @MikeLikesBirds]

If you can't donate, please contact your representatives (https://t.co/2MT104rQD1) and demand to know what they are doing to ensure the safety of the black people they represent. #BLACK_LIVES_MATTER

If you aren't able to be outside protesting right now, this list provides a starting point for supporting efforts that combat racial injustice in this country. This especially goes for my white friends and followers.

[Lin-Manuel Miranda @Lin_Manuel]

Black lives matter. If you are feeling helpless, here's a starter of actionable items. God keep you safe.
