Goodbye Los Angeles and #AABA2024! Thank you to AABA for organizing such an amazing conference. Saw old friends, met new ones, @SamanthaQueeno presented some of her dissertation results, and we took in some sights. It was an epic trip!
Congrats to @DianaMChristie on successfully defending + depositing her dissertation. Amazing research on social transmission, development, and plasticity in the gut microbiome. It’s sad to see Dr. Christie leave but we’re excited to see her continue to make her mark on the world!
@DianaMChristie has been at @NCZoo for the past 5 months conducting an internship funded by the NSF INTERN program. A great way for students to better understand non-academic job sectors + develop key professional networks. Thanks @NSF for the support! @RebeccaJFerrell
Another successful Forensics in the Forest outreach activity for UO Summer Spice Camp. Thanks @ChicsDigScience for providing @KNSterner and students with the opportunity!
UO Commencement 2023! Congrats again to the amazing Dr. @ckgoodfellow. We’re so going to miss you, but super excited to see you continue on your path. Good luck starting your new position with @taaltree next month!
Congratulations to @ckgoodfellow on a successful PhD dissertation defense! Wonderful work on the elephants of Bwindi Impenetrable NP and Kibale NP by an amazing scientist.
