Mom I’m on @netflix. David Attenborough narrated my research I can die happy now. #lifeincolor #colsci @RZ_Lab

Check out our article in @NSTA Science Scope highlighting the inquiry-driven module we created with the @RZ_Lab, Ectotherm ER: Frogs Under the Weather, connecting amphibian decline with climate change https://t.co/8RVfZv2vdF

[RZ Amphibian Lab @RZ_Lab]

Our science module has now been published! It was such a fun project and we’re so proud of the module we created. Thanks so much to our teacher co-authors and NSF for allowing us to assist science education in middle school on such important topics! https://t.co/htdZw65IlF

So excited about Sir David Attenborough's new nature documentary "Life in Colour"!! Super happy to be involved a tiny bit (scientific consultant) and can't wait to see all of the episodes when it airs in the US!! #colsci #poisonfrog #sexualselection

#SICB2021 is starting! Time to start binge-watching talks 🤓 Check out my talk of my PhD projects with @Cori_Zawacki on the evolution of color polymorphism and reproductive isolation in the strawberry poison frog here: https://t.co/ui38rYzKYm

👏👏 @LA_Brannelly gave a great keynote presentation as the Wiley #NextGenerationEcologist award winner at #ESAus20 this morning! Alpine tree frogs have a plastic reproductive response to chytrid infection and understanding this mechanism helps us protect the endangered species🐸

Here’s 40” by 40” of amphibian admiration! This piece is from my 2018 artist residency at @RZ_Lab . It’s included in a catalog of works from 2018 and prior. Message me here or at https://t.co/aGW55bUh1f to get the PDF with prices for your holiday shopping.

Happy to announce a PhD position available in my lab to work on an NSF funded project studying the role of learning in speciation (using poison frogs as a model system) in @PittBioSci in the @RZ_Lab

[Yusan Yang 楊雨珊 @yusan_yang]

The last of my main thesis chapters now published in @BehavEcol 🎉 Females prefer same-colored males in the polymorphic strawberry poison frog, but male territorial competition can limit pref expression. #colsci

So incredibly proud of @Layla_Freeborn, who defended her dissertation today and became the newest Dr. to emerge from the @RZ_Lab ! 🐸❤️🤗🤓🙌

[Yusan Yang 楊雨珊 @yusan_yang]

Paper out 🥳 Prior residence effect, not color or body size, determines success in male-male territorial competition in the wild in a polymorphic poison frog population.

Inspired by how happy I was finding guppy silhouettes yesterday, here's my contribution: poison frog researchers, here are some strawberry poison frog (Oophaga pumilio) silhouettes if you need it for making figures. Uploaded to @PhyloPic: https://t.co/GdosQfa1dv #poisonfrog

An international collaboration of researchers has found that frog diseases can be detected in environmental samples like soil and water @LA_Brannelly @onehealthres @FVASunimelb
