And it's out! I'm excited to share the first chapter of my dissertation, now published in @RSocPublishing Proceedings B: https://t.co/R4ZixpSWnF

"Testosterone regulates CYP2J19-linked carotenoid signal expression in male red-backed fairywrens (Malurus melanocephalus)"

unbelievable that I'm supposed to give Columbia/Barnard students an exam on political theories of freedom after this

I have just heard the voice of my mum for the first time in two days. She started crying when she heard my voice. She told me “I swear when they cut all connections and I couldn’t talk to you or Feras (my brother) it was worse than cutting off water. I was suffocating, thank god I can hear your voices again.” She was coughing a lot and couldn’t speak much. Soon I learned that she has a bad chest infection from all the pollution there is after the bombs and because people are using cooking oil instead of fuel to operate the cars. She is very sick and her immunity is super weak due to lack of food and water. I can’t even to begin imagining how children in hospitals are feeling with severe injuries and no medical help. I am thinking about all those who are in pain right now and not getting treatment. What my mother is going through is nothing compared to the suffering of those with who are getting amputated without anaesthesia. I can’t even begin to imagine the level of pain they’re in…

Thanks to everyone who followed the pink beacon and came over to chat! I appreciate all the love for the poster - it was really fun to get a little creative with it! 💖 #AOS_SCO23

This Barbie studies birds.

Come check out some of my new work exploring plumage color in pink (and other) Australasian robins at tonight’s poster session! #pinkbirds #AOS_SCO23

[BirdLife Australia @BirdlifeOz]

These birds were pretty in pink long before Barbie!

The male Pink Robin is pink due to pigments absorbed in its diet. The Galah-and all other parrots, design their pink in-house through a pigment found nowhere else in nature!

Someone call Lucia the seamstress to fix this. I believe in her

I still can’t believe it, but I’ll begin January 2024 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at @RhodesCollege in Memphis, TN! This job is a dream come true, and I’m grateful for so many people in my journey that helped me get to this place in my career:⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

Love these little weirdos

[Dr Andrew Katsis @andrew_katsis]

If you spend enough hours watching fairy-wrens, you will eventually see them do something weird. In our new paper, we tell the story of GOOx, the young fledgling who jumped ship to a new family: a🧵

[Dr Andrew Katsis @andrew_katsis]

In summary: Tom Iredale coined the name “fairy-wren” back in 1924 because he thought these little fluffballs deserved a name befitting their nature. He also thought red-backed fairy-wrens [pictured] should be called “elfin wrens”, but that one never took off.

@ferrisifolius thanks Katie!!

[Sarah Khalil @SarahInTheField]

In a new career milestone, today I received the mythical "accepted with minor revisions" decision for my manuscript.

Happy Friday, and keep your eyes out for some new carotenoid coloration work in fairywrens coming very soon!!

@kyubirrd thanks!!

Today we caught all these birds in the same locality. What lies behind the phenotype of the Flame and Lemon rumps? Stay tuned to know more 🤯 @TropBioLab @cdanielcadena
