A group of biology students from my institution (@RockfordUniv) is fundraising for a class trip to Utah this summer where they will get experience in the field looking for fossils. Any donations are appreciated!

In writing my bird eye color review paper, I’ve looked at thousands of bird eyes. Here’s a thread of my top 10 favorites ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Why do birds have all these crazy eye colors? Check out our paper, out now in Ibis: https://t.co/dHysSY1Fr8

Why do yellow pigments look redder when there's more pigment or a longer pathlength? To explain why, we discuss the carotenoid redshift & beautiful tanager birds in @Ecol_Evol! New paper with @ajshultz622, Jackie Dall, @Dionne_Group, & @sonkelab

Stats-savvy colleagues... Are you interested in providing feedback on part of a manuscript that discusses how to statistically analyze SEX?

We've gotten favorable reviews on the broader manuscript, but are looking for a critical eye on the stats section before publication.

[Elizabeth Barnes @lizard_barnacle]

If anyone is interested in doing a post doc in STEM education research as part of an @NSF funded postdoctoral cohort, we will be recruiting soon at MTSU!

The problem is quite the opposite. Medical curriculum isn’t covering this information enough! Thank you Dr Z for including this information in your lectures. We have so much more work to do on our campus and across the country. #medcurriculumreform #inclusion

It's often said: White kids, upon being taught the history of racism, will feel guilty or bad about being White. In fact, White kids who receive antiracist history lessons exhibit fewer racist ideas about Black people while their attitudes about White people are unaffected.

Peep this! 👇

So excited to share this book project with y'all! This has been a labor of love for Max and I, with a ton of rockstar contributors.

Some folks are in my mentions saying they don’t care what color their doctor is and all they want is a qualified doctor. BUT, the data shows for Black patients, the race of our health professionals does INDEED make a difference in the care we receive. Sad, but reality.

This is going to be pretty devastating for Native kids, especially from reservations. Hard to compete on academic metrics alone when our schools are criminally underfunded.
