Life update: my job is to hold birds!🐦

In August, I started my graduate position at @UNTsocial studying wintering American Kestrels with Dr. James Bednarz.

I can't believe my first semester is almost over, but that just means it's field season time❄️🦅

Hello Twitter! It's been awhile. I have been traveling the US in my 1987 Winnebago since May. I have been to 10 states, and will soon be going to Canada for the first time! Here are some of my favorite pictures from the trip so far🌎🏔⛺️

A small frog is making big headlines thanks to the intriguing findings of researchers, led by #SIUECAS’s Richard Essner, PhD, professor in the Dept. of Biological Sciences. The clumsy pumpkin toadlet study was published in the prestigious @ScienceAdvances. https://t.co/jNHA3Pem8F
