I can’t describe what a thrill exploring a new part of our planet has been. It’s just totally unbelievable. My mind is blown. #OctoOdyssey @SchmidtOcean

My student Griffin just sent me this profoundly sad photo of a Great Bowerbird bower. The painting on the right depicts what the bower should look like, filled with pebbles, shells, and bones. Nowadays, the birds use what they can most easily find in their surroundings: garbage.

@evornithology Faaaaaack

@evolambert Also huge congratulations, can’t wait to see what you do in the position 🙌

[Holly L. Lutz @fieldomics]

@evolambert Ooooh let’s talk about disease surveillance and ecology of EIDs at the human-wildlife interface!

@elbasti @xkcd I am so, so sorry… 😬👀

[Holly L. Lutz @fieldomics]

Bats. I just don’t trust them. @xkcd

[Holly L. Lutz @fieldomics]

@ATinyGreenCell @DenverMuseumNS Let’s chat some time, I would love to tell you all about it. I’ve been fascinated by your work for a long time as well and would love to hear more!

[Holly L. Lutz @fieldomics]

Now that I have keys+office, I guess I can share that I have officially begun my role as Curator of Mammals @DenverMuseumNS. I am honored to join this institution and could not be more thrilled to be part of such an innovative and forward-thinking group of people (and specimens).

[Holly L. Lutz @fieldomics]

@phylodiversity @DenverMuseumNS Thank you Sushma, honored to join your ranks, and hope to lean on you for (more) guidance!

[Holly L. Lutz @fieldomics]

@evornithology @DenverMuseumNS BRO. Mammals > Birds. FIGHT ME. (Jk don’t birds are sick and I love them)

[Holly L. Lutz @fieldomics]

A small blessing during these trying times.

Internet needs more cat content, so here is our new 4mo kitten Riven walking on a leash like a total pro

@OneNerdyOpinion I think you know what you need to do.

@EliotITMiller This is fascinating! Awesome work 🙌
