Wisdom, the world’s oldest known wild bird, recently returned to Midway Atoll!
The beloved Laysan albatross, or mōlī, is at least 71 years old. Biologists first identified and banded Wisdom in 1956 after she laid an egg, and the large seabirds aren’t known to breed before age 5.

Ten more days left to express your interest in joining my lab as a PhD student starting Fall 2023! Feel free to email me too. Info on the lab website. Let's study how microbes move together! (We'll work together, but also microbes move together 😁)
Core problem is this: there's no real evidence for lab origin, but due to China's obfuscation, it can't be definitively refuted either. So it become a sort of Rorschach test that hinges on your priors.
