Aylett Lipford @kataylett is running for student councilor. She's an MS student @LSU studying marshbird use of created wetlands. Aylett served as an officer for TWS. She would work hard to represent students & early career scientists, and bring new ideas and enthusiasm to council

Scary looking lab find! Apparently red knots think these dragon-like insect larvae are very tasty! #lablife @VTShorebirds @SteelScientist

It's #MadagascarMonday! Weekly market days are great opportunities to see some unusual sights. These men are kicking it old school with their home made #forge for tool construction and repair #HokiesforLemurs @kataylett @IleMadagascar

Madagascarophis colubrinus is a mildly venomous, rear-fanged snake endemic to Madagascar. Despite their scary look, they are very docile little guys! #madagascarmonday #hokiesforlemurs @brandonsemel

People often think that conservationists care more about #animals than people. But the reality is, #conservation is meaningless without people! #Madagascar #WednesdayWisdom #HokiesforLemurs @kataylett @vt_cnre @WWF

#FlashbackFriday to that time when we almost didn't make it out of #Madagascar... @kataylett

[Marcella J. Kelly @marcellajkelly]

It is #FridayFelid time from @DavidCMcNitt from @whapavt. This time you get a bonus coyote from our scavenging study in Bath County, VA, funded by @VDGIF. This disgruntled bobcat watches coyote turn up at bait site and feed for over and hour !!

Watching #lemurs w/in sight of the ocean! @VTShorebirds @kataylett @globalchangevt #VTShorelemurs #hokiesforlemurs @vt_cnre @LemurNetwork

Yasmi (right) graduated top of her class in Bio from University of Tana. Here she explains how to follow #lemurs to collect behavioral data! #MeetTheFieldCrew #Madagascar #womeninscience

[Brandon Semel, PhD @brandonsemel]

Waiting for a #lemur to #poop can be dangerous business! But we'll use fecal #DNA to determine how well they can move b/n forest fragments

Here, fireworks help us celebrate July 4. In Africa, fireworks can #SaveElephants. Really! @nature_africa https://t.co/wHYeVHLgGc

Pretty much no animals in #Madagascar will kill you, but hisses from dozens of #cockroaches hiding under a rock could induce a heart attack!

[Virginia Tech CNRE @vt_cnre]
