Ready for my chronic wasting disease presentation at the Wildlife and Exotic Animal Symposium. I've been documenting the spread for 20 years now!

Ten billion snow crabs lost due to shifts in ocean temperatures. Pretty soon we'll have to start eating algae. Or Soylent Green.

From Dr Stallknecht’s influenza presentation at WDA. He does a great job of pointing the way to solutions. Basic science is critical, but it’s application is just as important.

At the Wildlife Disease Association meeting. Great plenary presentation from David Stallknecht on HP avian influenza. This slide sums it up. Our current troubles with wild bird mortality are a direct result of this Guangdong lineage persisting in the environment for nearly 30 yrs

Check out Omar Viera's publication on morbillivirus in sea lions! He used tissue explants to show how the virus interacts with and possibly influences the expression of its receptors in host cells. I am grateful to have had Omar in my lab.

@BrianToad Clearly this guy was enraged. Whoever is currently responsible for the stabbings must have a serious mental illness. I don't believe a mentally competent person could stab an innocent person repeatedly to kill them. My mind can't even process that.

@BrianToad Pretty ballsy of him to chase you down of all people. I would never want to corner you.

The roads were flooded and this one didn’t want to share the road. Big beautiful cottonmouth. Just an ugly temper for me making it move.

@atyourcervid $8,000!! What the Hell did you do to your garage?

@BiologyCarly This is the fantasy I live over and over again. But I figure I am better off to just ignore the haters.

@ACVP Callie tells me I need to quit working on this manuscript. My co-authors disagree with Callie!

[Kevin Keel @KevKeel]

This seems weird. So I have to post more and pester more people to be accepted as a real person? Feels like I'm being punished for taking a vacation from Twitter.

[Kevin Keel @KevKeel]

Just found a very cool article about bird flight. Alpine swifts can stay in the air for 200 days! In comparison, I can't sit at my computer for more than 2 hours.

@gottdenk @wyomingdoc I could but I'm scared of all the crawfish in our duck blinds!

[Kevin Keel @KevKeel]

Check out our new article on the pathogenesis of white-nose syndrome in #bats! If anybody is still on twitter.
Nice work from Piya Eiamcharoen. It got her a first place ribbon for her poster at the ACVP meeting! Proud to have been her adviser.

@HazelrigCorinna Take some pictures! Other than the one I saw at the bottom of the river, I’ve only seen one other and it was dead on the road.

@wyomingdoc Like I've said before, the voting is overwhelmingly partisan these days. If the Republicans had nominated a damned chicken it would have probably gotten about the same results.

Congratulations to Piyaporn Eiamcharoen on her 1st place poster at ACVP! She presented on adherence of Pseudogymnoascus destructans, the #fungus that causes white-nose syndrome in #bats. She is an exceptional (former) grad student and soon to be an exceptional faculty member!
