I study how genetics impacts the fitness of birds. Mostly I spend a lot of time in the field 🌿

@JnxOuaquaga Did you find the guineafowl one? I can't find it either!

This. I wish in my undergrad I had learned how to analyse data (rather than memorize the structure of amino acids). Learning R as a post doc has been a slow process. Data science or analysis (coding, better stats courses, computer sci) should be a core part of undergrad degrees!

Great talk by @bradsey on urban powerful owls - how much space, what habitat, and how they use the urban landscape #aoc2019

Sorry that @Aquila84WA couldn't make it to the #AOC2019 but his video presentation was excellent! Wedgies are lucky to have you 😁
