I joined this site to follow a tree @awitnesstree and have stayed for the scientific community and the opportunity to listen to and learn from people different from me.

@BrettHaber The bird is a night jar of some kind, not a hawk. It might be a whip-poor-will. They are are nocturnal and catch bugs in midair.

@SourceDuMal Oh, and my mom got her masters and then Ph. D. in mythological studies after she retired (65ish) after rasing 2 kids and a ho-hum job writing abstracts for news & magazines. She is really great at summarizing!

@simongerman600 What's up with Trinidad and Tobago? Osmosis? New water treatment facility getting built? The entire country is taking freshman biology at once?

@AMNH Terrifying!

@KuhnboBio Depends on alternate hyp. or if the variable doesn't exist in the other direction or its irrelevant to your question. Say, a variable that is small but only positive values, you would only expect X>mu0. Or if there's an increase in a variable it doesn't matter just a decrease.

@AmOrnith #BirdNamesForBirds at last! 🥳

[American Ornithological Society @AmOrnith]

BREAKING: AOS will change all English bird names currently named after people within its geographic jurisdiction—one step in an effort to address past wrongs and engage more people in the enjoyment, protection and study of birds. https://t.co/EgGbux7TPR #BirdNames

@CollegeOpp @CalCommColleges @calstate ADT degrees are on fire at Grossmont. Biology had maybe 5 AS a year before implementation and now more like 40 a year. 🥳 The degree gets students something so they apply for it. #grossmontcollege

[Campaign for College @CollegeOpp]

The Campaign for College Opportunity is thrilled to recognize 18 @CalCommColleges & 9 @calstate campuses as the 2023 Champions of Higher Education! These campuses are leading the way in simplifying transfer thru implementation of the historic Associate Degree for Transfer!

@wiscobirder Teaching historically was underpaid and unvalued women's work and the legacy continues. Male teachers, welcome to the pay gap.
