Interested in what #fieldwork is like in an Alaskan winter? Curiousity peaked by the ecology of a winter-nesting passerine, like the #Canadajay? Goal is to tweet once/day about CAJA field research in @DenaliNPS!

Aranya Iyer @aranya6776 studies how birds use magnetic cues to navigate, but does not test if putting a magnet in your yard will attract that rare bird you are chasing. She is also interested in #SciComm and how to make academia accessible. IG: @nerdmeetsbird. #FeatureFriday

Pseudoscorpian: crawling on wall next to desk.

Me: squashes unsightly tick/scorpion creature

Me: looks up information about pseudoscorpians

Website: "they feed on small, annoying creatures. If you find one in your house, be kind and thank them for their service"

Me: woops.

This photo was from April 2018 during 🐻 spray training. We thought it was fun and unusual to be wearing #Masks.

Foreshadowing?

Shall we rewrite the popular idiom "kill two birds with one stone" to "help two birds with one seed" ? (courtesy of @faisal_moola) #ornithology #idioms

If anyone is going through something similar, I am open to talk, listen, and discuss. Just send a DM.

After 1.5 yrs of building momentum in my MSc, I halted my research, moved home, and cared for my terminally ill mom. It was the right decision. Returning to my research a year later is strange/difficult but she taught me to finish what I start. #keepgoing #actuallivingscientist
