And that’s a wrap for my 2023 Field Season! I am beyond grateful for the (sometimes wild) experiences I’ve had these past three weeks while sampling blood from 60 Morelet’s crocodiles across Belize with the amazing @CrocResCoal, the FCD, and the Belize Forest Department! 🐊🩸

@SMichelMata @Nature Congratulations!!!!!

Special thanks to my co-authors who were incredibly supportive while I navigated the field of analytical toxicology! We hope this study may provide insight into a broader landscape of contamination in these areas.

[Yeraldi Loera @YeraldiLoera]

I’m happy to share that our study quantifying heavy metals in bird feathers from protected areas in the Amazon was published this week! This study brought together a great group of researchers (and feathers!) to describe exposure near oil and gold mining.

@FelixJBerrios Best of luck!!! You will absolutely nail it. 👏👏

[Erin Phillips @erin__phillips]

It’s us! 🦁

[Yeraldi Loera @YeraldiLoera]

This couldn’t have been possible without the incredible mentorship and sampling help from @doc_tellez @croc_fit @ShawnHeflick and everyone else at the CRC! HUGE shout out to my lab for helping me plan my first solo/leading field trip too! @SCampbellstaton @Princeton 🐊 🐅

REU Done ✅
These past 10 weeks have been filled with a lot of learning and growing as a scientist. Working on this project taught me a lot and I’m really proud of my work!

[CrocResCoalition @CrocResCoal]

A quick look at our research in Chiquibul Forest with the Morelet’s crocs. We were collecting blood for a graduate student’s thesis

[Yeraldi Loera @YeraldiLoera]

I feel so honored to have been invited to sit in on the Orange walk town council meeting where Jonathan presented his work with the CRC! I look forward to contributing to the study of pollution in New River. 🍊 🐊

[CrocResCoalition @CrocResCoal]

CRC Biologist Jonathan Triminio met with the Orange Walk Town Council to present the prelim findings of the New River project. While Year 2 of this comes to an end, there is a lot more work to be done, and collaborating with the local Gov’t is key for the success of this project.

[Yeraldi Loera @YeraldiLoera]

Croc sampling in Chiquibul with the one and only @doc_tellez,@ShawnHeflick,@croc_fit, and the awesome researchers from the Belize Forest Dep. was a fun and crazy adventure I’ll never forget! I’m so grateful to this powerhouse of a team for helping me lead my first field project!

[Marisa Tellez, PhD 🇧🇿🐊 @doc_tellez]

Heading out to Chiquibul Forest today the study one of the last remaining pure populations of Morelet’s crocs in country.

Croc talk later this week as I’m about to go off the grid!

[Princeton University @Princeton]

Tonight (7/12) on #HumanFootprintPBS, @SCampbellstaton will turn the cameras on his own research, studying tuskless elephants in Mozambique. Why is this happening and is it driven by human activity?

Tune in to @PBS at 9/8c.

@ChrisTokita I’m from the reddest of red and I can attest to this. Not to mention the industrial super stacks and rock quarry’s…

July 5 is commonly the worst air-quality day of the year in Greater Los Angeles due to all the fireworks. Air quality maps really highlight the environmental/health inequity across the region.

(Generally, ocean-adjacent = wealthier and more white residents than city average.)

Shane-Ception! Special premiere of Human Footprint on @pbs with the star @SCampbellstaton

If you are interested in a PhD concerning thermophysiology or biomechanics, you MUST check out the new lab of @arummel25. So sad to see her go from our lab, but I I can’t wait to keep up with her awesome anole and bat work! 🦎 🦇

[Andrea Rummel, Ph.D. @arummel25]

It’s time to announce that I will be joining Rice BioSciences as an Assistant Professor this year! I’ll be recruiting PhD students this fall to begin in Rice’s EEB program in fall of 2024 - email me if you’re interested in thermal physiology or biomechanics!
