The Dogs of 2022

To ring out the old & herald the new, I’ll end 2022 with my most viral tweet: a common interspecies partnership between coyote and badger that reminds us that collaboration of all kinds is possible. Another world is possible. 🎥Peninsula Open Space Trust

I had great company on the park’s paved path today. The first three Sandhill Cranes are a family, and are followed by a couple on the grass. There’s a big size difference in the couple; I believe one is a Greater subspecies, the other Fun-size (also known as “Lesser”) subspecies.

This past year I was lucky to catch the aurora 21 times, mostly from Wyoming and Montana. Here are a few favorites

Earned my doctorate & became a neuroscience professor ✨

Great curling score 😂

A few moments from the celebration of Sarah Crump's scientific legacy today. Speakers described the joy and support she brought to all alongside her brilliant, collaborative, creative science. We're the better for her and are inspired to carry that forward.

Good morning #Evol2023 I'll be giving my talk today in just a couple hours! 9:45 in Aztec 140 (Gene Expression I)

Come check out my poster proposing my project to investigate spatial cognition in black-capped chickadees and mountain chickadees! Today at 5:30-8:00 pm! #Evo2023

Peruvians at #Evol2023!! Todos aquí haciendo charlas explicando sobre nuestro trabajo en biología evolutiva!! #CienciaPeruana All of us sharing our research in evolutionary biology!

Super proud of my lab for presenting their amazing work at #Evol2023 tonight!

I cannot believe it, but I found out today that I am a recipient of a 2024 National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship! I am beyond shocked and honored to have received such a prestigious award.

Lost your 🔑? Can’t remember where you parked the 🚗? If only you had the memory of a mountain chickadee! @Dr_Scott_Taylor's lab led a multi-univ study that ID'd ~100 genes assoc w the birds’ great spatial memory & looked at their long-term vs new memory colorado.edu/today/2024/04/…
