Long overdue update on setting up a sustainable lab. First, THANK YOU to everyone who replied with suggestions! ❤️ all the enthusiasm for reducing lab waste! Thread on what I found, loosely organized from easy (low cost, low effort) to challenging to implement. 🧵(1/n)

My team has just updated our already large database of PhD/Graduate fellowships and graduate student research funding opportunities. We found 200. For each fellowship, we provide link, description, deadline, eligibility, etc. Download here: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-op…

We got fungus🤘🏼! Plated from post-mortem sampling of the common loon respiratory system. #ecology #grad #ScienceTwitter #research

We got more #fungus. Stoked about samples but holy shit this poor bird! #ecology #necropsy #ornithology #OneHealth

Anyone have an explanation as to why this loon had tons of sand in its esophagus? Picked up alive on beach, brought to rehabber in RI, died that night then was frozen until necropsy. #sciencetwitter #AcademicChatter #ornithology

This week BRI scientists have been conducting bat surveys in New Jersey! BRI researches several bat species including the Northern Long-eared Bat, Eastern Small-footed Bat, Little Brown Bat, and Indiana Bat. #Science #BiodiversityResearch #FieldWork #BatResearch #Bats

Just wrapped up two nights of common loon capture! Caught 16 adult common loons and a handful of chicks. All capture and handling is done with permitting. #FieldWorkFriday #fieldwork #Ecology #ornithology BRI

Field biologists, I’ve got a meme for you:

It is reckless and illegal to give your true love any amount of wild birds for Christmas.

Busy but exciting year coming to a close. Very thankful for the support I’ve received - especially grateful to Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine 🐕🐈🐴🐄🦅 and Center for Wildlife for hosting necropsy events!

NEW: In Science Magazine today, our latest peer-reviewed research shows Exxon scientists predicted global warming with shocking skill & accuracy between 1977 & 2003, contradicting the company's decades of climate denial. THREAD. 📰No pay wall for 2 weeks: bit.ly/ExxonKnew2poin…

Hey, #microplastic folks! How would you characterize/quantify these plastic particles? Fiber bundles? This common loon was found beached in coastal RI, died in rehab facility next day. Fishing jig containing lead found in proventriculus on necropsy.

Our wonderful lab manager is moving on and we are looking for someone equally wonderful to take their place! Application deadline is March 1. Please see job ad for details: wfscjobs.tamu.edu/jobs/lab-and-c…
