Thermal imaging opens multiple windows into wild animal physiology!
Our new systematic review surveys links between body surface temperatures and four key physiological processes to identify approaches likely to push the technique to it's full potential.

I am recruiting 1-2 graduate students (M.S. or Ph.D. track) to join my lab at @psychualberta.bsky.social in Fall 2026! Please share widely, and if you are interested in endocrinology, animal behavior, neuroscience, and/or seasonal biology, I would love to chat! 🐟🧠🧬🍂

Physiological responses of wild birds to artificial grass during introduction to laboratory housing
Introduction of wild animals to captivity induces chronic stress often leading to weight loss, increases in baseline corticosterone, and increased DNA damage. To mitigate these effects, providing enri...

DEI is under attack, but the stakes are higher than many realize. Universities *must stand firm* in defending it. I lay out why in my latest piece for Nature.
Silence is complicity. Without DEI, we fail our students, our research, and our future.

‘Silence is complicity’ — universities must fight the anti-DEI crackdown
Higher-education establishments must not be bullied into abandoning their mission of diversity, equity and inclusion.

Excited that my first post here is to introduce our new R package, "profrep", for quantifying Profile Repeatability of individuals' stress response curves! Install it directly in your RStudio console using install.packages("profrep") and find more information here ubeattie.github.io/profrep/
An R package for profile repeatability calculation
Calculate profile repeatability for your stress physiology experiments!
