Excited to present tomorrow in the American Ornithological Society’s Student Research Seminar Series!
I’ll be talking about my dissertation research into how cardinals are evolving in response to urbanization.

Another new article, led by Diego Olivo! "Avian circoviruses and hepadnaviruses identified in tissue samples of various waterfowl" I had a lot of fun dissecting waterfowl with this group of scientists, and with very cool results!

Excited to share my work on LGBTQ biology education! We found that directly discussing queerness in the animal world improves LGBTQ students’s sense of belonging, and elevates all students’ comprehension of animal behavior.
