SOOTHING BIRD FACT 🐦

The only birds with truly green feathers are the turacos, which produce a unique coppery pigment called turacoverdin. All other "green" birds create the color through light's interaction with their feathers' molecular structure.

I attended the best plenary lecture I’ve ever seen today. Everyone should watch Anna Rosling Ronnlund’s TED talk and use Mind the Gap! Thanks #gcdataconference2025 and #nrcan for hosting her!

Just another gannet Monday

Seaside cliff on an overcast day. The shot looks across the cliffs that are home to colonies of gannets and other seabirds. In the distance the welcome center for Cape St. Mary’s ecological reserve can be seen.

Hiding from Monday

#MondayMotivation
A tiny Goldcrest clings to a slender branch, its round body tucked almost entirely behind it as though trying to disappear. Its bright, curious eye peeks out from the side.

Flyer promoting a workshop for the Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) aimed at plant researchers. The top section asks, 'Are you applying for the GRFP this fall?' and invites students to join a workshop to improve their applications with feedback from peers and mentors. The workshop includes an introductory session with a program officer and small group feedback sessions with a previous grant recipient, a PI, or a postdoc mentor. A QR code is provided for registration, with a deadline of September 9th. The lower section asks if individuals are interested in helping students write stronger applications. It invites graduate students who received a GRFP, postdocs, PIs, or research scientists to mentor 4-6 applicants by reviewing their applications. A second QR code is provided for mentor registration by September 9th. Both QR codes are positioned to the right side of the text.
