Teaching is a privilege. Witnessed 60 little faces light up (and a few get totally grossed out) touching wet spinning clay on a beautiful day.

Nonprofit life, garden life, and pottery life converge: ceramic garden markers made for @thegardenworksproject auction. Gardenworks grows food, and feeds people in Dupage County, IL. We funnel locally grown veggies into the food pantries and directly into the hands of those who need it.

The first paper of your PhD is always so exciting! 🤩 An all-#Galbatross effort, "A focus on females can improve science and conservation!" See press release (www.audubon.org/news/researc...) and the study here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...! #FemaleBirds #FemaleBirdDay
In Research, Ignoring Female Birds Harms Scientific Understanding
A new study shows that ecological research often ignores or excludes data on female birds and behavior, resulting in erroneous assumptions on conservation.
