My lab had the pleasure of collaborating with colleagues from @texastech.bsky.social on a joint field expedition in Kansas and Nebraska! In total, 4 students, 1 postbac, and 3 PIs participated on the trip. We even had the opportunity of crashing at the Thompson Ranch for an evening...

The University of Michigan crew is in full force at the Annual Meeting of the @mammalogists.bsky.social!!! It’s been great to bring so many current and former students together.

Some of the #ummz mammal division students got in on a little moose antler cleaning today!!! The antlers were part of a donation to our collection, but needed a little TLC before going into the cabinets.

This week I hosted a group from @unccharlotte! The UNC students received training in field biology, mammals & museums, as well as science communication. As a capstone, the students are doing an outreach event on bats today at the @UMMNH.

I had the opportunity to speak to @LucyAnnLance last week! The interview focused primarily on local wildlife and their adaptations for cold, and aired this morning on 1290 AM in Ann Arbor.#gobluemammalogy #naturalhistory #collectionsareessential

Peace out @VisitAnchorage!!! I hope everyone enjoyed the science and community of #imc13. Thanks to everyone for a rewarding 9 years as @Mammalogists program director/chair, and good luck to @jdelton as he leads @MammalMeetings going forward. See you next year at #asmboulder!!!

If you are @VisitAnchorage for the #imc13 meeting, be sure to check out @SnowCityCafe in the downtown! It’s a short walk from the conference hotels, and they have free coffee while you wait…

Congrats to Lydia Thomas for presenting results from her @MichiganBiology undergrad research project!!! Lydia will be taking a gap year before pursuing a graduate program.

You can tell a lot about a #naturalhistory museum by looking at its shipping boxes! In #mammalogy, wood crates are often used to ship specimens. This box was sent by the @ROMtoronto to the #ummz, but it also has spent time at the @AMNH & @zsiwrcpune.

The @UMichEEB undergraduate general biology course is getting a #BehindTheScenes tour of the #ummz, #um_herb, and @UMichPaleo collections!!! That’s 800+ @UMich and @umichLSA students learning why #naturalhistory #collectionsareessential

Well, this is the only place for several miles with any cell service! A fitting spot to drink a little coffee and end my 2022 fieldwork…
