Bid now at the American Ornithological Society silent auction: "LEK" a resource management board game based on lance-tailed manakin behavior and breeding biology. For people who love "Catan" but wish it had more bird sex. Proceeds benefit student research. Created by the amazing EW Schunke. #AOS2025

Thanks, Gita! And here's the QR code I MEANT to share, which links to that stockpile of past-presidential career advice.

It was a good weekend to get outside. Manatees congregating in Wakulla Springs State Park, in advance of the coming winter weather.

A favorite FSU tradition continued today: Field Day! Our entire bio department got together to just... hang out and play. This year: soccer, kickball, frisbee, team rock-paper-scissors, kubb, 18th century dancing, paper airplane contest, badminton, a "slow bike race," a potluck, and s'mores.

Congratulations to Dr. Pearl Rivers, who did a great job of defending her dissertation research today!

When your two grad students are also your two TAs and you get to "work" together at surveying protected areas for shorebirds with the ornithology class on a gorgeous Saturday. 💕 (Not pictured: 30 undergrads, several of whom were just as happy as us)
