Please share!
Our lab at LSU @lsuscience.bsky.social is looking for a student to join us in Spring or Fall 2026.
If you are interested in mountain birds and GENOMICS, and want to work on a project in Bolivian cloud forests, send me an email montanolab.com/join-us/

So, so happy and proud to share that our urban pollinator's team, lead by Rhayza Cortes, is working on the morphological measurements of not one... but EIGHT potential new species of bees for science, collected in La Paz city and surroundings.

So cheers! For the first year of the Montano Lab of Tropical Ecology at LSU Department of Biological Sciences.
