Associate Professor-Zoologist at U Toronto Scarborough. Interested in things with high-sugar diets like hummingbirds, bats, bees, and my two daughters. Ecophysiology, ecotoxicology, science communication.
Had a wonderful time at the North American Society for Bat Research meeting. So proud of the work done by my students Jerrica Jamison and Dr. Phil Oelbaum (now at York U). Here's a pic of Jerrica. Didn't get one of Phil at his talk because I was busy chairing session! @utscbiology.bsky.social

My youngest drew this "Dad Chart" for me. I believe the y axis is pretty self-explanatory. It is a dad's rating. And the x axis in the normalized amount of child love a dad receives. This one shows how the two values correlate for me, I guess!
In any event, it might be my favorite chart ever.

My #DeskDetritus includes a couple of hummingbird nests I've found (on the ground).
Label is for the undergrad students that kept asking if it was marijuana.
