Check out the fat reserves in this ruby throated hummingbird! #oVertTCN #diceCT scan revealed large pockets of fat storage all along this teeny body. Fueled by nectar, these birds can double their body fat before migrating, & then lose most of it migrating 100s of miles.

There are lots of program updates rolling out in the coming days. But, how about one more small glimpse of what SICB 2024 meeting attendees can expect to experience within a few steps of the meeting venue. See you all in January!
