The Auroras last night were absolutely amazing! At one point they were so bright it looked like a full harvest moon was out. I am so grateful I got the chance to see them. #aurora #northernlightsphotos #nature #space

Yesterday Dr. Jane Goodall passed away at 91. I have been reflecting on how much she has ment to me throughout my life, what I wanted to say in memory. She is one of my earliest & biggest influences on the career path I am on today, a biologist focusing on animal behavior and behavioral evolution.

Fantastic time at #SICB2025!
I presented my new research on house sparrows & won the DEE Huey Best Student Poster Presentation award! (What an honor)
I had a great time catching up with old friends, making new friends, & hanging out with my fellow Heidinger Lab members.
