I’m thrilled to see the science community growing and thriving here! My intro: I’m an Integrative Biology Prof and Mammal Curator who studies the phenotypic evolution, ecomorphology, biomechanics and behavioral ecology of mammals, particularly #bats 🦇, to understand their diversification 🧪

Plus, we had a great visit to the @houstonzoo to learn about the conservation initiatives 👇🏼
**Thanks to the @GlobalBatNet PIs and steering committee for planning such a great meeting, I’m looking forward to continuing this work in the years ahead!

Time flies when you’re having a fun and productive time with colleagues!! Day 2 and 3 of the @GlobalBatNet meeting have been an incredible opportunity to further connect with colleagues and brainstorm new vision and actionable projects for our #bat networks and research areas.

Day 1 of the @GlobalBatNet meeting is a wrap! Super excited to learn more about the progress made across networks and so many exciting working groups. The future of integrative bat research is bright! 🤩🦇

Excited to have our REU students from Puerto Rico at the @burkemuseum today! At our lab, they will be learning morphometric methods to investigate the evolution of molar diversity in bats and rodents (@NSF project with @Sears_Lab, @aigverte, Dave Grossnickle & @d_villalobos_c)
