VERY excited to announce that I successfully defended my Ph.D. last week! Thank you to all of the friends, family, colleagues, and birds that have helped me on this journey!

New paper out in JEZ-A! We continued our investigation of stress and DNA damage in house sparrows and found that (1) damage during chronic stress is not uniform across tissues and (2) that damage during acute stress may be driven by corticosterone doi.org/10.1002/jez....

#SICB2024 @sicbjournals.bsky.social come to poster 69 this afternoon if you are interested in quantifying individual repeatability of the stress response! While you’re there, scan the QR code for our R package (or see the linked post below)

Hey #SICB2024 - I'll be sharing some of my dissertation work in the Comparative Endocrinology of Stress session at on Wednesday at 9am in room 613-614. Come check it out! @sicbjournals.bsky.social

Cool new analysis tool for studying glucocorticoids from an outstanding avian endocrinologist. #seabirds #ornithology

Excited that my first post here is to introduce our new R package, "profrep", for quantifying Profile Repeatability of individuals' stress response curves! Install it directly in your RStudio console using install.packages("profrep") and find more information here ubeattie.github.io/profrep/
