I'm on the market for a #postdoc position! If you or someone you know is looking for someone keen on behavioral #ecology, signal evolution (songs, colors, etc), and endocrinology, please let me know! Also quite keen on teaching, as an added bonus!

Today is my final lecture for my first full fledged ecology course. Bittersweet - I knew I liked teaching when I was graduate student, but this semester really cemented that

Update - It's submitted! I can finally feel the relief that I wanted to have last night. Better late than never.
Replying to @JonesJA91
- Depression sets in. I've emailed the fine folk on the program officer team for the PRFB, but that was at 4:45 PM so I'm trying to be patient. Unfortunate - all my application material is timed stamped as submitted pre 5PM my local time. So... fingers crossed.

Big news! We received NSF funding and we're now looking for a PhD student to help us study the ecogeography of social behavior in fairywrens. The student will be co-advised by Dai Shizuka and Allison Johnson. Details here: fairywrenproject.org/2023/10…

Finding a bird laying on the ground next to building entirely surrounded by clear windows is heart wrenching. On a university campus with students walking within inches of ending the poor thing no less. How is it 2023 and we have not systematically addressed this issue?
