Excited to finally have this research out in the world! Thanks for the great write-up @Flickanator101 @EvolutionVU

New this week! Female birds sing — and new research from @CreanzaLab reveals WHY. Drs. Kate Snyder & Nicole Creanza studied 1,000+ songbird species and found cooperative breeding and female song coevolve, reshaping how we understand birdsong #evolution. 🎶 wp.me/pbblkY-116

With #H5N1 #birdflu spreading amongst dairy cows, one of the most important things to think about right now is what would need to happen for this virus to actually start a pandemic. I'm on a train, so a brief thread...

TL;DR EL5 on Pulsar Timing Arrays: Remember when the first telescope got made and then we spent four hundred years continuously upgrading both the telescopes and our understanding of the universe? Well, that's happening again. We have a whole new universe detector.

The news is out! The @NANOGrav pulsar timing array collaboration has detected a background of cosmic gravitational waves rippling through our Universe! Let’s talk about it! (Full press conference tomorrow, nanograv.org/news/2023Announ…) 1/n

Big congratulations to newly minted Dr. Kerri-Ann Anderson, who successfully defended her PhD and has a new paper out modeling the interactions between vaccine hesitancy and vaccination behaviors! sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Young bees need to watch. A recent Science study showed that the distinctive waggle dance honey bees use to send nestmates to the location of a food source is in part learned by young bees as they observe more experienced bees. scim.ag/33J #NationalPollinatorsMonth

Great to be able to give him this experience, brief as it was. – at Burgettstown, PA
Selfie of three people in a large audience at nighttime. On the left is an attractive 30-something man with brown hair smiling and wearing a blue sweatshirt with cats and flowers on it. I, a 30-something femme person with long blonde hair am in the middle leaning towards the third person, an old man with a short white beard bending forwards slightly and smiling looking at the camera.

Shout out to my MVP(artner) @nickrp for being so on-board, open-minded, patient, willing to give up his phone for the benefit of the car since he was the only one with strong enough signal to stream the show… I’m so grateful and in love 🥰 – at Burgettstown, PA
Selfie of Nick and me with my dad in the background at the concert in the audience. Our skin is glowing slightly pink from the stage lights. Nick’s chin is on my shoulder and my eyes are closed. We are both smiling slightly while my dad looks forward at the out-of-image stage.
