1/2: Aren’t these #birdsofparadise fantastic? In celebration of my PhD proposal defense this week, I wanted to share a beat I made with sounds and video captured by my colleagues in the Birds Of Paradise Project at @CornellBirds.

Thank you for sharing, @NatGeoEducation
Scientist @benmirin created BeastBox, a combination of his lifelong passions for nature & music! This is your learner’s chance to mix fun beats with the voices of wild animals in the ecosystem. Spark their curiosity with music! on.natgeo.org/6016HH9cu #ExplorerMindset

Thank you to the incredible crew at @swissbeatbox for making this event possible and inspiring beatboxers near and far (like me). Congratulations to all the champions.
It was an hectic yet epic journey this weekend past! Thank you to all of you for your support & tuning into the livestreams. 🙏

I AM BLOWN AWAY @swissbeatbox. So proud of the whole #beatbox family. I wish I could be there but am completing my PhD qualifying exams. This is the best study break ever.

This is a beautiful project that redefines how we generate science to make the process more inclusive. Without inclusivity, we lose ideas that can help save the world: "Co-Creating Equitable STEM Research Led by Communities" videohall.com/p/2264 #STEMvideohall @CornellBirds

Hi @JLowenWildlife, I read your recent blog and was wondering if you could point me toward the new list of priority species from the Asian Songbirds Trade Specialist Group? I'm writing a paper for my PhD and can only seem to find the 2015 list. Thx! birdlife.org/worldwide/news/…

Some of you may recognize this beat from my last show with @listenforwhales, if you’d like to see it live with one of the scientists from the BoP project (Dr. Ed Scholes) as well as other great bioacousticians, you can watch it for free here: academy.allaboutbirds.org/li…
