- Honored to be elected a @aaas fellow!! I’m in good company: Katalin Kariko, @hopihoekstra and Katy Heath!
- The limits of egg recognition: testing acceptance thresholds of American robins in response to decreasingly egg-shaped objects in the nest | now published in Royal Society Open Science with @skwinnicki @IanRHays J Hoover, D Hanley.
- Life update: I'm moving back to NYC! Find me in the fall 2023 in the director's office at asrc.gc.cuny.edu
- Can we please change the cowbird's name to bisonbird, since they evolved in the Americas before cows ever were brought to the continent(s). Discuss (kindly, please).
