Last push for apps for a postdoc in my group at Penn State (biodiversity & ecoservices). Remote work an option! psu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/PSU_Academic/j…

So excited and grateful to share my first-ever publication in Ecology and Evolution with John McCormack and Devon DeRaad! We used museum specimens and iNaturalist photos to assess the Black- and White-throated Magpie-Jay hybrid zone over time: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… Pic by Johnie Gall

Eleanor gave me my first con bio job, helped me figure out whether to go to grad school, helped me get into grad school, helped me get through grad school, and was a cherished mentor in my current position. She changed my life. She was the best. Eleanor Sterling rdcu.be/c97js

Just read a fantastic review paper on biophysical models and their promise for predicting species responses to climate change. A must read: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

How do birds fly without getting overheated? They slough off lots of heat from their wings - bird wings are longer in warmer climates for >1500 species. Allen's Rule, likely driven by heat dissipation demand. With Joe Tobias Dr. Catherine Sheard and others onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11… U-M SEAS

Happy to share our recent publication in Nature Ecology & Evolution, with Kim Rosvall, Mark Hibbins, Great Lakes Swashbuckler, and many more! nature.com/articles/s4155…
