I really look forward to our monthly #JOHNsond tri-lab meetings at FLORIDA when our lab in Agronomy at UF gets to join the labs of Grace John in UF Department of Biology and @danbigtreeman in UF School Forest, Fisheries, & Geomatics Sciences. Great times had today discussing pressing questions in ecology and how to address them!

For the first time in my career, I went to sea as Chief Scientist. We were aboard the FIO R/V Hogarth with a wonderful crew, sampling the Gulf of Mexico. Thanks to Florida Institute of Oceanography (FIO) for the amazing training opportunity for UF Department of Biology students! And thanks to Bradley Tolar (he/him) for joining us!

Congratulations to UF Department of Biology grad student @EricMTrotman who received the Animal Behavior Society Justice Equity Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI) Student Research Award: "Inducible defenses and carry-over tradeoffs in amphibians: Conflicting effects of predators and parasites on behavior"

On yesterday’s panel a noticed a key theme: supportive advisors. Also supportive committees. Institutions need to change! Let’s not forget that. BUT, I am so grateful to have had an advisor that would have stood up for me, no matter what. @josemiponciano thank you

I volunteered at Alachua Schools Littlewood Elementary over the past month to teach students about sea turtles once a week. We touched 3D printed skulls, identified species with a dichotomous key, talked about life span, and evaluated threats to sea turtles.
