Today! 4:45! Come scrounge some information!

Great #ABS2024 meeting! Ben Sonnenberg (he/him) Virginia Heinen @LM_Benedict

A couple lil guys I made thanks to Liz Clayton Fuller' paint-along streams! #wepaintbirbs

What can we learn about #ClimateChange from some of the Sierra Nevada's tiniest avian residents? Check out Ben Sonnenberg (he/him)'s new story, "The Chickadee in the snowbank: A canary in the coal mine for climate change in the Sierra Nevada Mountains": hitchcockproject.org/the-chickadee-…

Do you know of any students interested in an #NSFfunded, 2 (or more) yrs Postbac research experience investigating the @neuroethology of auditory perception in the acoustic parasitoid fly #Ormiaochracea? More info here: animalbehaviorsociety.org/web/news.php?v… Please RT!

How long is it gonna take to finish that paper? Me:

Amazing new study from Dmitry Aronov's lab!

New in @sciencemagazine, we show that spatial cognitive ability is associated with longevity in food-caching Mountain Chickadees. And Vladimir Pravosudov’s photo was selected for the cover! #ScienceResearch. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 1/n

New paper in Science with Joseph Welklin as a lead and with Ben Sonnenberg (he/him) Carrie Branch @LM_Benedict @lewbells23 Virginia Heinen Angela Pitera and Eli Bridge. Chickadees with better spatial learning and memory abilities live longer lives. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Radar rendering of the #DavisFire's plume spreading over Reno on 09/07. Perhaps you had ash falling in your yard? on your car? If so, send us photos of ash particles, a size reference (e.g., coin), a time, and a location. See example from Desert Research Institute's Tim Brown. College of Science at the Uni. of Nevada, Reno
