Thanks Erin!
#SICB2020 talk from @MWButler2 on interactions btwn short term stress and lipid oxidation: as CORT increases as consequence of stress, fatty acid triglycerides drop. I've been chewing on relationships between leptin and CORT lately, so I was thrilled to see this one.

@MWButler2: Even low-dose immune challenges increase oxidative damage in quail #EOU2019 #ornithology
Nice talk of @MWButler2 on the strength of the immune response in birds. Different physiological markers show different responses after an immune challenge @EOU2019Cluj
5 speakers from 5 countries on 3 continents ... Thanks to @MWButler2 @GaryBurness @CoralineBcht @ChimaobimNwaogu & Gábor Czirják & all attendees for making our @EOU2019Cluj symposium “Immune function as a mediator of trade-offs” a big success 💯 @EOUnion #EOU2019 #ornithology
Want nightmares? Take a look at these aggregations (tan blobs) of nest mites from a swallow nest... Thousands upon thousands of parasitic mites... 😳😱🤯🤮 @MWButler2 @uconneeb @LafCol #uconneeb @UConnResearch
GREAT FUN w/ @MWButler2 & @LafCol UGs Emma & Julianna! Super cool work happening in the lab & I’m excited for future collabs! 🎉😎 Their crew collected this pot-o-gold of nests for the #NestParasiteStudy. Are you a box-nesting bird landlord? Want to send me your nests? DM me!!
Great example of @LafCol undergraduates doing some great science!

AOS is doing great work bringing the ornithology community together and making sure all feel welcome. thanks @AmOrnith for the shout out here!
There's a new “Faces of AOS” (#AOSBios) profile posted today! It's for @joannaxwu, member of the Diversity & Inclusion Committee. Check it out! #ornithology amornithnews.org/2018/04/20/fac…

The Nature Necessity
By Katie Neitz There is a way to boost creativity, reduce stress, and enhance your overall health and well-being. It might sound like a too-good-to-be-true miracle drug. But it’s not. It’s as simple...
The 2018 AOS Early Professional Winners - @CovinoKristen & @Dr_Scott_Taylor will be giving a plenary talk at #AOS18AZ on April 13. Congrats again Kristen & Scott on your #ornithology awards! For more info on the plenaries check out the meeting webpage: amornithmeeting2018.org/plenary-speake…
I'll be there, and would love to chat about physiological ecology and house sparrows! Please e-mail me to coordinate. Cheers!
Hey followers! Who else is going to #AOS18AZ ? Team @HeidingSparrow will be there and we'd love to chat about research and do some birding with you! #birdnerd #Arizona #research
Check out the latest from Rebecca Koch and @Geoffrey_E_Hill. nature.com/articles/s4146…
Crowd size frequently rivals (or exceeds!) plenary attendance. It's a great way to promote your science and yourself!
This is a great opportunity for all early professionals to present to an enthusiastic audience. These talks are always extremely well-attended! #ornithology #AOS18AZ
Great work by @LafCol thesis student Melissa Homsher - congrats on the publication! link.springer.com/article/10.100…
Today falls into the category of "a good day." And because tone doesn't always translate from text alone, I'm explicitly ecstatic (!!!!!) about being a tenured member of the @LafCol faculty. 😃
Nice #undergraduate work @LafCol, thanks in part to funding from @HHMINEWS. It's fun doing science with #shiny feathers!

If my graduate tuition waiver had been taxed I would not have been able to afford to get my degree. I would not have the job I have today and would not be doing any of the work I am now. RT if the same is true for you.
