So glad this mammoth is finally out! @donaldmcknight2 and I kicked this off just before COVID which really restricted participation with lockdowns, but excited about all the student authors on this project, some as the first paper they have been on! #NocturnalBasking #Turtles
NEW #PAPER: Our massive international #turtle nocturnal basking survey is available as an early view. A huge thank you to @ericjnordberg for co-leading this with me (couldn't ask for a better collaborator), & thanks to everyone who contributed #turtles sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Delighted that this beast of a manuscript is finally out in the world! I had an absolute blast working on this with @BenardMF. Do science with your friends, y'all, it's the best. mdpi.com/1424-2818/15/2/253

A few salamanders from this week's field work in upstate New York. Can you identify them all, and which is your favorite?

@emporiastate is restructuring so students have “outstanding and supportive professors.” You fired one of the most supportive professors I have ever had. She earned tenure and was let go "for the betterment of the university." #SaveESU @esubulletin kvoe.com/2022/09/19/emporia-…

Fun #CommunityScience quiz I did! You can have fun too, while contributing to #conservation, by adding male/female annotations to @inaturalist records. Thanks for the recommendation at our #CHS_SHC2022 workshop James Pagé!

YAY!!! 🥳🎈🎉
THE STRIKE IS OVER! We have a tentative agreement. All Faculty will return to work duties tomorrow Monday, September 12. We could not have done this without all of the support from our Students, the Community, and the Union organizations. #unionstrong #truemu #educationfirst
