Excited to finally have this research out in the world! Thanks for the great write-up @Flickanator101 @EvolutionVU
New this week! Female birds sing — and new research from @CreanzaLab reveals WHY. Drs. Kate Snyder & Nicole Creanza studied 1,000 songbird species and found cooperative breeding and female song coevolve, reshaping how we understand birdsong #evolution. 🎶 wp.me/pbblkY-116

With #H5N1 #birdflu spreading amongst dairy cows, one of the most important things to think about right now is what would need to happen for this virus to actually start a pandemic. I'm on a train, so a brief thread...

Excited to share a publicly accessible link to new work with @pichkary and @AbigailSearfoss -- detecting cultural evolution in songbirds (chipping sparrows!) using community science data and computational modeling authors.elsevier.com/a/1icLx…

TL;DR EL5 on Pulsar Timing Arrays: Remember when the first telescope got made and then we spent four hundred years continuously upgrading both the telescopes and our understanding of the universe? Well, that's happening again. We have a whole new universe detector.

The news is out! The @NANOGrav pulsar timing array collaboration has detected a background of cosmic gravitational waves rippling through our Universe! Let’s talk about it! (Full press conference tomorrow, nanograv.org/news/2023Announ…) 1/n

Big congratulations to newly minted Dr. Kerri-Ann Anderson, who successfully defended her PhD and has a new paper out modeling the interactions between vaccine hesitancy and vaccination behaviors! sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Young bees need to watch. A recent Science study showed that the distinctive waggle dance honey bees use to send nestmates to the location of a food source is in part learned by young bees as they observe more experienced bees. scim.ag/33J #NationalPollinatorsMonth

Shout out to my MVP(artner) @nickrp for being so on-board, open-minded, patient, willing to give up his phone for the benefit of the car since he was the only one with strong enough signal to stream the show… I’m so grateful and in love 🥰

This is a truly fascinating case and ongoing mystery.
Ohio cryptic lineage update. We’ve made no progress identifying the individual, but we have learned a few things. 1/
