Reporting observations and data is good. Not every study needs to include every experiment that could conceivably be done. Not every paper needs to advance some existing theory.

Great sales pitch from Tyler Stevenson @Stevenson_Lab on incorporating #transcriptomics into your #endocrinology research. Phenomenal drop in #sequencing costs over last decade #ISAE2022

After a day of insightful talks from senior researchers and ECRs alike, #ISAE2022 finished strongly with presentations on new and developing techniques for research in avian endocrinology, like Oxford nanopore sequencing and machine learning. Great stuff! @KAS_Spencer @ISAE2020

Social information can help birds physiologically prepare for food limitations- look out for the surprising physiological changes discovered by the Cornelius lab! #ISAE2022
