Glad to start this academic year as the new Biology Graduate Director at Northern Michigan University! We had great kickoff in this new year with all new Graduate Assistants. Looking forward to start new endeavors in leading this Graduate cohort with great support from colleagues at Biology & NMU 🤩🥳

How to make big decisions

Science on Tap at Blackrocks Brewery will resume in October with a full schedule of scientific talks for the 2025-2026 academic year. Check on the poster below and stay tuned for further development of the "fun" scientific events!!

The International Hibernation Society starts to release quaterly Seasonal Highlights on the Topic "Torpor & Hibernation as Seasonal Adaptative Strategies". Here are the first Hibernation Highlights for the Summer 2025. Enjoy reading the latest research from the Torpor & Hibernation field!

Some truly amazing news: I've been appointed full Professor of Energy & Climate Policy at @ox.ac.uk. Honestly have to pinch myself. It's been a non-traditional path to academia, and it feels like things have come full circle from starting an enviro group as a kid in the late 1980s.

Had such a great time at Colonge #2025ISMPMI See you all next time! 🤗🤗

@inthibsoc.bsky.social check out the newest paper from our lab. Hibernators are incredible! doi.org/10.1242/jeb....

3,000 people turned out today in Marquette! This is for a small city where the temp hovered around freezing with the wind whipping off Lake Superior. We put on our coats, hats, and snow pants and got out there.
