An unprecedented violation of our civic and Constitutional traditions. Calling every military leader in the world back to the U.S. to hear a wildly inappropriate partisan campaign speech followed by a fascist call to use the military against Americans.

Hey, that's me. Thank you to @sfn.org and @neuronline.sfn.org for this wonderful opportunity to catch up with Dr. Bailey and discuss my unique undergrad experience. I hope listeners enjoy! 🎙🎧

Join my super cool lab!!

Y'know that study that the DOJ deleted from their website? The one concluding that "the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism"? Here it is. Just read the first paragraph: web.archive.org/web/20250912...

Jeffery Dahmer and I Talk Cooking Recipes

Big fan of Most Bittern.

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

My parents took me out of a country where this was the norm and where it led to the execution and imprisonment of millions of innocent people. They brought me here, to America, believing that it would not happen here. And yet here we are.

I was fortunate enough to be given the chance to discuss my undergraduate experience (from research to co-teaching) with my wonderful mentor Dr. Kira Bailey on the @neuronline.sfn.org Think Alike? Podcast! Give it a listen! 🎙🧠🎧 neuronline.sfn.org/professional...

This is stupid for a number of reasons, but could someone please tell of a time when science has ever been apolitical?

As I said, @ardenthistorian.bsky.social and I had some thoughts on the DHS post. Thank you @religiondispatches.org, wish this weren't the worst timeline. religiondispatches.org/latest-ice-r...

When Michael Jordan felt boxed in by his success in basketball he tried baseball. When Gary Brooks became synonymous with country he created Chris Gaines. And when JK Rowling created the most successful kids books of all time she reinvented herself as a petty, weirdo transphobia influencer.

1. This week, the FBI released its comprehensive crime report for 2024, which revealed that both VIOLENT CRIME and PROPERTY CRIME reached their LOWEST LEVELS SINCE THE 1960s This a massive story. But you might not have heard about it, even if you follow the news closely. Here's why.

I'm just a big fan of this reaction image.

‘Seek Funding’ Step Added To Scientific Method

This is an executive order that lays the groundwork for sending homeless people and people with mental illness to concentration camps to be "civilly committed." It was never going to stop with immigrants. This is horrifying beyond words. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

I was today years old when I learned about bird nest fungi!! 🪹🍄 And I’m literally a scientist who studies bird nests... MIND IS BLOWN 🤯

You might have heard that psychology has a WEIRD problem. Though it aims to understand human minds, many of its studies have historically been skewed towards WEIRD minds. In this 🚨NEW PAPER🚨, @kristinandrews.bsky.social and I argue that comparative cognition also has a WEIRD problem. 👇🧵 1/17

I like to spend my free time volunteering in my community. Recently, I’ve been teaching this young Mourning Dove to read. I’m no hero. Just trying to give back. 🙏

it’s probably delusional to keep pursing this career but like… I like birds… damn

Did you ask for a bird fact? No, but you're getting one whether you like it or not. 🪶

Hey! I made a blog post for #WingBeat about the nest building preferences of female wrens; my first experience in the world of science. I would love if would check it out! 🪺🪶🐦

At OWU, students nominate professors to give 3-minute, "i^3 lectures" that mimic TED talks. I was honored to present a few weeks ago, and discussed animal culture and evolution. Have 3 minutes? Check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=33qK...

My sabbatical this semester is focused on finishing projects that have languished. This study was completed in 2017! We tested how different interactions with humans affect CORT levels in budgerigars, including whether stress transmits socially between neighbors - www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Real birds sitting on their plastic twins 👯‍♀️ Meet artist Bart Eysink Smeets, who created this amazing series. He placed the plastic birds outside and patiently waited until a real one of the same kind landed on top. And let’s be honest—our real bird friends are unbeatable. 🐦✨ #birds
