No one tells you how confusing it is to be a biology student who studies birds and also a fan of New York based indie rock band Geese.

Just to be super clear, if you’re phoning in your peer review to ai you should quit your job so someone else who actually likes science can have it.

If you liked the (excellent) bird migration piece in The Guardian today, I suspect you'll ❤️ spending some time with Audubon's Bird Migration Explorer, which is a full-on interactive data masterpiece:

SHOUT OUT MOFS FOR WINNING THE NOBEL PRIZE IN CHEMISTRY!!! MOFs have been my side hustle (lol) throughout my undergrad and I’m so happy to see them getting recognition. Huge day for MOF enthusiasts

When you see a headline that makes a claim that sounds absolutely bananas & cites some “study”, don’t just believe it because the headline used one science word. Look at the source. Was it even peer reviewed? Where? What are experts in the field saying about it? If it sounds ridiculous it might be.

Also just a reminder for ppl who follow me here from Twitter, I post my science-adjacent things here and save all my sports themed shenanigans for my Twitter! (I’m @zoey_wav there!!)

"The greatest danger to our future is apathy. ... What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make." - Vale Jane Goodall (1934-2025).

Now seems like an appropriate time to say that the Jane Goodall talk I went to three years ago was hands down the best concert I’ve ever been to. What an absolute icon

Polymorphism: my latest Birdword comic for Cornell Lab. www.allaboutbirds.org/news/birdwor...

I did a project on these little guys in grade 6 and have been obsessed with them ever since! So glad that conservation efforts are going well!

Your interesting #ornithology read for today: Acoustic monitoring in Malaysia is showing how bird communities can be a useful indicator of healthy mangrove forests.

In recent Zoey lore, I’ve decided that 22 is the PERFECT age to learn to play hockey. Highly recommend starting a new sport and being absolutely abysmal at it. Most fun I’ve had in months!

Highlight of 2024 was seeing my first black crowned night heron in Montreal of all places and shrieking like I saw a celebrity ✨

I am Sisyphus and WHMIS training is my rock

We humbly interrupt your scroll to bring you the news that Wisdom—the world's oldest known wild bird—is breeding again, age 74. Go on girl. 😍

Little song sparrow almost flew straight into me today. Guess I have to get those bird safe window decals for my glasses 🤧🤧

I think Cornell’s birds of the world database should be open access all the time ✨😘

hey guys here’s Godzilla in Montreal

Finally switching my (semi) serious science posting to here! (Will still be silly) Anyway, put ur cats on leashes if you want to take them outside because it’s 1. Good for birds 2. V cute
