We analyzed two separate datasets (library.leeds.ac.uk/special-… and peopleofthebritishisles.org/)–both sampled people with multigenerational ties to rural+agricultural locations, so our data are linked to 19th century England, not to more recent movement and mixing

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…

I was on leave for a few months, and I took a Twitter leave as well -- luckily I was able to keep up with the bird literature 😅🐦

Congratulations, Dr. Searfoss!! 🐦🎉🐦 So proud of Abigail, who successfully defended her dissertation "Harnessing the power of citizen-science data to study the spatiotemporal patterns of birdsong"! @AbigailSearfoss

Huge congratulations to @KateTSnyder for being honored with a Rosemary Grant award for graduate research excellence from @sse_evolution!!!!! 😍🐦#proudpi evolutionsociety.org/news/di…

For more on this study, see our piece in @ConversationUK: "Complex birdsongs help biologists piece together the evolution of lifelong learning" and our eLife digest (with Cristina's artwork)! theconversation.com/complex-… elifesciences.org/digests/44… @eLifeCommunity

So bittersweet to have Cristina and two wonderful undergrads, Kara and Alex, fledge the Creanza Lab nest today. I can't wait to see what they do next, but I wasn't quiiiite ready for them all to leave! 🐣🐦

So proud of Cristina, who defended her thesis beautifully yesterday! We put her amazing bird artwork on cupcakes, temporary tattoos, and birdfetti™. Congratulations, Dr. Robinson!!

Living dangerously through theoretical models in biology! "Our model was wrong, and that was a win!" Great talk by @DePaceLab at @Winter_QBio #wqbio2019
