Congratulations to Dr. Emily Abernathy from the Hull lab, who not only filed her dissertation today but also gave an awesome exit seminar on how she used genomics to better understand population structure and adaptation in Swainson's and Galapagos hawks! Yay, Emily!

Certain rat poisons are one of the leading causes of death for CA’s mountain lions. Today, Governor Newsom signed @AsmRichardBloom's #AB1788 to prohibit use of second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides. bit.ly/CAmountainlions

Exhibit of the Day: 19 islands. 10 species of gigantic tortoises. Welcome to the Galápagos Islands! Some Galápagos tortoises weigh >660 lbs, making them the world’s largest living tortoises. Today around 20,000 tortoises live across the Galápagos Islands. #MuseumFromHome🐢

Had a great time at #RRF conference this year. So happy to talk about our new motion-activated cameras and get some information out there about starling abatement methods.
