First day of grad school ➡️ first day as Professor Moyer! It feels pretty amazing to achieve a dream more than 10 years in the making. 🥳

My last chapter from my Ph.D. is out! Click the link to read about male and female song in the understudied Puerto Rican Oriole. Thanks to @BirdsCaribbean, @SMBC, @NSF, and @UMBCGSA for funding support. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/shar…

My undergrad TAs wrote and presented their own lectures for Animal Behavior today! Pretty awesome way to wrap up the semester.

My classes are watching David Attenborough today, no way anyone is in a head space to focus on a lecture.

When the conference is in your home state, you take the earliest flight you can to squeeze in a little more family time! Good thing birders are used to waking up early…😴 #AOS24

My students and I had a great time talking with Dan about his work today!
Today it was such a pleasure to join Dr. Michelle Moyer's Bird Song class at William & Mary. Thank you for leading a great discussion @ornithmmoyer... I wish I could take your class!

Only at bird conferences do you have workshops ending at 10 pm and field trips starting at 5:30 am 😂

I keep seeing interesting PhD positions and going “ooh maybe I should apply” before I realize that I am not the target audience for those anymore 😂 I just want to learn new things!

I am PhDONE! I’m so deeply moved and honored by the way my community showed up for me yesterday to celebrate this hard-earned milestone. I’ve looked forward to becoming Dr. Moyer for a long time and I would not be here without the support from you all! Cheers to the next chapter!
