Up next in My Research in 30... err, 90 Seconds: Associate Professor @brantfaircloth, talks about bird feathers and gives a tour of his lab, showing off some fancy equipment. FYI, when you tell the intern "don’t add that," you just know it’s definitely going in! @LSUResearch

It was a day filled with bonding, learning, and unforgettable views of Louisiana's nature 🐊🌿🌻#Postbacc #NSF #LSU #RaMP
The @evo_lagniappe postbacc crew had a perfectly Louisiana day retreat: zydeco breakfast + dancing, hike on a Nature Conservancy trail full of herps and birds, and a swamp boat tour. Laissez les bin temps rouler! #RaMP #NSFfunded
