t’s not easy to be a (present) mum and an (effective) academic, but we can manage both if we have supportive teams, welcome flexibility, and lead with kindness. In @NatureHumBehav about my experience with this balancing act 🤹🏻♀️.

I’ve finally made the jump to the other platform 💙sky. Follow me there @birdmapper.bsky.social. It’s so sad to see how they’ve ruined what we once had here on Twitter 😢.

Back to the field to study the birds of my homeland, the Llanos. We are putting transmitters on Black Skimmers and looking for avian influenza in all water birds. My happy place! 💙🪶

Check out our new paper and its associated press release, an amazing team led by friend and colleague @OrnithoAle 🙌🏽.
While Colombia is protecting biodiversity and cultural diversity, both remain mostly inaccessible to tourists. @ESPM_Berkeley professor @OrnithoAle and colleagues offer a new framework for sustainable ecotourism planning in Colombia and beyond.

This is going to the top of my reading list! So important to amplify voices of those that have been marginalized 🙌🏽. Thank you for this paper 👏🏽 ! And let’s continue diversifying #conservation one voice at a time 🙌🏽🌈🌍.
Despite the shape that the world is taking, I'm so excited and proud to see this work published and these voices amplified. Please read and share! @Society4ConBio @ConBiology.

Check out the latest by Conservation Ecology postdoc @MHCNeateClegg and @samuel_ei_jones (plus many others!). Great methods to apply to other datasets 🙌🏽.
🚨New stuff in @Amornith! We use Bayesian multi-species mark-recapture (CMR) models to assess avian demographic rates across an elevational gradient in Honduras! @samuel_ei_jones, @jfsaracco & Fabiola Rodríguez-Vásquez 🧵(1/7)

It’s a rough day to be a mother, an educator, an immigrant, a scientist, a humane person. I’m sure we will recover and keep going… but haven’t found the energy yet.
