We were awarded federal funding through IMLS to rehouse 10,500 songbird egg clutches from our collection — a project critical for long-term preservation. As with many other organizations, that funding was canceled this week. https://t.co/vGDT0UKnII

Have you seen our Hydroponics in Action display recently? Thanks to @corteva, our guests can learn how we grow plants using nutrient-rich water instead of soil. See the display in the Field Station of our Regional Journey Gallery! 💦 #hydroponics #agriscience

Our own @MatthewHalley is helping break down an important part of evolutionary history! Read about his latest work.
Excited our (@MatthewHalley & Stacy Pirro) 237 species hawk phylogeny is out. With a mix of Whole Genome Sequencing and legacy data we split Accipiter into several genera and determine the placement of several weird hawks (I also drew a ton of birds!) https://t.co/40qqDyqJOR
