Anyone have videos of them collecting data on vertebrates? I'm teaching a Vertebrate Biology Lab remotely, and I would love to post some videos for my students that show off different vertebrates and how to collect morphometric data. Please forward to anyone that may help :)

My wife is an awesome field biologist. And now as a pregnant field biologist she’s wondering if anyone can recommend field clothes that worked for others while pregnant and conducting field work? Let us know!!!!! (Bonus points for fire retardant)!!

So much great advice from everyone! My wife and I are so thankful for all the tweets.
