Are you interested in cute, fluffy mammals? 👀 Me too! Come learn why some bats are fluffier than others at my #SICB2025 oral presentation Monday at 1:45pm in International 5

This was such a fun event! I’m looking forward to seeing this program continue to grow.
We had a great time touring the @hmns Cockrell Butterfly Center yesterday as part of our @RiceNatSci program in science communication and public engagement. Thanks to @Bugsologist and her team for the awesome behind-the-scenes experience! #scicomm

🚨 What do we gain by quantifying ephemeral prey distribution at high temporal resolution? We find out just how tightly predators can fine-tune foraging efforts 🧵

When did humans invent/discover the triangle?
The delta flower scarab did it first! This triangular shape on their pronotum is thought to have evolved via #mimicry to resemble distasteful wasps. #evolution
That’s a wrap! I had so much fun making this video for @girlscouts to learn about STEM career options. #WomenInSTEM

Kicking off another bat monitoring season! Houston is home to many bats —some of which embark on long migrations. Where do they go, and when? How do these small mammals complete such incredible journeys? I want to #TrackTheBats to find out! Join me at BatFest Sept28 to learn more

This is some WILD radar imagery. You can see bats taking off in Texas and then they all get blown east by an outflow boundary. Very satisfying lol

It's the season for bat migration! Discover why and how bats migrate across the world in our latest blog. batcon.org/flight-of-the-nig…
Excited to share that I will be joining the @RiceUniversity Ecology and Evolutionary Biology team this fall to pursue a Ph.D. with a research interest in bat physiology and migration! 🦇
