And that’s a wrap for my 2023 Field Season! I am beyond grateful for the (sometimes wild) experiences I’ve had these past three weeks while sampling blood from 60 Morelet’s crocodiles across Belize with the amazing @CrocResCoal, the FCD, and the Belize Forest Department! 🐊🩸

I’m happy to share that our study quantifying heavy metals in bird feathers from protected areas in the Amazon was published this week! This study brought together a great group of researchers (and feathers!) to describe exposure near oil and gold mining. setac.onlinelibrary.wiley.co…

Special thanks to my co-authors who were incredibly supportive while I navigated the field of analytical toxicology! We hope this study may provide insight into a broader landscape of contamination in these areas.

This couldn’t have been possible without the incredible mentorship and sampling help from @doc_tellez @croc_fit @ShawnHeflick and everyone else at the CRC! HUGE shout out to my lab for helping me plan my first solo/leading field trip too! @SCampbellstaton @Princeton 🐊 šŸ…

REU Done āœ… These past 10 weeks have been filled with a lot of learning and growing as a scientist. Working on this project taught me a lot and I’m really proud of my work!

A quick look at our research in Chiquibul Forest with the Morelet’s crocs. We were collecting blood for a graduate student’s thesis

I feel so honored to have been invited to sit in on the Orange walk town council meeting where Jonathan presented his work with the CRC! I look forward to contributing to the study of pollution in New River. šŸŠ 🐊
CRC Biologist Jonathan Triminio met with the Orange Walk Town Council to present the prelim findings of the New River project. While Year 2 of this comes to an end, there is a lot more work to be done, and collaborating with the local Gov’t is key for the success of this project.

Croc sampling in Chiquibul with the one and only @doc_tellez,@ShawnHeflick,@croc_fit, and the awesome researchers from the Belize Forest Dep. was a fun and crazy adventure I’ll never forget! I’m so grateful to this powerhouse of a team for helping me lead my first field project!

Tonight (7/12) on #HumanFootprintPBS, @SCampbellstaton will turn the cameras on his own research, studying tuskless elephants in Mozambique. Why is this happening and is it driven by human activity? Tune in to @PBS at 9/8c. Read up on the research: bit.ly/3JWenSW

July 5 is commonly the worst air-quality day of the year in Greater Los Angeles due to all the fireworks. Air quality maps really highlight the environmental/health inequity across the region. (Generally, ocean-adjacent = wealthier and more white residents than city average.)

If you are interested in a PhD concerning thermophysiology or biomechanics, you MUST check out the new lab of @arummel25. So sad to see her go from our lab, but I I can’t wait to keep up with her awesome anole and bat work! šŸ¦Ž šŸ¦‡
It’s time to announce that I will be joining Rice BioSciences as an Assistant Professor this year! I’ll be recruiting PhD students this fall to begin in Rice’s EEB program in fall of 2024 - email me if you’re interested in thermal physiology or biomechanics!

I had a great Earth day describing my research to local 4th-10th graders at #princetonspringintoscience I am also very proud of my crocodile DNA art 🐊🧬
