Happy International Day of #WomeninScience!
Fantastic women scientist are working in the my research group @hkilabornithology.bsky.social @nathist.bsky.social @helsinki.fi!
Please have a look at what kind of research topics they have:

A thing I've been working on is out now: I wrote the cover story for the summer issue of Living Bird! Scientists have sequenced the genomes of almost all 25 (!) song sparrow subspecies AND connected their genes to how they're each likely to fare under climate change.
Bird migration is changing. What does this reveal about our planet? – visualised
Happy #womenInscience day! I study how birds use multiple strategies to respond to climate change @helsinki.fi @nathist.bsky.social
I'm grateful to have a ton of great women scientists around for me to learn from and look up to as I do my PhD!

New paper out now at @consbiog.bsky.social !
eBird data reveals that nonbreeding conditions can affect prothonotary warbler spring arrival timing at broad scales, and spatial patterns suggest that eastern populations are more vulnerable to climate change

It's so exciting to see the places I've been visiting since January fill with birdsong
This ordinary-seeming songbird species is teeming with subtle genetic diversity, which allows local populations to respond in various ways to a changing world.

An absolute stunner of an Archaeopteryx fossil preserves SO MUCH soft tissue, including scales on its toe pads and a group of flight feathers never seen before in Archaeopteryx. Known as tertials, they lie between the elbow and the body, and play a key role in powered flight for modern birds 🧪
Bird migrations rank as one of nature’s greatest spectacles. Thanks to GPS tracking, scientists are uncovering extraordinary insights into ancient and mysterious journeys – and new threats that are reshaping them.
I'm delighted to be able to share my latest artwork for the @songbirding.com podcast and audiobook series! Singing female American Redstart, because female birds definitely do sing and we're finally starting to pay attention. 🎨🪶 #SciArt #BirdArt 🧪

“A new review of 50 recent studies finds that protests tend to sway media coverage and public opinion toward the climate cause, without appearing to backfire, even when disruptive tactics are used”.

Scientists were finally given access to a remarkable Archaeopteryx fossil that’s allowed them to better understand exactly how the earliest known bird could fly.
We are pleased to announce the publication of a new article, “The impacts of climate activism” in the journal Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences. In this article, the research team reviews and syn...

What do climate protests actually achieve? More than you think.
The evidence is in: Protests can persuade people, and maybe even change how they vote.

The evidence is in: Protests can persuade people, and maybe even change how they vote, according to recent studies.
