    A fair share of students have cried in front of me, but I think this is the first time a student has made my eyes well up. Thank you , it was an honor to learn w you.

    week fact (they deserve more than a day). Owls fly silently due to fringes on their feathers, this allows for “scattering” of sound so prey don’t hear them coming

    My office hours get no love so I started going to the student center to grade and answer emails. Conversations with students in the student center flow differently than ones in my office. We should dismantle the idea that some spaces are for students & others faculty.

    Last week travelled to WLT sanctuary Dimmocks Retreat Wildlife which is caring for an influx of bushfire victims along with their usual patients. Orphaned wombats Sampson and Monty have been through a lot but now they're able to recover together in a safe place!

    most of my science outreach is now either done: A) in the back of a taxi B) on grindr

    A coyote and a badger use a culvert as a wildlife crossing to pass under a busy California highway together. Coyotes and badgers are known to hunt together. 🎥Peninsula Open Space Trust

    A little late on # SuperbOwl day. Owls won't scavenge dead animals,they like to hunt for live prey themselves. This is an interesting habit for a predatory bird to have.

    Super proud of our tree! I personally think the font looks WONDERFUL now I have a better understanding of how potato heads evolved 🥔👀

    In this week’s lab, we learnt about . We learnt about cladograms, constructed phylogenic trees by comparing traits of plants. It took me a lot of time to understand the concept, but I finally got it!

    For lab we learned how to make cladograms and how to correctly create a tree from it by comparing 2 traits and what organism fit those 2 traits.

    What I learned from last week was how phylogenetic trees work and used plants to see how two different plants are in the same monophyletic clade, like lilium and Arabidopsis with making flowers.

    This week we explored the methods on visualizing evolutionary relationships using phylogeny trees! We examined specimens like this lily to construct our own phylogeny trees

    phylogenetic tree- diagram that shows the evolutionary relationships b/w species principle of parsimony (aka Occam's Razor)- "cheap" helices are far more interesting than boxes. moving on to molecular phylogeny, bioinformatics & algorithms

    Arabidopsis was originally adopted as a model organism because it’s useful for genetic experiment , has a small size that limits the requirement for growth facilities and prolific seed production through self pollination.

    I always wondered if owls had nests or they slept on trees. Turns out they can camouflage and sleep easily on trees. Here’s the article if anyone is interested in many for facts.

    This past week in biology, we learned how to make phylogenetic trees, which shows how different types of species are related to each other. I found this topic very interesting as I have heard of phylogenetic trees before.

    In lab we worked on trees of plants. Venn diagrams aren't fun, but they help make the tree! It's interesting to see what plants may be related based on traits being studied. Our tree suggests lilies, Thale Cress and ZZ plants are related
