I'm so relieved to see that the science writing community has come out in force to support @thexylom.com in its hour of need. I'm proud to be part of a community that values the vital work that @alexip718.com & colleagues are doing. Nonprofit public service journalism is HARD & so very necessary.

The porphyrins in Northern Saw-whet Owl feathers glow under UV light. They degrade over time, so older feathers glow less intensely than new feathers. This bird has a clear molt limit between old juvenile feathers and new basic feathers, meaning she was born last summer!

It’s always a pleasure to get to ramble about birds. I had so much fun participating in the Collections up Close series for the KU Natural History Museum with @anoplogaster.bsky.social and Kevin Mulcahey!

New publication with Alice Boyle and @inkliizii.bsky.social is out! This work is the first project I have completed as a scientist, and I am so excited to share! We found experimental support for the idea that nest orientation is, in part, a regulatory mechanism for nest microclimate. 🧵(1/5)
