I recently asked my research group for collective feedback, after seeing this blog post. I was a bit nervous about it! But it was really good and helpful. I gave them a starter set of questions. They met without me & then shared their collective thoughts. (1/3) colinraffel.com/blog/getting...

🌟 Hi everyone, excited to join the BlueSky community! I am a wildlife biologist interested in the little things that run the world (in this case, macroparasites, viruses, microbes). I am currently working on my PhD at the University of Calgary to investigate the gut microbiome of bighorn sheep 🐏
