Late on #SCIB2023 updates, but scrambling to get the semester started. 𝐖𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝟐𝟕% 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐏𝐔𝐈 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬! SICB is a welcoming environment & supports students through the Charlotte Mangum Program.
As the @SICB_SPDAC chair I hosted the new student orientation, which was filled with jokes and ice breaker examples in hopes to lighten the mood of first time students. As an organization SICB is incredibly welcoming to young/new scientists, which is why I keep bringing students.
It's been a busy #SICB2023. Our lab's last talk is today at 8:15 in Brazos. This talk represents our first steps turning the climbing behavior of #parrots into a #Robotic model. @SICB_ @SICB_DCB_DVM @SICB_SPDAC #BirdsOfTwitter #bird #birdnerd @nyit @NYITCOMDO @melodyoungg
Also if you look at the green box on the screen @chubicki is recruiting PhD students to work on this awesome project @SICB_SPDAC! https://twitter.com/chubicki/status/1611539431646691328

Thanks to everyone who came to my talk at #SICB2023 bright and early! Grateful to my lab students and my collaborators, @birdBiomech and @McGowanBiomech, for pushing this ambitious project forward.
