I am honored to accept the 2016 Student Research award from the University of Maryland BEES graduate program. This award was voted on by my peers, and makes winning all the sweeter! This award recognizes "outstanding research achievements in the field of behavior, ecology, evolution and/or systematics, and for contributing to the academic excellence of the program."

It can take hours to boil down your research into a 6-minute presentation suitable for both members of the public visiting the museum for the day, and curators that have worked there for more than 10 years. I was happy to do it for the 12th round of the Senate of Scientist Lightning Talks at the National Museum of Natural History on April 8th. Recordings of the presentations will be available on iTunesU 6 Minute Science Collection.  I was very excited to be a part of this year's Museum Day Live! at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. This year's events focused on women in the sciences, and events took place in museums across the country. I had a table set up in the Q?rius exhibition that featured coloring sheets for the little ones, bird skins from our collections, and an interactive phylogenetics exercise.
