We thank ⁦⁦@UTEP⁩ centennial museum for our exhibit “A Waddle Through Time” up, engaging all local people on waterfowl conservation! Still up online to check out utep.edu/centennial-mus… Don’t forget to take part of waterfowl conservation at duckDNA.com !

⁦@LavretskyLab⁩ is looking for graduate students interested in wildlife connection and genetics! ⁦@UTEP⁩ ⁦@utepbc⁩

yesterday the @LavretskyLab field crew began baiting trap sites as the start of our effort to revive and restore the Koloa duck on Oahu! This research will be implementing management actions using the simRestore modeling framework to preserve the species' genetics into the future

⁦@LavretskyLab⁩ thanks ⁦@MSBbirds⁩ for letting ⁦@laurmcfar⁩ to scan and study their #mallards! Specimens like this bird collected by Aldo Leopoldo in 1918 are our time machines!

Had a blast ⁦@MOGameKeepers⁩ on this podcast! Talking waterfowl genetics and conservation! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gam…

Huge congrats to Dr. ⁦@FlorHernandez_C⁩ for successfully defending your dissertation!!
