Over 1 billion birds collide with buildings each year, but new research from Fordham Ph.D. student Ar Kornreich shows the real toll is even higher. Read more about it here cbsn.ws/3YDeF9l #FordhamResearch #BirdConservation #WildlifeProtection

@acer_aceae Congratulations!!

Got a my new head shots back just in time to announce that I'm starting a lab at North Carolina State University in January! I'll be a genetics professor in the Weed Science program, with research centered on evolutionary genomics in weeds and invasive species.

I had so much fun creating this collage for #WorldAlgaeDay! Thank you to @WaterlooBio Dr Müller, @LouisCalderCtr Dr John Wehr, and @NYCmicrobes for helping with sampling, learning identification, and use of their microscopy labs.

Congrats to our CSUR students for their excellent presentions during Calder's undergraduate summer research symposium @FordhamNYC RH campus! A special Thank You to our keynote speaker, Dr. Melissa Ingala (FCRH '15, GSAS '16)! #undergraduateresearch #CSUR2023 #STEM

I always learn a lot from people in @LouisCalderCtr algae class, but have you ever seen anything like this homemade portable microscope by Liz Nystrom @USGS NY Water Science Center? Two pieces of plywood, wide-angle lenses, and adjustable plexiglass.

Our article describing the NYC coyote diet using DNA metabarcoding has been published today in @PeerJLife peerj.com/articles/13788 #Biodiversity #Ecology #Genetics #MolecularBiology #Zoology. Here are some of our results:

@DrAlgaeGirl And we love having @DrAlgaeGirl back!

Very excited for @Borikev's seminar @FordhamNYC today on his work on the conservation genetics of the Jicotea, AKA Puerto Rican Slider!

@DrAlgaeGirl @misutachows Happy birthday!

Happy first day of Spring from The Louis Calder Center ☀️🌼🌱 #fordham #fordhamuniversity #LCC #fieldstation #research #Armonk @ The Louis Calder Center instagram.com/p/CbYruKBFFTE/…

I shot my first microbial movie on the @Em1Microscope today. Ceratium hirundinella navigating its way through a party of Peridinium and Trachelemonas. I will get better at this (maybe do some editing with audio tracks), but this is a good start.

The project I started in 2013 is out! We found higher-than-expected genetic diversity in Japanese knotweed, an invasive plant thought to spread mostly by vegetative propagation. The best scoop protection will always be working on an octoploid without a ref. genome! @MFAlvarez7
