Andrea Rummel, Ph.D.

Had a great time visiting @LabHedrick at @cornellvet and learning about some of the cool work going on across campus. It was a nice break for some real fall weather too!

Exciting news! After an amazing journey at @Sternarchella Lab, I'm thrilled to begin my new role as professor at @UFPR . Ready to welcome master's and PhD students for the upcoming semester—let's study fish together! #teamfish #newPI #WomenInSTEM

only @TxDOT wants more & bigger highways in #Houston. city residents are over it. the construction. the noise. the pollution. the destruction of neighborhoods & parks. you can line a light rail route with trees & grass & coffee shops & bakeries. a highway is just pavement.

I got a screenshot before it was wiped. This was on JD Vance's Senate campaign website until yesterday:

Life imitates art

I met a dog today. When I asked what their name was, their person said “Venus” and I said “Oh my God! no way my friend’s cat is named Weenis too!” & they said “um what? What did you say?” And I said “um *gulp* my uhhh my friend’s cat…is weenis too?” And he said “This is Venus”.

Big things to come from Alexandria!

Elmo was cracking me up on set when we shot this video. Me: mucous can seem kinda gross @elmo: no no. Mucous doesn’t SEEM gross, it IS gross I had so much fun sharing Jersey shore wildlife with the kids from @sesamestreet & @HihoKidsTV Check it out! youtu.be/NNItHwcj2no?si…

NEW: President Joe Biden himself called into the @HoustonChron today saying he's been trying to “track down” the governor to get the necessary requests to release the federal aid, which includes manpower and supplies. Abbott of course has been in Asia. houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-w…

Test drove the bat detector w/ @amulyats & @CoreyDanks in the neighborhood tonight. Here are the results 🦇 Palmer cemetery: no bats detected Konrad sq: none That park at frankford & Susquehannah: nope Norris square: Multiple bats! 2 species of bats! Big browns AND hoary bats?

@SarahMackAttack @HonkIfUrHoary Yes! The number of pulses ID’d can also be an indicator of how much you can trust the auto IDs - so relatively low for the hoary in this example but still plausible. We get a lot of likely hoary passes in Houston too with the echo meters and fancier detectors

I’m honestly not sure how reliable it is, @HonkIfUrHoary and @arummel25 have you ever played with one of these?

Folks, she CAN and she WILL

@mattlanza This is so cool! How often do emergences show up on radar? I study bats at Rice and would love to learn more about this and think about ways we could use weather radar for bat research

Waugh Ave bat colony is having a night.

@scottpegan So cool!!
