@SpiritAirlines I wasn’t the one inconvenienced, your international travelers were inconvenienced. One of them, Marta, is still not on her way back to Ecuador and is stuck in country where she cannot speak the language. Maybe try to make it better for her.

@VDarbyMoore Our team sincerely apologizes for the inconvenience. Please DM us your confirmation number. We want to assist you.

Today I served as a translator for @SpiritAirlines After a flight cancellation for an inability to fix a broken part on the plane (yikes), non English speaking passengers were completely uninformed about how to proceed because not a single staff member spoke Spanish.

Not only was the staff unable to help passengers who didn’t speak English, they made no effort to seek outside help for them. @SpiritAirlines, if you’re going to offer international flights to Latin America, you must have resources for Spanish speakers!

@Eliz_Hobson @AnimBehSociety Liz, you already know what I’m going to say 🦜

@Eliz_Hobson It was absolutely a blast to make!

@Eliz_Hobson Thank YOU, Liz! You’re a word wizard!

Social history matters in dominance rank acquisition and maintenance in monk parakeets. Great work with the @Eliz_Hobson lab published in @BehavEcol! Read it here 👇doi.org/10.1093/beheco…

@Eliz_Hobson @NSF @BiologyUC @uofcincy Liz, you’re the world’s best cheerleader! Thanks for being in my corner. I certainly couldn’t have done it without your mentorship!

@Eliz_Hobson @DerryberryLab Liz, we can TOTALLY do this.

@Eliz_Hobson @skwinnicki Thank you, Liz! I had a blast making them!

Hey #science #art folks, a friend is hoping to commission an art piece to serve as a cover for their dissertation (on birds)! Do y’all have any leads I can share? Folks who do great art that is also relatively scientifically accurate? Thanks!!

@Eliz_Hobson Thanks, Liz! I’m excited to get this thing submitted!

@Eliz_Hobson @AnnemarieMarel @gsvidaurre @SPrasher1 @natural_habits @Francis11Xavier @CECarmin @EstienCesar WOO! So happy to be part of the process 😄

Don’t miss the poster session tonight at #ABS2022. I’m going to be presenting on the relationship between social hierarchy and foraging behavior!
