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!

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.

🤯 This new @PNASNews paper out of @sfiscience is ELEGANT w/an incredible author list & one hell of a dataset.
The way this is written w/hypotheses & predictions clearly outlined & theory bridging mammals should make this Eco/Evo/Anthro mandatory reading. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.22…

Excited to share our (@evakfischer, @moss_etal) new review paper about the importance of understanding mechanisms underlying behavioral plasticity! This paper challenged me in the best way and I learned a LOT in the writing process. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Excited to give my Allee Talk at #ABS2022 later today! If you are at the meeting, my talk on niche construction by nest-sharing brood parasites is at 5 PM in the Chirripo/Tobosi Conference Room.
ALT Title slide of my Allee Competition Talk at the Animal Behavior Society Meeting. The title is "Niche construction of host broods by avian brood parasitic nestlings".

So much fear and uncertainty for me, a white woman with racial and social privilege, and economic stability.
The ruling is much worse for Black, brown, and Indigenous folks. For the LBGTQ+ community.
This is an attack on all uteruses, but hitting some groups much harder.
