Just collecting some of my posts on this topic here:
When, if ever, will @DrMANowak and @harvard do something about their unethical association with rapist Jeffrey Epstein - they took his money, propped up his reputation, and now? crickets - read more from @xeni about this: https://t.co/deoSQ7HbT2
Over the last few days, I have spent some time digging into the sordid connections between rapist / pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and various groups at @harvard e.g., https://t.co/UAwjqbhh6t
To everyone who has been digging into the disturbing connnections between academics and scientists and Jeffrey Epstein - I thank you - science dies in darkness - universities die in darkness - keep shining the lights into every corner #JeffreyEpstein#Harvard#MIT
Continuing my digging into the disturbing connections between Jeffrey Epstein & @harvard & how @harvard@DrMANowak & others simply ignored all the horrific actions of Epstein in exchange for money - see most recent thread here https://t.co/R9je09HNJ9

Yesterday I had seven meetings or interviews for work which were by phone and one which had to be in person.
So I decided to do the phone calls at what I call my "trail desk." That is, I do the call while out walking around and/or birding and/or at least doing something outdoors. Sometimes I have to sit down and look at my phone to see someone's slides or google doc but most of the time I can do things just as well when walking. And taking pictures every once in a while.
Basically I drove to a few different spots around the #DavisCA area that I like including the Davis Wetlands and Yolo Bypass and did calls from there.
Here are some of the better pics I took during these calls. I also posted a bunch of these and others to iNaturalist. See here: https://www.inaturalist.org/calendar/phylogenomics/2019/8/16 (where you can find IDs for things and locations).
And then on July 25, I went again with some members of my lab. It was spectacular, even though we did not see any peregrine falcons this time.
I went a few minutes early and drove a loop in the park and then parked on the levee near the gate and went for a little walk there. On the walk I got a few nice pics of a great egret.
Then I set up two trips over by where the bats come out. One with an old camera and a wide angle lens. And on that one I recorded video of the bats.
And then on the other one I took pics with my Nikon D500 and Nikkor 200-500 mm lens. See pics below. I also made a gif from the pics.
