The Burns lab past and present had a great time at last week’s joint meeting of the American Ornithological Society and Birds Caribbean. See previous posts for all the talks given by Burns lab alumni. We also had some award winners: Rosalyn won an outstanding presentation award, Amelia won an award for best paper in the journal, and Allison was a featured plenary speaker for winning the young investigator award. Congrats all! Beyond the science, it was great to reconnect with colleagues and see some of the amazing birds and habitats of Puerto Rico!
