Things are a little quieter in the lab this year while MBF is on sabbatical, doing some traveling and collaborating with a colleague at Penn State. However, as a result of the extraordinary hard work of student Eyuel Seyoum, who spent 100 days living in a tent at field camp on an island in the Gulf of Alaska this summer (!), we brought back a lot of samples and data from our field season with black-legged kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla) on Middleton Island, AK. Eyuel and Nicole Rupik (’19) are working hard this year to unravel the mysteries of the kittiwakes!
