I'm a PhD candidate at the University of Oregon. I grew up in tropical Mexico and have been always amazed by nature. After working with bird nests for 8 years I started to wonder how important it would be to have the right partners while growing up. For a baby bird, the nest microbes are those partners and as a bird parent it would be critical to provide the best microbes for your offspring. Now I have the chance to study that system, thanks for helping and being part of the project!
