ConTex Collaborative Researchers Timothy Keitt, Patricia Escalante, and Brian Stokes have had their research on the discovery of a new bird highlighted in the San Antonio Express News. Take a look at their fascinating findings!
What do you get when blue jays and green jays mate? A whole new bird. A hybrid bird found near San Antonio is the offspring of the two types of jays, UT Austin researchers say. It's likely the first found in the wild.
Congratulations to Drs. Kenneth Greene and Alberto Simpser, ConTex Collaborative awardees, on their recent publication in the journal Nature Human Behavior. Their work explores social polarization and mitigation strategies.
