Johanna will explore how eBird data are used by scientists and artists alike, including how these data have helped illuminate species&#8217; ranges and evolutionary history\u2014highlighted through the\u00a0<strong>Yellow-breasted Chat<\/strong>\u00a0and the discovery of the\u00a0<strong>Chihuahuan Meadowlark<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"v1gmail-isSelectedEnd\">Dr. Beam is a postdoctoral research fellow at Colorado State University and Texas Tech University, working with the Bird Genoscape Project. Her research focuses on evolutionary genomics in birds, and she is also an accomplished scientific illustrator. As a high school student, Johanna&#8217;s careful observation of an unusual meadowlark led to a genetic study that ultimately contributed to the recognition of a new bird species added to the official North American species list in 2022.<\/p>\n<p class=\"v1gmail-isSelectedEnd\"><strong>In-Person Program<\/strong><br \/>\nBCAS is pleased to welcome everyone back to in-person programs at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Boulder.
