As it seems OU will be making a transition to (mostly) online instruction this Fall semester, I wanted to start a new series on the OCEES social media, showcasing our graduate, faculty, and undergraduate research in a light, refreshing, fun manner. Starting
tomorrow, I will be testing out a <b>#FridayFunFacts</b> series! Using study species, taxa, study systems, etc. that we work with throughout OCEES, you can share interesting facts and findings related (but not necessarily directly) to your research (and past
research)! </div>

If you would like to participate, <b>please send me an interesting or fun fact about your research, study organism, or taxa</b> and then a little blurb about your lab or research, which I will make into a short thread on Twitter. This is also a great place
to showcase individual research (grad/undergrad) in labs, new publications or grants, and awards! Please also include your twitter @handle if you have an account, so you can be tagged! I will also be reaching out to labs regularly to seek out participants! </div>
