Date: 1/6/26 8:00 am From: Joe Gyekis <gyekis9...> Subject: Bird and Human Pigmentation Webinar
Hi Everyone,
Mark your calendars for what I hope will be a highly interesting webinar about pigmentation in birds and people.
Why are some darker and lighter? Nina Jablonski is an anthropologist and an expert on human skin pigmentation and the connection to the health benefits and health harms of ultraviolet sunlight exposure. Bryce Robinson is an expert on variability in Red-tailed Hawks across their range, including the white bellied subspecies of Texas and the very heavily belly-banded and rusty chested birds of southern Alaska, not to mention the dark morph birds.
Hope you'll join us for this talk.
Joe
The webinar will be held Thursday January 22, 2026 at 7 PM.
