The new antenna and receptors on the satellite, along with smaller tracking chips and batteries, let scientists remotely monitor songbird movements in greater detail than ever.
Researchers like avian ecologist and Georgetown University Ph.D. student Emily Williams are using scientific innovations to unravel why some American robins migrate long distances, but others do not.

The $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, a stimulus package introduced by the Biden Administration, recently received Congress approval. The stimulus package, like its two predecessors aimed at providing relief for individuals and businesses hindered by the COVID-19 pandemic, includes another round of funding for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).
The American Rescue Plan includes $7.25 billion for PPP loans as well as a number of changes to make it easier for the smallest of businesses to gain access to the funding. With billions on the table for struggling small businesses, new research from the University of Florida Warrington College of Business finds that community banks are a critical source for helping these businesses keep their workforce employed during the pandemic through PPP loan access.
