» Barn Swallow Research in China

Rebecca Safran (co-founder of CSTPR’s Inside the Greenhouse project), along with Liz Scordato (a post-doc in the Safran Lab), travelled to China in May 2017 to meet up with Dr. Liu Yu.

They are traveling with Dr. Emilio Pagani-Núñez, a research scientist at Sun Yat-sen University. Both Liu Yu and Emilio work on barn swallow populations in other parts of China and are part of our larger collaborative team.
