A formative time on the tundra

Awesome opportunity; I'd love to see the CV of the person who gets this so I can understand the steps to getting to this level of management. It is sometimes hard to see clear paths from hyper researched focused graduate degrees to positions like these

Some gems from a huge thank you letter Skype A Scientist

Pointedly ignoring whatever’s going on with Twitter and showing you this cool book I found

I wanted to share some of my thoughts on today's Supreme Court decision on affirmative action:

I did a crazy thing (Yellowknife’s 6/12/24 Ultra) and ran for 24 hours. It never got dark, I caught the elusive northern-summer-sunrise, and I saw a wolf! I love my sore leggies and I love it here.

🚨New paper on animal communication🚨

Our recently published study led by Jenny Amphaeris proposes a framework for exploring meaning in non-human communication. An exciting cross-disciplinary collaboration.

Excited to be in Yellowknife for the summer researching boreal caribou survival, meeting folks, and enjoying that midnight sun. #summerforage

I miss Gunnison 😭

Super cool how the authors estimated traffic volume using dispatch records (go Angus!). The influence of traffic - not just roads - was the underlying influence for whether or not bou crossed the road.

I have a stats question for the twitter hive mind. I fitted big mixed-effect stepselection models with strata specific intercept and animal specific random slopes. I am trying to figure out the best way to evaluate fit. I looked at conditional predictive ordinate (1/2)

Enjoyed a weeklong jaunt around Alaska post conference. Land mammals and sea life and birds oh my

we are not prepared for an Orca War. We do not have the resources.

If anyone is driving through Talkeetna on their way to Fairbanks I have a big art piece in a box (plus some poetry) looking for a ride to the Toolik transport depot at UAF! I will Venmo for gas. We got snubbed by USPS for being a few inches oversize :(

Thrilled to share our co-produced (Roland Willson Mateen Hessami Sarah Otto Dr. Ally Menzies Dr. Jesse Popp Hebblewhite Lab @mprice_org) work published today in Science Magazine on braiding Indigenous rights and endangered species laws for culturally-meaningful recovery. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
