Great, thought-provoking talk by ~Ari~ from Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative this afternoon for the 2nd Annual WHERG Retreat. Let's advocate for science to reduce human-wildlife conflicts! Thank you, Dr. Jacob!

Our Careers Panel had helpful advice, yet took an unexpected turn by having an open discussion about overcoming self-doubt, productivity guilt, and coming out of the "abyss". Thank you ~Ari~ Jocelyn Poissant (mostly on 🦋) Dr. Jamie Rothenburger Bourgoin and Marco for your transparency!

Thank you Dr. @RyanKBrook from U of Saskatchewan for the very interesting, engaging talk about the concerns with invasive wild pigs in Canada! Great to host a returning U Calgary alum! 🍁 #wildliferesearch

Sable Island horses vary extensively in parasite burden. In our newest study, we show that a large proportion of this variation is due to heredity: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #parasitology @UoExeterCEC @ucalgaryvetmed U of Saskatchewan
