Hey Mastodon! Time for my #Introduction:
I'm a wildlife biologist living in #Whitehorse #Yukon. My focus is on monitoring, managing, and assessing the #CumulativeEffects of disturbance - particularly on #Caribou #GrizzlyBears & #moose. I live in, work on, and explore incredibly beautiful landscapes every day.
I love hiking, cross-country skiing and being outside summer or winter! I'm passionate about gardening, science, cooking, and dogs! Oh and I'm a #LivingLiverDonor.

Went snowshoeing along the Peter’s Kill in Minnewaska State Park, yesterday. We were virtually the only people there, very serene. Definitely a winter wonderland ❄️ Second year using my MSR Lightning Ascent snowshoes, still very lightweight with good traction: https://www.rei.com/product/160736/msr-lightning-ascent-snowshoes-mens
Attention #wetland #scientists! @KirkwoodLab and I are excited to be hosting a session at #iaglr23 in #toronto (May 8-12) on Mighty #Wetlands as #Keystone #Ecosystems. Abstract submissions for posters and oral presentations are now open
https://iaglr.org/iaglr2023/program/abstracts/
Don’t worry, we’ll remind you in the New Year. You have until *January 27* to apply.
ALSO, I wrote a really cool popular science book about the stories behind bird migration research that comes out in March. If you preorder it and forward your confirmation to me (first name dot last name at gmail) I'll mail you a signed bookplate! #ornithology #birds #bookstodon
If you're trying to find journalists on Mastodon, I've created a verified database of several hundred here: http://presscheck.org. Since the backlog has become enormous, the unverified waiting list is now public also: http://presscheck.org/pending

We need to put the economy on a war footing to tackle the climate crisis.
when working with ecological data, we often need to group the data based on a particular variable in R. An easy way to do this is using the function group_by() from 'dplyr' package. Check out our blog post to learn how!

Physicists clock the speed of light at 9,460,730,472,580.8 km/yr (fast!), yet light from the bright stars we see in #space still takes an extraordinarily long time to reach us.
NASA’s Webb telescope has provided a glimpse back more than 13 billion years in time, nearly to the beginning ✨
