📣New publication! “The gendered costs of human-wildlife conflict: A global systematic review” in @ambio-journal.bsky.social. Led by Katie Adler, also w/Dr. Meredith Gore. We found that costs vary significantly by location & context, & deserve more study. Check it out: doi.org/10.1007/s132... 🧪🌏

here’s more context to the videos DHS is putting out from Chicago.

✅ I finally got a chance to ask my “fifth committee member”, Jeff Goldblum, to sign my dissertation, which is titled “Life Finds a Way: Carnivore Movement and Conflict in Developing Landscapes”. 😋 My work on human-wildlife interactions continues to embody this iconic Jurassic Park phrase 🐾👣🌱. 🧪🌍

When my nephew was born, I got him many misunderstood animal stuffies, starting with a tarantula. I was inspired by this photo of young Dr. Jane Goodall with her stuffed chimpanzee, hoping my nephew would come to love these critters. Now 11, he recently told me he wants to be an entomologist. 💛🐜🧪🌎

For everyone paying attention to earthquake & tsunami info, a lot of funding for tsunami & earthquake monitoring comes from NOAA, but the fed gov is cutting their funding. Call your legislators, tell them to fund NOAA & USGS, who in turn funds regional network operators, like AK Earthquake Center

Yesterday, we organized the Flour March. Thousands of us, Jewish and Palestinian, marching with sacks of flour in our hands and fire in our hearts. We came because we refuse to stay silent as our government commits atrocities in Gaza.

If you don't read @orionmagazine.bsky.social , you should. Long form thoughtful articles. This is one of the 25 most read and the fulcrum sentence is "And so I ask myself: what, at this moment in history, would not be a waste of my time? And I arrive at five tentative answers:" #anthropocene

Good news! The Humans and Hyenas Alliance has *finally* sourced a fantastic project vehicle that is relatively affordable, & we're in the process of purchasing it. 🥰 Bad news: I'll have to pay for ~1/2 of it out of pocket. Can you help offset costs? gofund.me/bb8f0577 (1/2)

Masked and unmarked ICE agents (real or fake) are causing fear and chaos in our communities. California legislators have introduced the No Secret Police Act, which would prohibit law enforcement officers from hiding their identities during public operations. Urge your local leaders to act. 👇

On the subject of coyotes, today’s CA Fish & Game Commission meeting will include an important discussion about the proposal to remove coyotes from the list of “non-game” wildlife, thereby ending indiscriminate killing of coyotes in CA. Attend the meeting virtually: fgc.ca.gov/Meetings/2025 🧪🌎
