This crucially important and obviously visionary work makes me feel vindicated for having said the same thing last year, albeit with much less evidence, while being mercilessly mocked by the city and its residents. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Loved working on this paper!

Very excited about this recent publication, led by my amazing co-worker @mhmurray.bsky.social ! academic.oup.com/bioscience/a...

Having a great time at #IUWC2025. Saw some amazing talks, and I got maybe the best compliment on my research I've ever received. I'm way too embarrassed to tell you what it was. Tomorrow I'll be co-leading an all-day symposium on UWIN! Can hardly wait!

New publication out this week in @stacksjournal.bsky.social where we looked at the relative roles local and long-distance colonization play on the distribution of striped skunks throughout the Chicago Metropolitan area! 🧪 www.stacksjournal.org/article/kase...

This is our first post on @bsky.app and we want to share that 🦊 We’ve joined the UWIN network! 🌎Happy that Kim Rivera and Mason Fidino are in Bariloche with us leading a workshop on camera trapping design and using GitHub 📷💻We’re excited to apply this knowledge to study urban wildlife Argentina! 🏙️🐾

Want to increase your scientific impact? Maybe try working with absolute rockstars? It works for me. @mhmurray.bsky.social www.cbsnews.com/newyork/vide...

Yesterday a coyote went into a grocery store in Chicago. news.wttw.com/2025/01/13/c...

Gave an interview about bird flu in Illinois--probably a good idea to keep your cats inside (actually that's always a good idea) and take down your bird feeders if you're near outbreaks. news.wttw.com/2024/12/30/i...

Hi I made a starter pack for scientists and conservationists based at zoos! Please share and let me know if you want in. go.bsky.app/VFEo51C

Well it only took 14 years or so, but our team has finally detected river otters in the Chicago suburbs. A testament to the clean-up of Chicago's waterways, and to our stubborn determination to keep putting camera traps out forever. Hoping for bobcats next! www.lpzoo.org/otters-spott...

I made a starter pack for researchers with UWIN--the Urban Wildlife Information Network (www.urbanwildlifeinfo.org). Let me know if you want in! go.bsky.app/Eei6Tbs

We have a starter pack for scientists using camera traps! 📸 If you work with camera trap data in any way, either collecting data, running ecological models, training CV/ML models, let me know I’ll add you to this list 🎉 go.bsky.app/CbJkbVw

Hi I'm new here! My team and I study animals in the Chicago area using passive approaches like camera traps and acoustic monitors. We also coordinate a global network of ecologists doing the same-- www.urbanwildlifeinfo.org. I'll probably also talk about working for a small free zoo.
