Hey #ScienceTwitter if any of y'all are still out there - it would be good to start compiling a list of funders who will still support environmental justice and DEIJ efforts while NIH and NSF are being hampered. Please add resources if possible!

@abigailthiemkey I have not, but I did the program as a postdoc. It seems the current guidelines say it’s not appropriate for undergrad or grad students? 🤷‍♂️

Im considering applying to the Leadership Institute for TWS, but I am currently a PhD student. Has anyone had success with this?

Karma Choki, an NRM grad student, was interviewed by the University Marketing & Communication last November. Here is a sneak peek at her research about tracking forgotten big cat in her native country, Bhutan. Go Karma! sdstate.edu/news/2025/01/t…

Cool footage of 2 bull moose sparring from just 2 weeks ago! And then toward the end of the sequence another small bull decides to join in the fun. All-in-all, some trail camera gold! We’ve only captured this on camera one other time so far. But this footage is much better than our other observation, in part, because the lighting was almost perfect in this video. Suffice it to say, we were pretty excited to capture this footage. In total, the moose were in front of the camera for 14 minutes but we condensed it down to the highlights here. A fair portion of the videos were the bulls just standing there staring at each other.
