Should've done this before #TWS2022 but; I'm a PhD student in Elie Gurarie's lab at SUNY-ESF studying caribou movement ecology, working on novel acoustic methods to study behavior, recruitment, insect harassment and sound disturbance.

New Paper Alert🚨 We identify a potential driver of site fidelity: the biogeochemical boomerang. By simulating caribou calving, we found that animals concentrate nutrient-rich waste when they exhibit site fidelity, which boosts forage quality, possibly reinforcing their return.

Opinion pieces, where facts go to die? @pacificwild says our recent paper advocates for the indefinite culling of wolves and for habitat restoration efforts that will span hundreds of years. Neither is true, both measurably false. Disappointing. straight.com/city-culture/h…

Absolutely biblical skies in Tasmania at 4am this morning. I’m leaving today and knew I could not pass up this opportunity for such a large solar storm. Here’s the image. I actually had to de-saturate the colours. Clouds glowing red. Insane. Shot on Nikon. Rt appreciated

Walrus in Svalbard with avian influenza. This is a concerning situation for many species. Who scavenges a dead walrus in the Arctic? Polar bears, Arctic fox & more birds. courthousenews.com/bird-flu-claim…

The feeling when your institution fails you because they can't sign a form on time and you therefore are not allowed to receive money that another institution is trying to throw at you.

I gave birth to a 9 lb 7 oz baby on the 7th and sent out our audiologgers to Yellowknife today with @ChloeBeaupr1 after spending the last two weeks getting them ready to deploy on caribou. Sometimes the big projects all happen at once- so grateful for all the support from family
