"Bear-y" happy to announce (& shamelessly steal #IBAEdmonton2024's poster) the start of my PhD at @UAlberta this fall on grizzly bear habitat use & reproductive success using #LTER data from the Flathead & BC, mentored by power co-supervisor combo Dr. Garth Mowat & @AEDerocher!

Second publication out! Silver spoons in kangaroos! Does one get to celebrate their first citation ever if it's their own self-citation? 🤔 academic.oup.com/beheco/advance… Also, I am abandoning the sinking Musk ship and moving over to @bluesky: bsky.app/profile/kellyf…

@QbZach She's so great 🙌🏻

Great new paper by the one and only Megan Brownlee MSc !!!

🚨Hot off the press!!🚨My MSc article is now published and available for your reading pleasure in Oecologia! We used 13 years of CMR data to look at how space use influences life history in chipmunks! link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Mesmerized and failing on my trivia host duties! Thanks to all who came to @uactws's College Bowl!!!

Pre-industrial humans, life history theory, & silver spoon effects! Pretty interesting!

My not so symmetrical and grizzly attempt at carving my study species 🐻 🎃

Let it be known that seven PhD students in training is NOT enough to solve a Level 4 escape room: I am actively recruiting postdocs for my next escape room attempt.

@AEDerocher @ualbertaScience Thank you! However, the technical term is "hop" 😉

New @ualbertaScience PhD candidate @Kelly4rester has published one of his MSc papers in JAE: he's bouncing from kangaroos to grizzly bears. Quite the leap! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

@SJohnsonBice Gotta pass that candidacy exam to treat myself 😂

@Kelly4rester Now that you're a PhD student, you ought to get a proper monitor 😉 a.co/d/cXlyBPk

#PSL, give me strength and clarity of mind for this @NSERC_CRSNG application 🙏🧘‍♂️

@apumphrey I need to be VERY specific as the first hit was NSFW 😂

@Kelly4rester proposed title: "what is a bear: bears did bear, bears be bear, but will bears still bear?"

@ClareVenney @UAlberta I accidentally wandered into that beautiful alley, lost on my way to the Hub yesterday 😂

@abigailthiemkey @UAlberta @AEDerocher Bears.

@Kelly4rester @UAlberta @AEDerocher Bears!!!!

Grateful to my co-authors @Benji_Larue, Wendy King, and @festa_bianchet !

🚨 Excited to share my first (open access) article published in #JAE! 🚨 We used 14 years of #CMR data to reveal cumulative costs of reproduction in female eastern grey kangaroos, which highlights the need for long-term ecological research. doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

@victoriacrozie_ Arguably Canada's greatest architectural feat.

@Kelly4rester We love the Wawa goose

Sorry not sorry to everyone else I’ve driven across Canada with, but Timber makes the best road trip buddy even though he can’t drive 🤷🏼‍♀️

@AnneJuLaberge Yay! Félicitations Anne-Ju!
