Reality is often distorted through the lens of identity.

"Scientific management" doesn't mean what you think it means. Values are orthogonal to knowledge. What 'is' does not tell us what 'ought' to be. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

How NOT to keep people away from a bear on campus: "ALERT: There is a bear by the library RIGHT NOW! Please don't go see it."

One of my first #HumanDimensions of wildlife students is out there getting it done! grizhub.umt.edu/news/312227

Famous grizzly bear, 399, was fatally struck by a vehicle in Snake River Canyon, south of Jackson, WY on Oct. 22, 2024. The bear's identity was confirmed through ear tags & a microchip. We are working with state & local agencies to gather more information. fws.gov/press-release/…

These findings open our eyes to important ways social relationships drive people's behaviors that can prevent or respond to environmental change! Huge congrats to @HollyNesbitt!! and our @NSF team @FCFCMontana @umontana and @UNLincoln 10/10

Holly's results showed that although risk perceptions of woody encroachment were high, they were not associated with more Rx fire. Info deficit debunked again! Instead, producers relied on certain types of networks to gain social support needed to burn land safely! 9/

Super proud to announce this new Lab paper, first out of @HollyNesbitt's amazing dissertation!! "Social networks & transformative behaviours in a grassland social-ecological system" doi.org/10.1002/pan3.1… #HumanDimensions #SES #Resilience 1/
