Great work led by @S_Bassing, what a joy to be involved in this research on predator-prey interactions!! Keep an eye on that Sarah B, she’s going places and I couldn’t be more proud!! And Cameron is joining lab next year so more great work to come! @UW_SEFS @UWEnvironment

I was looking for a photo today and came across this memory from ISEC 2022. Last time I saw Mike Meredith before he passed, I’m happy to have shared this time with him. Hope you all can make new memories this ISEC! @ISEC_stats_ecol @BobOHara (tag others if you know their @‘s)
First day of teaching. Missed my bus bc I went back for my hdmi adapter. Get to class, can’t find hdmi adapter - dropped it when I took out my lunch in my office, no where near where I teach. No worries, I’ll use the classroom computer…nope, keyboard broken! I needed a plan C!

So happy to share this research! It was a long one in the making but so worth it! Thanks for making it happen @LisannePetracca, great job! Dream team: @LisannePetracca @conversesj and Ben Maletzke
I have never worked harder on a paper in my entire life! Here, with @conversesj and @LabGardner, we merge IPMs and IBMs in a spatially explicit projection model to estimate current and project future population dynamics of wolves in Washington State. 🐺

The sun has set for me on another amazing trip to Tetiaroa! Just forgot a pic of the all star team: Amelia DuVall, Marcela Todd Zaragoza, Jo Chambon, @EveHallock @conversesj @TetiaroaSociety @UWEnvironment all birds handled with proper permits
Alright folks, I made the jump to greener grasses and bluer skies....you can find me there under the same name.

PSA. If your university is considering switching to @WorkdayPolicy -- run screaming! @UW finances have effectively been shut down since July. Can't get a budget for new projects, can't see our budgets, can't pay bills, can't get reimbursed. It's a nightmare. Save yourselves!!!
The University of Washington is hiring a full time teaching faculty in the Center for Quantitative Studies. Please see full job description and apply here: apply.interfolio.com/130626
I'm happy to chat about the position!! Please share widely. @UW #stats #academicjobs #ecology
A few weeks ago my high school friend sent me this pic. She had a requested our Spatial Cap-Recap book from a used book seller years ago and finally got a copy. I can only think it was Mike‘s copy based on what I wrote. He was brilliant and kind and will be greatly missed. 1/2
The unsung hero of Southeast Asian conservation science and practice - Guru Mike. He will be dearly missed.

Another incredible trip to Tetiaroa to study seabird ecology. Beautiful place, amazing birds and culture. @TetiaroaSociety @UW_SEFS @UWEnvironment @EveHallock @LisannePetracca @ameliajduvall @conversesj
I feel so lucky to have spent the last two weeks at @CREEM_cake Thank you so much to @ali__johnston and @chrissuthy for hosting! Unexpectedly nice weather, great company and discussions, and looking forward to returning in May! Global Fellows program at St Andrews is fantastic!

Thanks to U. of St. Andrews for the temporary email account - I've never seen this message in my life.... "Enjoy your empty inbox"! I guess I'm done for the day!! ......And just like the moment passed, I got a message from @CREEM_cake while typing this!

From a talk at #TWS2022 in Spokane to a public talk and karaoke in Chewelah to the film premiere of Wildcat on Bainbridge - the last 24 hours were a whirlwind. Now to fly back to the east coast. @S_Bassing @LauraPrugh @TRGanz @LisannePetracca @Ursus_sierramus @sjzwicker

Had a great time visiting my old high school last night! Thank you to Trinity High School for this kind honor! Not sure what to do with that huge headshot poster though :) @Trinity_Hillers
Congratulations Dr. Beth Gardner, Class of ‘95, on being inducted to the Trinity Wall of Honor for Distinguished Alumni! #itsagreatdaytobeahiller
Really exciting new paper by @mirasytsma! Glad to be a part of this cool research with @LauraPrugh. Key takeaway is that even small amounts of human recreation impact wildlife @UWEnvironment @GlacierBayNPS @UW_SEFS #wildlife #recreation #bears
🚨new paper🚨
How much outdoor recreation is "too much" for wildlife? We found that nearly any level of human activity altered wildlife behavior in @GlacierBayNPS
Excited to share this work and THANK YOU to @UW_SEFS co-authors @LauraPrugh @LabGardner

I'm so happy to have my #isec2022 plenary over. @oaggimenez is a hard act to follow!! Now to enjoy the scenery around Cape Town and the rest of ISEC! Thank you to @ISEC_stats_ecol for inviting me!!

Great timing as this new Special Feature at Ecology - I'll be talking about some of this work next week at #ISEC2022!

Amazing views flying into Cape Town tonight! And I already met two awesome ECRs! Gonna be a great meeting #ISEC2022 @ISEC_stats_ecol @ISECStatEcol
Very excited to see this paper come out! This one holds a special place for me, I followed a number of dead ends along the way (lots of support and help from co-authors @njhostetter @BrettClintock @conversesj )! Check out integrating new movement models into SCR!
