.@ScienceMagazine published a letter about #Amboseli #elephant trophy hunting, which completely ignored Tanzanian realities. Shockingly, Science rejected multiple responses from Tz authors: the local MP has published his now as a press release, but appalling this wasn't published

🗣️ "Trophy hunting is controversial, but when properly managed it can support wildlife conservation...This is why international agreements support the sustainable management of trophy hunting."

A day in the woods 🥰 incredible trip learning about innovations in forestry operations!! Automated planters, drones, new software... such cool stuff in the works from many brilliant people and orgs!
Hello, Stockholm!! Excited to be here for IUFRO 2024. Had the most severe jetlag of my life, followed by a 15 hour nap 😅, so let the exploring begin!
First grad student-authored paper out of the lab is officially published, and it's a FUN one about using social license to operate to explore perceptions about trophy hunting in the US: tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1…

Ideal for a recent MS or PhD grad looking to get a few more pubs under their belt! (qualitative focus preferred)
So wholesome 😭 Our final trip was learning abt "community engagement" first hand w @ARGameandFish. Clint hosted a fishing derby in town so we helped the elementary school kids. Lots of smiles, lots of catfish caught! Watching my students pay it forward was just 🥰 #proudprof
Big thank you to Jamie and @EnexorBioEnergy for hosting us again! It's so cool to come back and see the awesome stuff yall have accomplished since last time! Can't wait for next year 😉
Today was our free day to explore Nashville. So the kids hit up Broadway and then came to watch @NashNightShade ❤️❤️❤️
Yesterday we dropped in at @TOFullerPark and Ranger Decoda was so wonderful to chat with!! One of the students is considering a career as a park ranger now! (Let's be real though, Sunny the corn snake stole the show)
Friday we learned a ton about conservation and ecosystem services with Dr Henson at @DucksUnlimited! And I taught the kids how to play spikeball...a life necessity.
Thursday: our annual visit to see THE Dr. Houston at Ames Plantation 😍 he never disappoints... always a fan favorite
Fell behind as usual... having too much fun this trip!! Wed we went to @DraxGroup to see how they make wood pellets and they even hooked us up with a tour of some Weyerhaeuser land (one of their suppliers)
🚨MS opportunity: Interested in gaining experience in outreach/education/communications? Passionate about sustainability? Want to help historically underserved rural communities be better prepared for climate disasters? Excited by forest ecosystem health and improving habitat?
Seeing how private landowners manage their forests doesn't get old for me-- it embodies all of my favorite parts of what I do, from behavior change to communication to seeing conservation on the ground. Thank you, Mr. @MilesGoggans and Stephanie (QF)!!
We're back at... contemporary issues 2024! Today we visited Wilson Bros. mill right here in Rison. SO COOL!
So this is why the force was with us last night... thanks, @MemeMedianMode!!
