That moment when @SecDebHaaland spoke directly to wildlife professionals at the @wildlifesociety plenary 🤩
Great time this morning presenting to council about our ideas for increasing meaningful membership engagement in @wildlifesociety. They were also enthusiastic about our implementation ideas - stay tuned for upcoming new and expanded opportunities for members!

My favorite part of seeing people that you've only ever talked to remotely is discovering that they are wildly taller or shorter than you pictured.

ALT Summer holds a plains spotted skunk. She's wearing a brown jacket, winter hat, blue gloves, and glasses with red frames. Summer completed her MS in Natural Resources at the University of Missouri studying and researching the spatial and disease ecology of the plains spotted skunk (𝘚𝘱𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘢𝘭𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘶𝘱𝘵𝘢). Her fieldwork took place in Ozark National Forest, northern Arkansas.

Check out our latest paper using #SnapshotUSA data to examine the impact of human presence on bobcat interactions with other carnivores across the United States. Awesome collaborators with work led by recent @NorthernMichU MS student Tru Hubbard: link.springer.com/article/10…

So glad to see this one out! Many collective hours of camera trapping these sneaky critters went into this work and there is more to do to refine best practices!

Wildlife professionals, researchers, educators:
I see a LOT of discussion from undergrads about pursuing online/non-thesis MS degrees to advance their wildlife careers. If you have insight/opinions, will you share below? I'd like to post a thread for students as a resource.

There are many serious analyses of carbon offsets out there but I’d like to tell a personal story of offset absurdity. 1/
At long last, this paper is out in the world! We predicted where plains spotted skunks are likely to persist in Arkansas and Missouri. Thank you x1000 to my coauthors who stuck with me during revisions and helped push this work over the finish line!
Interested in Plains Spotted Skunks & where they might persist? Check out our new JWM paper. Kudos to @sumdawg for seeing this to completion. wildlife.onlinelibrary.wiley…

California state law now requires grocery stores and other food suppliers to donate all edible food waste to a food bank or food rescue. 🍎🍌🍇🥦🥕🌽 This will reduce food waste and address food insecurity for millions of people. California leads again!
