Jane Goodall is the reason I became a #wildlife ecologist and then went on to study our interactions with nature. She was inspirational and a trail blazing #womaninscience.
In a world full of optics, her quiet leadership, authenticity, and compassion continue to be aspirational.

A baby elephant in the Elephant Species and Habitat Conservation Reserve in Da Nang, Vietnam. The second elephant born to the herd since 2020.🧪
Habitat conservation = conservation of countless species 🌍

Saving habitats protects entire ecosystems. Fieldwork observing monkeys led to an encounter with the now elusive tusker at the foothills of the Himalayas.

Fieldwork fun. 7 months on a coral lagoon diving everyday to follow Green turtles for Science. 8 Hours a day on the reef, and fresh Tuna and coconut water for lunch and dinner... every single day. Simple joys.

We sent Erin off to have some academic fun and talk about variable selection when information is conflicting. The Confidence profile method is a useful starting point to think through decision making with good Bayesian compatibility for #climate and #health work. She even managed some Pokemon Go!

Biodiversity loss, climate change and pollution do not happen in isolation, but proposed solutions too often fail to account for this. Two major reports point the way forward.
