Léna Mazuryk from Laval and Leanna Stackhouse from UBC are now analyzing the data to understand the effects on vegetation, temperature, and more.

A big thank-you to Chad Alexis and Josiah Clow of Alexis Nakota Sioux Nation for sharing their expertise with the team!

Great talk! Apologies to anyone who assumed this was going to be a DJ set.

Key slide from Darío's hair hormone talk. The molecular biology gets a bit technical, so pay careful attention!

We and our partners have been making steady progress on extracting more grizzly bear population information from hair samples. Dr. Darío Fernández-Bellon presented where the team is at and how we're going to keep pushing it further!

We're enjoying the conversations in the Exhibit Hall! Come by in the next half hour for that good pre-supper viewing of deer mortality photos.

That was a big day of talks, but don't leave yet – we have a fun poster in the Exhibit Hall and would love to chat about what we're learning about deer cause of death in caribou ranges! #TWS2025
