3 bat species - 3 sizes, echolocating at 3 different frequencies and each eating different critters

Every year at #WDA2024 there’s a silent + live auction that raises money for activities/student awards. It’s a wild night (and my fave). This year I made two mugs (named “the spikey one” + “mug-a-RAM-a”) that went for way more $$ than I expected. So stay tuned for #WDA2025 - we’ve got some ideas!

The timing is a bit rude but I have been really excited to release this episode. It covers the ecology of #CWD with Cait Nelson who leads our provincial response in British Columbia and the ways in which #genomics can inform management 🔗

I’m not allowed to do any more podcasts about #ChronicWastingDisease

Today we released a Nice Genes! Episode on #CWD and the province announced its 4th case

2 wks ago I guested on the Hunter Conservationist about CWD and the day after the province announced its 3rd case 🫠

I’m not much of a photographer (or entomologist) but this lil photo shoot made me feel like one.

Good morning from me and this beautiful bean on my doorstep this morning.

ID’s welcome - my guess is the Emerald Tip Beetle?

Science is creative!

For this year’s Wildlife Disease Assoc conference @ccyan.bsky.social and I made art!

Blending pottery and stained glass, our piece reflects the need for diverse worldviews in wildlife health work. You never know if things will survive the kiln but it did and I love it 🥰
