Today was a great day at #ICFT
I had the privilege to present my research this morning, and I joined in on some song and dance in the evening at the banquet.

6 days of field work and likely the last until my next position. It's nice to get out of the office once in a while and relive why I chose this career path. It's also always a great time when working with the CFAAS crew at SIU.

Neglecting to consider mortalities can create bias in telemetry studies. The R package 'mort' identifies potential mortalities &/or expelled tags in passive telemetry arrays, filling an important gap in workflows when analysing passive telemetry data🐾👇

NSERC - Latest News - Launch of the new Harmonized Tri-agency Scholarship and Fellowship programs
As announced in Budget 2024, the scholarship and fellowship programs administered by the three federal research funding agencies – the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) – have been streamlined into a new harmonized talent program called the Canada Research Training Awards Suite (CRTAS) that will open for applications in summer 2025.

Why DEI are important!
🚨 Menstruation & fieldwork: an overlooked challenge in natural sciences.
🔬 The survey (429 participants, 86% women) found:
🔹 48% experience significant menstrual pain in the field
🔹 85% say first aid kits lack menstrual products
🔹 Only 30.5% feel comfortable discussing it with male supervisors
