Trying to remind (convince?) myself that the 12-16h days we work are indeed work and not vacation, and I’m not wasting time or neglecting my PhD while I’m on Sable, but damn am I ever stressed about everything I have to do when I’m back on the mainland 🙃

Come for some /very/ preliminary results on my first PhD chapter on density-dependent parasitism & female reproductive traits in a feral horse population! Tomorrow at 2:45pm at @csee-sceemtgs.bsky.social

I haven’t been keeping up with the Iditarod much this year, but very disappointed to hear @quincemountain.bsky.social was withdrawn today despite having no intention to scratch #uglydogs

Very excited to finally share this! All of my remote fieldwork has taught me a lot, but there’s just something different about Sable

Our remote fieldwork taught us how to band together as scientists
Three early-career researchers thrown together on Sable Island, a treeless island in the North Atlantic, think others can learn from their experiences.

Nothing fills me with rage quite like trying to do anything in Word, PowerPoint, or Excel. All I want to do is rearrange some images for my lecture on Friday but I’m about to throw my laptop out a window 🙃

If anyone has advice on what kind of medical professional to see for TMJ/trigeminal nerve pain, I’m all ears. Intermittent pain over the past couple months has become much more regular, to the point where eating solid foods is extremely painful 😩

Excited to announce the publication of the first chapter of my PhD in Biological Conservation! We evaluated individual behavioral variation and its implications for delineating intraspecific units for the conservation of caribou. Read more here:

The first paper from my PhD is out in Parasitology! Using DNA metabarcoding, I show patterns of parasite infection in Sable Island horses!
It's open access, so go check it out!

Yesterday a few of us met on campus at 6am to necropsy a collared moose, which was a 3.5h drive then 2km bushwhack away, but the lab truck had other plans & started overheating less than an hour outside Saskatoon… turns out that saved us from a loooong waste of a day

When you were born in Whapmagoostui in December but raised in Montreal/Sherbrooke, winter in Saskatoon hits hard & fast. Less than half an hour outside this afternoon and he ran in and curled up tight in bed!

I guess I should reintroduce myself! I’m a PhD candidate on the @sihorses.bsky.social project at @usask.bsky.social, and did my MSc on the Ram Mountain bighorn sheep project at @usherbrooke.bsky.social Currently working on density-dependent carry-over effects on SI horse life history traits

I guess I should maybe post something to introduce myself, so:
Hi! I’m Victoria, I did my MSc at USherbrooke on the Ram Mountain bighorn sheep, and am now a PhD student at USask working on the Sable Island feral horses! And I’m terrible at keeping up with social media
