I'm starting to slowly move my research updates and social media presence to #Bluesky, feel free to follow me there for your infrequent updates on cats that wear cameras!

HUGE congrats to @VanessaHum_ . She successfully defended her MSc thesis today @SFUBioSci . She gave a truly inspiring presentation showing how she has integrated art into her science.

Part of my travel costs to Baltimore has been graciously supported by the @OCTWS_ ! Hopefully the Ontario contingent has strong showing at the conference!

I will be presenting in the Incidental take of migratory birds symposium starting at 1:30, so come for the whole session for what I expect will be an interesting discussion! 2/3

Hey #TWS2024 attendees! In 2013, cats were estimated to kill between 100-350 million birds annually in Canada. Has recent work on outdoor cats in the decade since changed this estimate? Come see my talk on Sunday 2 pm in Key 2 to find out! 1/3

I’m really excited to announce that I’ll be starting as an assistant professor at the University of California Riverside @UCRiverside in Fall 2025. I couldn’t have been more impressed with the strength of the students and the generosity of the faculty I met with while visiting!

Very pleased to see this out. What started as a grad course assignment turned into a quite large PhD side project! Big thank you to everyone who helped pull this together🙌🏼. Please DM me for a pdf if needed! #passerines #phylogenetics

Hey @SCBNorthAmerica !! Really excited to see everyone at #NACCB2024 in a couple days! I'll be presenting my work using animal-borne cameras to study predation by outdoor domestic cats! Come check out my talk if you want a sneak peak at the world from a cat's point-of-view!

Want to do a PhD studying birds and urban ecology? My research team is recruiting a PhD student studying non-breeding ecology and movement of birds in Metro Vancouver, BC, Canada. Based @SFU @SFUBioSci and collaboration with @ECCCSciTech @ECCCWildlifeSci
