And thanks to @VIAwesome and @StefanLabbe for the careful coverage of the topic:

What are the drivers of human-black bear conflict? And does killing black bears reduce conflict in the long run? We have a new pre-print to answer these questions using more than 60,000 human black-bear conflict events in BC. Paper is here: https://t.co/VSQD4H3B4z

Not sure which metrics were used to determine these rankings, but Victoria is pretty great IMO. So is our @UVicEconomics department. Economists doing cool applied micro research should feel free to reach out if you're interested in a future visit! https://t.co/526I57BDyP

A few days ago, we published an article in @ScienceMagazine. Time for a short post about it. We tried to contribute to an important debate: How well are we actually reducing our carbon emissions? https://t.co/e4vLo5Wh6S

Only 1-in-5 climate policies over the last two decades reduced emissions 'substantially' according to a new study in @ScienceMagazine. @RyanPriceCFAX speaks with study co-author @FelixPretis from @uvic. #yyj @iHeartRadio

The world can take a major step to meeting the goals of the Paris Climate Accord by focusing on 63 cases where climate policies that have had the most impact, new research has revealed. Watch Ebba Mark's summary of this new study, published today on @ScienceMagazine. 1/2
