So finally (now for realsies) changed my twitter handle from the teenage-legacy @sk8sbd (don't ask me about it, it's embarrassingly silly) to a more adult yet "hey-look-I'm-still-fun" ChatGPT-suggested version, @CritterMapper

The badger crew really smashing it this #AIMS2024

[All-Ireland Mammal Symposium 2024 @IreMammal2024]

@PauleemilieRuy @CritterMapper @SammyHareBall talking disease, modelling and population genetics!

So many good talks this intern can't keep up with the tweeting!

#AIMS2024

Go check out this attempt by a Catalan seabird person to write about Irish mammals. What could possibly go wrong?

[UCD Earth Institute @UCDEarth]

📢 In our latest #AtoZofSustainability research, @CritterMapper @UCDSBES explores complicated history of mammals in Ireland including past extinctions of large mammals, present management problems + future reintroduction of some long-gone large mammals

An abundance of badgers at #ISEC2024 with the screens back at work

[Virginia Morera-Pujol @CritterMapper]

Statistical ecology is 🔥🔥🔥 #ISEC2024

[Virginia Morera-Pujol @CritterMapper]

What a banging venue for #ISEC2024

The Welsh skies being much nicer to me than the Irish ones so far

[Virginia Morera-Pujol @CritterMapper]

Happy two month anniversary to my submitted manuscript still "under review" 🥳🥳🥳

[Virginia Morera-Pujol @CritterMapper]

@pintofscienceIE event last night at Slatterys of Capel Street l. Fantastic venue, great evening, very interesting questions by the audience and all round fun night. highly recommended! #PintOfScienceIE

[Virginia Morera-Pujol @CritterMapper]

Oh la la look at Dr. N𝐨la𝐧 being all doctor-y! Congrats Grace, well fought and well deserved!!

[Grace Nolan @GraceNolan]

Yesterday I successfully defended my PhD thesis! Delighted to be able to put “Dr” in front of my name after four years of hard work 🎓🍾

[Virginia Morera-Pujol @CritterMapper]

Come along to Slattery's of Capel Street next Wednesday May 15th if you want to know all about badgers, gulls, kelp and saltmarshes (yep, intriguing combination!)

A week in the life of K29, an adult Herring gull we tagged on @ucddublin in summer 2023, that's still going strong in the new year. The maps shows points from the last week of January. @UCDSBES @scienceirel

[Virginia Morera-Pujol @CritterMapper]

Fantastic research from a fantastic researcher @jane_faull

Don't hesitate to give her a follow if you want to know more!

[British Ecological Society @BritishEcolSoc]

What happens when we feed urban deer?
🦌
Research presented at #BES2023 by @jane_faull explored the consequences of fallow deer in Dublin’s Phoenix Park begging for food.

[Virginia Morera-Pujol @CritterMapper]

It me! I had a blast explaining the ins and outs of badgers in Ireland at #BES2023, so much so that I forgot to tweet about it at all. Lots of feedback and interesting 𝑏𝑎𝑑𝑔𝑒𝑟 𝑏𝑎𝑑𝑔𝑒𝑟 𝑏𝑎𝑑𝑔𝑒𝑟 conversations.

[Grace Nolan @GraceNolan]

Our very own @CritterMapper talking all things badger distribution and abundance in Ireland - critical information needed for the effective management of bovine TB. @UCD_Research @UCDSBES @UCD_Wildlife #BES2023

[Seabird Ecology Lab @SeabirdEcology]

Check our brand new preprint in #bioRxiv on Age-related spatial ecology of #Audouin's #gull during the non-breeding season https://t.co/FAnl16pL9d led by Raquel Ponti @ReiZubi, based on accurate #GPStracking of #birds breeding in #Murcia #Spain with the support of @FBiodiversidad

[Virginia Morera-Pujol @CritterMapper]

Take a peek at this beauty! @KilsResearch hard work and my first baby steps at supervision come together to produce beautiful plots exploring the expansion of #deer populations in #Ireland

[Ecological Applications @ESAApplications]

#OpenAccess with #opendata & code from @figshare

Bayesian areal disaggregation regression to predict wildlife distribution and relative density with low-resolution data

[Virginia Morera-Pujol @CritterMapper]

Come work with Adam if you like urban gulls and tracking data and a cool city to live in (if a bit on the expensive side 😅) #seabirds

[Virginia Morera-Pujol @CritterMapper]

Look at me looking all professional! Had the best time at #OIBCork2023 talking about deer, their current situation and how we got here

[Nigel Monaghan @KeeperNH]

Virginia Morea-Pujol at Origins of Ireland’s Biodiversity #oibCork2023 showing how to refine data on Irish deer to advise on conservation issues

[Virginia Morera-Pujol @CritterMapper]

@anapayopayo @UoABioSci @unicomplutense Toma!!!!! Afortunada la conplu, no saben todavía que pedazo de crack se les viene encima! Enhorabuena!

[Virginia Morera-Pujol @CritterMapper]

Come find me at poster 49 (upstairs) to see how we plan to evaluate the effect of deer on forests and biodiversity! #Trees4CBP

P.S.: Also, lmk if you have a ticket for dinner you're not going to use!

[Virginia Morera-Pujol @CritterMapper]

Loving this women-led @BritishEcolSoc #trees4cbp conference! Come see my poster (no 49, upstairs) if you need a rest from trees though, there's heaps of animal pictures there!
