A year ago today, I wept my way through my dissertation acknowledgements. I was, and continue to be, so grateful to the female scientists who got me to that point. I want to highlight some of those brilliant people, give them a follow!

This summer, K9 Conservationists teams headed to California to help with some very exciting carnivore scat surveys in the Dangermond Preserve. We scoured the beach area for scats alongside Grace Lewin, @EHHiroyasu (@Conserve_CA), and @hillarysyoung.

Come work with me at the Point Conception Institute!

[The Nature Conservancy in California @Conserve_CA]

Last week, we hosted the Point Conception Institute Science Symposium w/ @UCSBgeog & the Dangermond Conservation Foundation.

The symposium focused on accelerating collaboration for conservation & celebrated over 70 research projects taking place at the #DangermondPreserve ✨

[Elizabeth Hiroyasu, PhD @EHHiroyasu]

Really honored to be featured alongside my colleagues @Conserve_CA about the exciting work we're doing at the #DangermondPreserve!

[UCSB Bren School @BrenUCSB]

Bren researcher @RaeWynnGrant and alum @EHHiroyasu talk wildlife ecology research at the Dangermond Preserve in the cover story of this week's Independent--on the 5-year anniversary of this unique 24,000+acre California coastal ecosystem preserve.

@AFredston Only the hood (you can borrow mine if you want)! The rental I got was nicer quality than the student store rental. Can send you the comparison I did a few years back!

Science has lost another giant. A tireless advocate for the protection of biodiversity - a concept he helped popularize. He was a champion of natural history and one of the most influential biologists of the last century. https://t.co/ETaFoIfiSE

So sad to hear, keeping the Lovejoy family in my thoughts. So grateful for the time I got to spend with Tom. We will carry his torch

[Rick Scobey @RickScobey]

Very sad news: Tom Lovejoy passed away last night. He was a friend, mentor, and global thought leader to so many of us at @WorldBank @thegef @GeorgeMasonU @TheHeinzCenter @unfoundation @smithsonian @World_Wildlife @AmazonBiodivCtr. We will carry his torch forward.

CITIZEN SCIENCE OPPORTUNITY💧: As Californians experience one of the driest years in history, TNC, @CalTrout, & @TroutUnlimited have developed a tool to collect & map locations where #CAdrought is visible across the state.

So excited to be working with @SCAGnews and @Conserve_CA on this project!

[Southern California Association of Governments @SCAGnews]

Have you ever heard of a "greenprint"? It’s the kind of map-based assessment tool that reveals the economic & social benefits that parks, open space, & working lands provide to communities. We've got one in the works with @Conserve_CA - stay tuned! https://t.co/3qd3YEz75V

I'm sure I'm forgetting tons of people, but I'm forever especially grateful for the community of female scientists who paved the way and continue to make science a more diverse, equitable, and and fun place to be. I still weep thinking about how lucky I am to know so many!

@allison_horst is basically a celebrity now, but I'm so grateful to know her and to see all the ways she's making data science and stats more accessible and fun!
