Congratulations to @JustinPinero3 for successfully defending his thesis today! Justin’s research was an elegant collaboration with scientists from @WSUPullman, @LakeClarkNPS, and @NorthernMichU to advance bear ecology and management.

Exciting presentation @TWS_NCS conference this past week by WECOS Lab member @JustinPinero3 about the impact of tourism on brown bear stress physiology at Lake Clark National Park and Preserve in Alaska!

Excited to be presenting about the effects of ecotourism on brown bear stress physiology this Tuesday 10:40-11:00am. I look forward to meeting and connecting with everyone at the Midwest fish and wildlife conference #MidwestFW

Just another day in the field at Lake Clark National Park and Preserve as @NorthernMichU Master's student @JustinPinero3 and recent NMU graduate @madieh133 noninvasively collect brown bear feces to evaluate the impacts of tourism on brown bear health.

We had some visitors stop camp the other day. Two young bears making their way out to the beach. Likely to go dig for clams on the low tide! @madieh133 #brownbear #Alaska #LACL

Ready for another day of fecal sampling with @madieh133. It is such an honor to be able to work in such incredible landscapes with such breathtaking creatures. #brownbear
