And she’s Dr. Copes-Gerbitz!! Kelsey you are an inspiration-our mentor, our friend, and often the glue that holds the Tree Ring Lab together ❤️ So thrilled to have been able to watch you absolutely kill your defense 🎓

After 18 months apart, the FIDEL group had beers on the beach! Missing a few members, but lovely to reconnect the lab family as we head into the first week of teaching. #Vaxxed #BacktoSchool2021 #ubcforestry

@erinmcstewart Congratulations on finishing your field season!! We miss you back in FIDEL 🥰

The data sums it up: it's 'a pandemic of the unvaccinated'

Being part of the population represented on the right side of this graph is a great privilege. #getvaccinated

These firefighters are providing structure protection in Silverfork, just east of Kyburz.
Low intensity burning operations remove light fuels from around structures to help reduce the fire risk.

@LoriDanielsUBC @ubcforestry Well none of it would have been possible without you as our fearless leader!! Fall camp is always one of the highlights of my year 😊

[Kate Kitchens @KateKitchens]

Well we did it! We successfully ran a field school during a pandemic! Planning was crazy, but so grateful we got to be with real 3D people in real 3D forests, teaching and learning about forest operations, BC BEC zones, fire ecology and so much more🌲

[Kate Kitchens @KateKitchens]

@ira_sutherland Thanks Ira!! Been a long time coming. Excited to catch up when we restart wildfire discussion group!

[Kate Kitchens @KateKitchens]

Within the last month, my first paper was published and I advanced to Candidacy! After the year we’ve all had it’s been nice to have some wins

[Kate Kitchens @KateKitchens]

@kcopesgerbitz Thanks for all your help Kelsey 🥰 next big summer milestone should be Dr. Copes-Gerbitz though right??

[Kate Kitchens @KateKitchens]

@RSFireNerd Thanks Krista!!

Still reeling @PictureaSciFilm. Realizing today that so many experiences I've brushed off + normalized in school and academia were sexual harassment. Everyone should watch this film
The good news is I have new #Steminist heroes #NancyHopkins @jkwillenbring @DrRubidium @KateClancy

[Kate Kitchens @KateKitchens]

@IgnaceLab @ubcforestry So glad we (in the Tree Ring Lab) were able to meet you in the hiring process! Really excited to see you in the faculty this summer!!

[Kate Kitchens @KateKitchens]

The day after I get my research proposal approved, my new favourite sticker arrives in the mail!! Sometimes it’s the little things #steminist #WomenInScience #PhD

[Kate Kitchens @KateKitchens]

So excited to be joining such a dedicated and wonderful group of people @treeringsociety!

[Dr. Jen Baron @jen_baron_]

@skye_greenler The next generation of fire scientists, who bring an interdisciplinary approach to understand wildlife across boundaries and advocate for transformation in management & governance. @ira_sutherland @kcopesgerbitz @tahiadev @morganahcrowley @KateKitchens @sdicksonhoyle

Don't mow your lawn. Don't build campfires. Don't do anything that could risk any fires tomorrow, please.
