Comforting takeaway from @RosieWoodroffe’s #asab22 plenary: “It is possible to bounce back from professional and personal setbacks.”

[ASAB @asab_org]

Excited for our first plenary @DrLucyHawkes - an outreach plenary on the history and future of animal tracking or “bio-logging” 🐾 Big hello to all the A-level students here for this talk! @asab_conference @ASABeducation #asab22

[Pia Ricca @Pia_Ricca]

Well, turns out I get a free sleepover in Newcastle and will make my way tomorrow morning. To whoever stole the signal cables… you have caused quite the faff

[Pia Ricca @Pia_Ricca]

On my way to Edinburgh for the @asab_conference, poster in tow. Job interview, cancelled trains and now big big train delay, I’m tired but jazzed. Fingers crossed I make it eventually! #asab22

The vote in favour of Proposal 37 has been swiftly followed by a consensus decision in favour of Proposal 38 - so that's a recommendation to put Hammerhead #sharks on #CITES Appendix II in addition to all Requiem sharks #CITESCoP19 #ForNature

The webinar series presenting these case studies has been so interesting, I highly recommend them! Social sciences are the key for biodiversity conservation and I’ve already used a lot of insightful info in my work since

In Bolivia, the Andean Bears and People Project aimed to improve the well-being of communities and the populations of Andean bears by linking poverty reduction and biodiversity conservation. Read more about the process taken here:

⇒Tuna & billfish fisheries & increasingly shark fisheries are important to ensure global #foodproduction
⇒Yet, these predatory species also keep ocean ecosystems in balance
⇒So, their depletion risk ocean resilience, risking #foodsecurity and #jobs over the long term

Des nouvelles: je suis rentrée en Europe pour me rapprocher de ma famille et je suis à la recherche de travail! Je suis partante pour toute la France/Europe, avec des intérêts de recherche sur les espèces migratrices, SIG et la politique marine. Toutes les pistes sont appréciées!

[Pia Ricca @Pia_Ricca]

Quick check in: I’ve moved back to Europe to be closer to family, and I am now in the full swing of finding work, which is always a challenge. I’m open to work in France/Europe, with interests in migratory species, GIS & marine policy. Any leads appreciated!

@ShibaniMahtani @io_congress Miss you 🥹🥹🥰

[Pia Ricca @Pia_Ricca]

Just finished my talk and the live Q&A at @io_congress #IOCongress2022 ! Thanks to the participants for attending and all my fellow panelists for such an interesting discussion on the importance of the full annual cycle for migratory bird conservation.

[Pia Ricca @Pia_Ricca]

@ocean_roisin Yes girl!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼

[Pia Ricca @Pia_Ricca]

We’ve been busy in the field the last couple of weeks! Preliminary data is showing some cool stuff already… 🤩

[John Allcock @JAAllcock]

Last year we put geolocators on White-shouldered Starlings to discover more about their movements.

This year we need to catch the birds to get data... two trapping sessions and three loggers recovered so far.

Hopefully more to come soon...

@ljfalkenberg What’s not to love about jellies!!

[Pia Ricca @Pia_Ricca]

My jellyfish paper has received its first citation. It’s such a niche paper and I didn’t expect this at all!! 🤩
