Hi Folks:
One month after hiring me, CDFW decided to cut CA's human-wildlife conflict program for the next fiscal year, to the immense detriment of myself, many staff, & Californians.

By accepting this job, I had declined other offers. I am now seeking alternatives. Thank you💙

@united Why, oh why was I on the phone with several of your agents for over an hour to access a $45 flight credit from you misspelling my name...to not actually be able to use the $45? #NotHappy

Go @earlham1847 Go! Today and all days, I'm a proud alum.

[Carrie Seltzer @carrieseltzer]

I ♥️ this little college I attended, and there's several incredible fundraising matches for #EarlhamDay, including for their natural history museum.

1 small gift = $216+ for the Joseph Moore Museum! Aiming for 50 museum donors today.

Can a website cataloging the known world of plant and animal life on Earth teach humans how to talk to each other again? Fans of iNaturalist are trying to find out. https://t.co/xgYkyHbueH

Her bio says it all: In the process of reporting this article, Amy Harmon photographed an animal she saw in Riverside Park in Manhattan and experienced unironic elation when strangers in New York, California and Louisiana identified it as an Eastern gray squirrel.

[Rachael Van Schoik @ScienceActnClub]

A beautiful and interactive profile - congrats to the @inaturalist team!

I wrote about how a nature app is helping salvage some semblance of shared reality. Also there is a fun quiz. https://t.co/tsw4sFnzuq
