Want to do a PhD studying birds and urban ecology?
My research team is recruiting a PhD student studying non-breeding ecology and movement of birds in Metro Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Based @SFU@SFUBioSci and collaboration with @ECCCSciTech @ECCCWildlifeSci
Birds are dying at @SFU and it is preventable! I want to see @FeatherFriendly and bird-friendly designs on our campus. Please sign this petition to help raise awareness to SFU and the public. @SFUBioSci@SFUResearch@SFU_Science

Hey creative scientists!!! 🎨 Check out the new book “Let’s Get Creative: Art for a Healthy Planet” by Jessica Rose that highlights how art can be used to better our environment. (P.S. You may find me on page 60 😉).

A beautiful weekend in Bamfield, BC at @pacific_eec where I shared my Masters Thesis work on bird-window collisions. Looking forward to help implement future bird-friendly solutions at @BamfieldMSC and elsewhere 👀🐦🪟 @SFUResearch@SFU_Science@SFUBioSci
Couldn’t ask for a better weekend to spend in Bamfield for @pacific_eec! Thank you to the organizers for a great weekend and for allowing us to share our work. @BamfieldMSC@SFU_Science@SFUBioSci
Window collisions are a huge threat to birds living in and passing through urban areas. His death and billions of others could have been prevented. Please take action to protect birds by treating your windows (https://t.co/Q1JD7U6Ykt)
Attended the EcoEvo Retreat this past weekend in Squamish, BC. A beautiful conference location and lots of interesting talks. And, I was runner up for best poster!
Since @FLAPcanada and I first asked the Ford Conservatives to mandate bird safe windows, 2 million birds have died from window collisions in Ontario. Birds play an essential role in our economy and environment. Sign the petition here: https://t.co/LfcDxfeJyO

Turning out the lights isn't even close to what they need to do (treat their windows) but it's a start. If you don't have a US address use the one for McCormick Place 2301 S King Dr, Chicago, IL 60616, United States
Some days it’s hard to be a #bird conservation scientist. Or just a person who cares about nature. This should be a criminal offence. Well, fun fact, it actually is (👋 invisible MBTA), but never enforced.
Thank goodness for grassroots movements like @BirdMonitors
Looking for a quick and easy way to report collisions on the go? Try out our new GBCM mobile app! This how-to video walks you through where to find the app, and how to use it.
