Check out this survey many of my peers @UCBerkeley and I are conducting to look at various perspectives on climate change concerns. If you are affiliated with Cal you can take the survey. Like, repost, and share! Shoutout to all the people in the Brashares Lab working on this.

[Cesár Estien, PhD 🇵🇸 @EstienCesar]

so happy to share a chapter from my dissertation is out today in @PNASNews showing that historical redlining, a policy that codified segregation & disinvestment in marginalized neighborhoods, shapes contemporary wildlife biodiversity in California (1/2)

Another successful classroom bear talk! 🐻 very cool to see how excited kids are to learn about wildlife and how we can help them stay wild!

Hi friends, *need your help*!

Right-wingers spammed our new doc Queer Planet w/ 1 star reviews on IMDB, bringing the rating rapidly from around 8/10 down to 4/10 within just a few days 😟.
Please give us 9 & 10 star reviews to fight back! & share widely💛 https://t.co/TwwdbjA0SI

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💙

First evidence for medical wound treatment in a wild animal 🩹🌱🦧 An orangutan was observed applying a plant with medicinal properties to a wound.

Here's a rather stunning visualization shared during today's @Y2Y_Initiative conference on #roadecology, via Tom Martin of Montana DOT — a young grizzly bear attempting, and nearly always failing, to cross I-90. Each X is a highway approach. About as permeable as the Berlin Wall.

@ScrapNaturalist @jenguyton @NatGeo @cdellamore @kammiey @InsideNatGeo These are so amazing Christine!! 😍

[Cesár Estien, PhD 🇵🇸 @EstienCesar]

my 1st dissertation chapter is out in @EnvSciTech! We not only show that redlined areas face high levels of environmental hazards, but within their own city, they face disproportionately higher hazards than non-redlined areas.

check it out!
