@FART_AVL can we get your t-shirts locally? I’m local to AVL and would love to get a couple, happy to pick up wherever:)

Opportunity

[Aidan Keane @aidank]

Are you interested in understanding public opinions of conservation? Come and do a PhD with me and @_JanetFisher! We have a new opportunity for a UKRI-funded studentship as part of the Edinburgh E4 DTP. Deadline 7th January. More info here: https://t.co/5t3UIUgv6c

[Maria Palamar @baronleza]

@KostarasMikaela Congrats! I’m working on mine, slowly but it will happen.

[Maria Palamar @baronleza]

@TheAngryOlogist @CorrieJN We do!! Natural matriarch https://t.co/99KPH22QyM women and POC owned, the money is used for conservation efforts and to help women in the wildlife conservation field #resolveconservation #womeninconservation #naturalmatriarch #womenwithresolve

@FancyScientist I like the one that has several animals, but I think it can be misleading as we spend waaaaay more time in front of a computer

[Nick Byrne @ByrneNick]

Self-sovereign identity solutions havent taken root because people have been too focused on building elaborate governance structures or building centralised businesses using decentralised technologies. We need to move past this.

Science tweeter, can you ID this spider? Found next to a creek in the mountains of NC for context. Thanks!

@EJSbrocco As long as you were nice about it, I am sure the teacher appreciates the correction over letting her say the wrong thing for the next ten years!

[Maria Palamar @baronleza]

@ScienceofPets I always think about close human-wildlife and domestic animal-wildlife interactions captured in the public imagination (lion hugging a person, elephant playing with a sheep, etc) and how that affects conservation behavior. The effects of romanticizing of wildlife.

@Alyssa_Milano This whole thread is so depressing. How can we live in the same world and have extremely opposed experiences of the same guy?! We cannot fix this if what we consider reality differs this much between us. I feel defeated.

[Maria Palamar @baronleza]

@DrAndrewV2 @jesswade My limited brain was asking a similar thing 😅. Thankfully there is someone that knows their shit and can show me the way. Thanks!

[Maria Palamar @baronleza]

My thoughts exactly

[Maria Palamar @baronleza]

@SolangeCorbeau @kickynew @mollyfitz This is like the movie “the others”

[Maria Palamar @baronleza]

@NessaRS @mollyfitz Omg! This happened for years to me. It was terrifying. It would jump on the bed, walk around me and later lay/seat against me. I could not open my eyes to look at it, I thought it was a child or a small demon. Maybe just a cat and I was being dramatic . I’m happy it’s gone.

[Maria Palamar @baronleza]

@pennnursinglib @MaaloufMD Yes! Yes! Yes!!!!! We should start a feed where we all do our interpretation of this salute!

[Maria Palamar @baronleza]

@LISafterclass Thank you. I’ve heard so many people worried about how others will “take advantage of the situation”, your reply is a breath of fresh air and rebuilds my trust in humanity.

[Maria Palamar @baronleza]

@summerbrennan We got accepted to run a workshop at IUCN, this is huge in my field, and it just got moved to January, not sure it will happen now. This was just one of the many events we lost 😔

[Maria Palamar @baronleza]

@ByrneNick Yes! I hope so. Less pollution, less wasted time commuting, more time outside (have you seen the national parks in the US?, so crowded!). People want to be outside and with family, and now they know they can and still be productive at work.
