HUGE congrats to @VanessaHum_ . She successfully defended her MSc thesis today @SFUBioSci . She gave a truly inspiring presentation showing how she has integrated art into her science.

Part of my travel costs to Baltimore has been graciously supported by the @OCTWS_ ! Hopefully the Ontario contingent has strong showing at the conference!

Hey #TWS2024 attendees! In 2013, cats were estimated to kill between 100-350 million birds annually in Canada. Has recent work on outdoor cats in the decade since changed this estimate? Come see my talk on Sunday 2 pm in Key 2 to find out! 1/3

I will be presenting in the Incidental take of migratory birds symposium starting at 1:30, so come for the whole session for what I expect will be an interesting discussion! 2/3
