After a long time procrastinating working on my updates, just got my new media page sorted! Check it out for my compiled interviews, soundclips, and videos on human-wildlife interactions research and environmental justice in conservation.

International field biologists who have flown with rechargeable batteries for camera traps - please connect with me! Trying to figure out how best to get a bunch of camera batteries to Botswana and which kind of rechargeable batteries to purchase.

Come join my lab at MS State!

I’m investigating relationships between bird communities, fine-scale urbanization, & participatory science.

New interview up!
I've slowed down on the interview circuit in 2023 because I've been pretty snowed under trying to hit my PhD landmarks but super proud to talk human-wildlife conflict mitigation in Sub-Saharan Africa with K9 Podcasts!

Emerging from my six month study cave hibernation to say: passed my PhD qualifying exam!!!!! And it went super well???!??! Thrilled and so excited. 🎉✨👏🏽🔥

Get hype, world. We're gonna do some dope science together.

@abigailthiemkey It's a tough road, but if it's what you want more than anything in the world, you'll regret not trying your hardest for it. Just keep your eyes open and stay flexible, as well. Good to have dreams - good to aim for dreams! But always have a safety net.

[Gabi Fleury (they/them) 🏳️‍🌈 🇧🇷 🇦🇴 🐆 @fleurygs]

@abigailthiemkey Being on the very cutting edge of research and only doing research isn't for everyone, and it's possible to find a balance, and that's a totally valid choice and extremely important, tbh, bc good teachers create good teachers and researchers

[Gabi Fleury (they/them) 🏳️‍🌈 🇧🇷 🇦🇴 🐆 @fleurygs]

@abigailthiemkey But, if you don't want the stress of publish or perish, you can be an excellent researcher AND teach. You just need to decide how much focus you want to allocate to both or either. That'll decide where you lean.

[Dr. Justin Zimmerman @JZPhilosophy]

Isn’t pursuing a PhD supposed to be a time to learn how to be a researcher? It seems at time (at least on Twitter) folks want aspiring PhD students to be fully formed researchers. That’s not how that works.

When I received 2 scholarships back in April, the first thing I thought was “Did I receive these because I check a diversity box?” which was really crappy

Imagine if someone stole your stuff took professional photos of it, and then tweeted about how important your stuff is to you.

New neighbors unlocked 🎉🎉

Saw this group of giraffes (technically, a "tower") standing near the roadside on one of the game farms while going to a farm visit this morning in Ghanzi District, Kalahari, Botswana

@ArjDheer Yay!

Just a reminder to folks that I'll be transitioning largely over to Instagram @bescicurious soon, as Twitter continues to be less of an active platform. This account will still exist, but for more active scicomm, or to connect with me, please check me out there!
