The chapter on the weather is what I would send to my folks and friends to help explain how probabilities and models are used to inform decisions.

I don't post often (err... ever), but when I do, I'll make sure it is an accurate representation of my last 6 months. #wildlife #scr #blackbear

@UgandaColobus @samanthaiam You do not have to be a US citizen, but you must already be qualified to work in the US. Hope that helps, and thanks for your interest!

If you are more of a fish person and have a phd, forget my position and go work with Kelly. She's an amazing researcher and person!

[Jennifer Price Tack @JLPriceTack]

Congratulations phd candidate, @atyourcervid, for a most excellent prelims showing today defending your research on elk-wolves dynamics! 👏 👏 👏 watch out world, this is a budding scientist with great things to come!

@andyroyle_pwrc The answer is a contractor lol. Gavin and I are in the middle of renovating a 116 yo house. I question the decision weekly, but it's pretty cool seeing him bring this house back to life!

Things you shouldn't say to a scientist: #1 "can you remove the confidence intervals from your projection results? I don't like that the population could go up or down." I feel like this list could be endless.... Can you guys think of others? #thingsyoushouldntsaytoascientist

@cpmcbirds So sorry Conor. Sending hugs to you and Liz! I had a soft spot for Timber and they way he growled when he was happy.

[Jennifer Price Tack @JLPriceTack]

@KyleeDunham @TrashBirdEcol @clarkrushing @gabbspalomo @BrianaStewartMS Ya, I could do it. I have camera trap experience.

[Jennifer Price Tack @JLPriceTack]

Impressive talk by @katie_m_o showcasing her application of DA and optimization to manage endangered (and adorable) salamanders! #informs2019

@KyleeDunham Yes!!!

Does anyone else get a strange satisfaction from nesting in hotel rooms? For me, I think it is because I get to live that Marie Kondo-lifestyle for a few days without actually having to get rid of any of my stuff! #impostertidy #mariekondo
