The worst animal-related injury I have ever had was from my Syrian hamster, Tabitha. I bled for an hour.

Dear Green Frogs & other inflatable heroes in Portland,

You have made this week BEARable & I’m so grateful. Authoritarianism fucks with our heads. Your activism provides a grounding, loving & peaceful vibe during a horrific time.

Don’t ever quit!

Love, Me

Despite the chaos of moving back to the UK this week, I managed to squeeze in a bit of trapping. We caught and ringed five bats of three species before the temperature dropped and ended the survey early. 🦇

🦇The fungus behind white-nose syndrome continues to spread across Alberta. Our latest detection, near Fort McKay, marks the northernmost detection yet. Thank you to our partners at the Wood Buffalo Wildlife Research Institute for collecting this sample. See maps at www.cwhc-rcsf.ca/white_nose_s...

I’m sad to hear the news that the wonderful Jane Goodall is no longer in the world. Her work with chimpanzees at Gombe in Tanzania taught us to look at other apes - and ourselves - differently. I was privileged to meet her later in life and tell her what an inspiration she was to me.

But it is super competitive either way, and often they may already have candidates (their own graduates) in mind. I have applied for postdocs that I thought were a PERFERCT fit for my experience and area of study, and not even got an interview. If I can ever help, please feel free to message me.
