Enjoyed my 1st PestWorld meeting in Denver recently - this NPMA meeting was great for interacting w/ stakeholders in pest management that I wouldn't typically have a chance to share our lab's work with (and to learn from). At least 1 new project in the works now, based on remote rat "capture" data.

This morning, I'm Zooming in to a really interesting symposium on urban rats, w/ interdisciplinary presentations on the history of social views on rat presences, disease risk, & animal welfare perspectives on poison rodenticide use. Hosted by U of Helsinki:
