A map of the spread of Pd (Pseudogymnoascus destructans) that causes white-nose syndrome in bats, across Canada from the CWHC https://www.cwhc-rcsf.ca/white_nose_syndrome_reports_and_maps.php

🦇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.

Hooray 🥳 👏👏👏
Well done @edmilibandmp.bsky.social

you should try living here in Czechia. EVERYTHING is more expensive than alcohol

Awesome news! Well deserved, @jackhooker.bsky.social !!

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.

This is so tough. I ended up self-funding my PhD so I could do the project I chose. And I did it part time whilst working full time. It was really hard. There are things you can do to make yourself stand out a bit more, like having a load of different CVs, each with a different emphasis.

Nice review by @thereremouse.bsky.social et al. of a new harp design that was extensively field-tested by the Croatia bat team in our Krka National Park field site this summer:

Our @opwall.bsky.social bat survey team in Croatia had the opportunity this summer to really put some Hunbat carbon fibre harp traps through their paces. Here's our review in @insideecology.bsky.social magazine. #bats #fieldwork #research #chiroptera #harptraps 🦇

This is the antidote I needed this morning.

Thank you for coming to my Teddy talk.

can we possibly postpone the #rapture until after #fatbearweek ??

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Finally watching The Last Kingdom and have encountered one of my historical/fantasy writing pet peeves, which is having just one or two 'old-timey' ways to say something like 'money' and then using them over and over again almost like proper nouns.

In tLK, 'silver' and 'wealth;' like 'coin' Skyrim.

COVID and flu shots ✅

Have you scheduled yours yet?

California bans most law enforcement officers from wearing masks during operations California will be the first state to ban most law enforcement officers from covering their faces while conducting official business. Gov.

Gov. Gavin Newsom signs a law banning most law enforcement officers from wearing masks during some operations.

It's my second time reading it, and I enjoyed it even more this time. I still prefer the Left Hand of Darkness, though. Next month it is my pick, and I thought I would switch things up and go with The Running Man, as the new film is out soon.

Book club tonight, and it's a doozie, with The Dispossessed. I have wine chilling and cats napping. #books #scifi #dystopia
