Please forgive me but I've started a newsletter. It's called "treethinking", and I write about the knotty intersection of science, environmentalism, and society. I hope you'll consider signing up: ethanlinck.substack.com/welcome
the undergrad in my lab saw a wolf while doing bird surveys today. casual Montana morning
ad is live! applications due 7/15: evol.mcmaster.ca/brian/evoldir/…
ad to come, but I'm looking for an M.S. student to work on conservation genomics of swift foxes on the American Prairie Reserve (MT) starting 9/1. this is a collab w/ Smithsonian & Justine Becker; strong candidates will have genomics experience and be up for remote fieldwork
