Had a great time at #NACCB, making new connections and presenting my speed talk on merging art and science! Thrilled to have won Best Speed Talk! 🎉 @SCBNorthAmerica
So excited to win Best Speed Talk at my first #NACCB2024!
Big week for my team at #NACCB2024 @Society4ConBio meeting. @livw555 @TrianaHohn @ChuJonathan @VanessaHum_ all gave exceptional presentations by sharing the stories of their research. Extra congrats to Johnathan Chu and Vanessa Hum for receiving presentation awards!

Want to do a PhD studying birds and urban ecology?
My research team is recruiting a PhD student studying non-breeding ecology and movement of birds in Metro Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Based @SFU @SFUBioSci and collaboration with @ECCCSciTech @ECCCWildlifeSci
Birds are dying at @SFU and it is preventable! I want to see @FeatherFriendly and bird-friendly designs on our campus. Please sign this petition to help raise awareness to SFU and the public. @SFUBioSci @SFUResearch @SFU_Science

Hey creative scientists!!! 🎨 Check out the new book “Let’s Get Creative: Art for a Healthy Planet” by Jessica Rose that highlights how art can be used to better our environment. (P.S. You may find me on page 60 😉).

A beautiful weekend in Bamfield, BC at @pacific_eec where I shared my Masters Thesis work on bird-window collisions. Looking forward to help implement future bird-friendly solutions at @BamfieldMSC and elsewhere 👀🐦🪟 @SFUResearch @SFU_Science @SFUBioSci
Great weekend in @BamfieldMSC at @pacific_eec!
Couldn’t ask for a better weekend to spend in Bamfield for @pacific_eec! Thank you to the organizers for a great weekend and for allowing us to share our work. @BamfieldMSC @SFU_Science @SFUBioSci

Window collisions are a huge threat to birds living in and passing through urban areas. His death and billions of others could have been prevented. Please take action to protect birds by treating your windows (flap.org/stop-birds-from-hit…)
We are saddened to report that Flaco, the Eurasian eagle owl discovered missing from @centralparkzoo after his exhibit was vandalized just over a year ago, is dead after an apparent collision with a building on West 89th Street in Manhattan. bit.ly/3I9o3b8
Attended the EcoEvo Retreat this past weekend in Squamish, BC. A beautiful conference location and lots of interesting talks. And, I was runner up for best poster!

Since @FLAPcanada and I first asked the Ford Conservatives to mandate bird safe windows, 2 million birds have died from window collisions in Ontario. Birds play an essential role in our economy and environment. Sign the petition here: chrisglovermpp.ca/protect_mi…

Turning out the lights isn't even close to what they need to do (treat their windows) but it's a start. If you don't have a US address use the one for McCormick Place 2301 S King Dr, Chicago, IL 60616, United States
We are less than 300 signatures away from reaching our goal of 10,000. Please share! We will present the signatures to the MPEA at their October 30 meeting. We are asking McCormick Place to turn off its lights each and every night of migration. works.audubon.org/petition/m…

Some days it’s hard to be a #bird conservation scientist. Or just a person who cares about nature. This should be a criminal offence. Well, fun fact, it actually is (👋 invisible MBTA), but never enforced.
Thank goodness for grassroots movements like @BirdMonitors

Interested in studying Williamson's Sapsuckers, with fieldwork in British Columbia? @Emily_S_Choy and I are looking for a PhD student to be based at McMaster University.
Want a project with direct conservation applications, then this project is for you.
App due 7 Sept 2023
ALT Drs. Elizabeth Gow and Emily Choy are seeking a PhD student to join their research teams at the McMaster University, and Environment and Climate Change Canada beginning January 2024. We are a supportive research group that fosters an equitable and inclusive environment for all members to have equal opportunities to grow, develop, and succeed. We strongly encourage applications from members of traditionally under-represented groups. Due 7 Sept 2023. See https://www.elizabethgow.com to view ad.

Birds can see through glass, and what is reflected on glass, but they cannot see glass itself. Reflections on windows pose a massive threat to birds that collide while trying to reach the reflected image. Keep birds safe by creating a visual barrier!

Last week I had the opportunity to share my masters research at #AOS_SCO23. I had great conservations with passionate people, I look forward to seeing more bird-friendly solutions implemented in the future.
