I'm so excited to share that my first dissertation chapter on SF coyotes is out in the #OpenAccess journal @ESAEcosphere. We DNA metabarcoded and genotyped hundreds of scats to explore dietary variation across the city 🧬💩🧪 doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.70152

The Eaton Fire in LA decimated my family's homes, i.e., our community and spiritual waypoints for more than 4 generations (myself included). While we are heartbroken, we are resilient. Please consider donating to our GoFundMe to help rebuild (thank you!) gofund.me/6977eb84
