Good morning! I’m Blessing Kavhu (@Blekavhu), and I’m excited to take over today for #BlackMammalogists! Join me as I dive into my work on mammals, with a focus on geospatial analysis. Currently, I'm a postdoc at @ucsc , and I can't wait to share my journey with you!
However, ranger-collected data can be unreliable due to patrol bias, leading to inaccurate models. 🤔
Collaborations between rangers and spatial modelers can help correct this bias and create more accurate maps.🗺️ sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Equipping rangers with reliable data collection tools (e.g., #SMART) to track their patrols can help correct bias and improve poaching models.
However, it’s a challenging journey that may require a separate thread. For more insights, check out this piece: conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.c…
Happy Friday science lovers! I’m Mia (@Science_Miathod) and I’ll be your host for today.
I’m a first-year PhD student at UC Davis and just finished my MSc in Ecology. My specialty is disease ecology and conservation. Come learn about disease, deserts, and more!
ALT Me, a young Black woman smiling so hard. I’m wearing my headlamp and sun hat, my white zip up is pretty dirty from being in the field. The background features a lush desert wetland and mountains.
Thanks for joining me today folks! Have a restful weekend and, in the wise words of @sciencewithtyus, stay curious!
Give me a follow on Twitter @Science_Miathod as I start my PhD. 🫡
