With summer coming, it’s important to stay aware of seasonal risks for dogs, including leptospirosis.🐶 This disease can spread through exposure to infected wildlife like rats and mice, as well as contaminated water sources. Learn more #petsafety here: bit.ly/42KmXvI

Never in modern American history have we seen this level of politicization of science.
Federal research grants may now need to “demonstrably advance the President’s policy priorities.” Peer review will take a back seat to political approval.
Scientists cannot remain silent.

🌲Our squadron of marten dogs, Rogues Ranger, Echo, Whisper, & Siska, have been deep in the Forest Moon of Endor this spring, sniffing for one of the rarest forest predators in the galaxy: the coastal marten. Small, scrappy, & surprisingly fierce, think Ewok, but w sharper teeth.

🐻 And while we may call them our 𝘊𝘩𝘦𝘸𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘢𝘴, the truth is they’re less sidekick and more Jedi Master. Our dogs are our guides, partners, and the ones truly leading this (wildlife detection) mission.

💤Snooze time in the field on our intense coastal marten surveys. This study area is steep & rugged, requiring all our physical (& mental) fortitude.
Sure, our #ConservationDogs are go, go, go but it’s important we stop & rest so they can keep on sniffing for wildlife.

So how do we detect larva from endangered 🦋 ?
Carefully, gently (& w research permits)! This work isn’t a hobby. There’s real consequences for wildlife, and our Conservation K9 Teams are dispatched to detect data in the wild that informs priority conservation needs. 🌻🐾

Katharine Mershon examines how stories about human-dog relationships are actually very much about ourselves—who's rescuing whom—as well as race, identity, and thriving.
