Excited to share that last month I began working as a research asst with @MaraHyenas - collecting behavioral data as part of their long-term study of spotted hyenas. I am immensely enjoying this work thus far
With a fascination for wildlife, Ben Simmons '23 excelled in academics, research, & professional leadership. He earned the P.F. English Award from the Northeast Section of the @wildlifesociety - a 1st for UVM. go.uvm.edu/ws1im @BenCSimms #UVMGrad #UVM2023 #RSENR
RSENR Honors College Thesis Defense Seminar: 4/26 10am ET. Ben Simmons will present his research "Characterizing Dietary Niche of Two Exotic Ungulates in Central New Mexico." Aiken 311 or Join Teams event: go.uvm.edu/6lh1j @UVMHonors @BenCSimms #rubensteinexperience
@AuraAlonsoRodz just presented her PhD proposal and absolutely crushed it. Great presentation and conversation with her committee including @vemendez @bpkfish and @g_galford. Felicidades, y adelante!
The UVM chapter of The Wildlife Society and I had a great time helping with @VTFishWildlife deer-check stations! Data gathered from these stations will inform management decisions throughout the state. Also that bear was 310 pounds! @UVM_RSENR
Ponar sampling for zebra mussels for @AMChiapella’s project with @dvm_uvm. Great time! Definitely gained a better appreciation for fisheries work! Also caught some gnarly looking macro-invertebrates in the ponar crossfire
Nearing the end of turtle hatching season! Twas a good time :)
Sunrise hike at Bolton :)
Have been having a lot of fun recently volunteering for @VTFishWildlife on the Spiny Softshell turtle conservation project. Recovered several eggs and live hatchlings today that will be cared for until they are ready to be released :)
Perks of doing fieldwork in #PuertoRico? Obviously being close to friends and family, but also going to the beach to relax for a few hours in between #moth sampling campaigns in the rainforest 🦋🌿👙⛱ #tropicalecology #Caribe @PRicansInSTEM @CienciaPR @EntoPOC
Ecstatic about starting a new phase in my research. DNA barcoding of my collection to evaluate how #HurricaneMaria affected #moth phylogenetic diversity and composition. Thanks to my research assistant Ben Simmons and to @BE_bilingue for this amazing collaboration! @LUQLTER
