Excited to share a new pub with Chloe Wardropper! Using #socialnetworkanalysis, we show that conservation programs can be more effective when designed around existing social structures & info networks in farming communities. #consocsci #ag besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

My heart is sooo full today! Day three of #NACCR2026 was the social science powerhouse day! Two sessions of nonstop #consocsci! I learned so much and met such great people!
Then @scientistsophia.bsky.social gave a great talk on what motivates Mayan farmers to participate in one of the world's largest sustainable agroforestry incentive program. To ensure they keep using those practices, they need to be part of their habits/norms. #NACCR2026🧪
We packed the room! Amazing turn out for the first (of two) social science session of #NACCR2026! Excited for the second #consocsci on bird conservation!
Come to my session tomorrow at 10:30 to learn about leveraging psychology to improve conservation outcomes #NACCR2026

Bluesky gang: has anyone submitted a successful #mariecurie #MSCAFellowship application in environmental studies/social science or environment related fields? I’d love to see some successful applications since this app seems v diff from others! Plz share! Thx!
Check out the latest podcast I’m on by the @savannainstitute.bsky.social talking about my research in Mexico with the federal #agroforestry program #sembrandovida!
Terrific discussion on @savannainstitute.bsky.social podcast of a huge #reforestation project across Mexico that's had successes & failures, been accused of corruption, but ultimately is helping many people transition to #agroforestry Featuring @scientistsophia.bsky.social & others w/ new research:

Great talk from @jaimejcoon.bsky.social & Nathan Alexander about the #LGBTQ+ community in conservation science and how to support them which is now more important than ever. @illinoisnres.bsky.social
I was invited for my first campus interview in one month at the University of Victoria (EeeeK!!!🥳 ) and would love any and all advice on prepping for all of it: the research talk, a teaching demo, what questions to ask, what to look for etc. Send positive thoughts in this very competitive market!

Do I have any #survey experts from @surveymonkey.bsky.social @googleforms.bsky.social or any other software?
