I'm very excited that a collaborative paper I have worked on analysing the use of interviews as a technique in conservation and ecology studies has been accepted for publication in Methods in Ecology and Evolution. I will make a version available very soon!
I'm pleased to announce I've been awarded a College for Life Sciences Fellowship at the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin. I will take it up next year. Branco Weiss fellow Hannah Mumby has been selected for a College for Life Sciences fellowship at the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin. Dr. Mumby will take up the fellowship from April to July 2018. The College for Life Sciences is a program of the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin to promote early-career postdoctoral life scientists. It offers junior researchers a unique opportunity to step back from their routine, reflect on their domain of investigation, as well as formulate daring and unusual ideas, interacting with scientists and intellectuals from
I'm delighted to announced I've been awarded a Fulbright Scholar Award. Hannah Mumby, a Research Fellow at the Department of Zoology has received a Fulbright Scholar Award to enable her to research at Colorado State University on one of the most well-regarded and impactful scholarship programmes in the world. As a participant, Hannah has been selected to conduct research on male African elephant sociality under different levels of poaching impact. She will collaborate with Professor George Wittemyer at the Department of Fish, Wildlife and Conservation Biology and use data from his study site in Samburu, Kenya, along with her data collected in collaboration with Elephants Alive in the Greater
This week I've been very excited to welcome two new post-doctoral Research Assistants, Caitlin and Derek. Here they are, in their own words and pictures. Caitlin is working to develop a system to classify male tusks using photographs taken over the past 20 years in South Africa. She will also be creating a protocol for collecting photographs of male tusks in the field to estimate body size and condition in a non-invasive manner. Caitlin’s previous work at the University of Oxford examined breeding success and timing in penguins, using remote time-lapse cameras to study their behaviour year-round. She helped to establish the citizen-science website Penguin Watch to engage volunteers in imag
