A flyer that says "Jobs in conservation" in white text inside a white box, where the background is beautiful mountains with patches of snow, blue sky, and the foreground is green grass, shrubs, and scattered trees.

A thread of #ConservationJobs (and career resources) in conservation-related science, policy, practice, communication, etc.

I'll add to it over time. Focus will be mostly in Canada, with occasional posts for other parts of the world.

5 Calls Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.

Jokes on them, trying to get people to quit science. The exact people who have track record of inhuman amounts of stubbornness in the face of all odds and fear.

I promise at least 74 practicing marine biologists have been colder, wetter, and more stubborn then they could ever imagine

I suspect most of my followers know but this is a case where actual scientists calling Congress — both houses, both parties — and making a BIG stink FAST can possibly make a difference. Gonna make my calls as soon as I'm out of lab
