11/28 - esa day 3 Favourite photo contest entry: Green Cuckoo Wasp Defensive Curl by Ali Moughnieh (i copied her abstract below) "Cuckoo wasp might seem like they have a stinger, but that's actually a tube that the females use to deliver their eggs into the host's nest. They have a hard integument and they curl their bodies into this position when they feel threatened." Favourite slide: Ryan Keith - Children and Nature in Sydney Ryan's slides that showed specific answers to open ended survey question were fascinating. There were children feeling love, hope, discouragement, fear, and even SELF toward nature. The thing in common was that these young people had independent, thoughtful answers. I wish we'd ask kids what they think more. Favourite talk: Holly Kirk - A simple framework for measuring ecological connectivity in urban landscapes. Every single facet of this project had me chomping at the bit to do it myself. She used GIS in such creative ways and it has such real world impact and need. Love love LOVED it. 😍 #esa2018 #esa18 #esaus18 (at Royal International Convention Centre (Royal ICC)) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqwDxzPn8ES/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1466zl7jexipi
