🧪Looking back at what was a great conference by the Wildlife Disease Association. If you have a professional interest in wildlife and wildlife health, consider joining our community of passionate professionals. youtu.be/J2pa4XHHeTA?...

Every year at #WDA2024 there’s a silent + live auction that raises money for activities/student awards. It’s a wild night (and my fave). This year I made two mugs (named “the spikey one” + “mug-a-RAM-a”) that went for way more $$ than I expected. So stay tuned for #WDA2025 - we’ve got some ideas!

Chloe Steventon from Zoos Victoria, who has "a historian's brain in a scientist's body" talking about her work on Leadbeater's possums health and how each animal has a story to tell #WDA2024

Joseph Gaydos on the importance of bringing diverse stakeholder groups together for research to be successful and translated #WDA2024

First Nation’s perspectives on environmental management. As part of the lead up to Wildlife Diseases Association 2024 conference, Andy Peters of the Charles Sturt Uni vet school organised these talks. They are good not just for disease but for an important perspective on nature. bit.ly/4eS07r1

The Wildlife Disease Association conference is up and underway tomorrow. Any folks attending? Thought I might do up a little starter pack for wildlife health so we can highlight the stories shared at the conference and build more of a #WDA2024 community here.

It’s not too late to register for the on country (in person) or off country (online) versions of the Wildlife Disease Association conference 2024, 1-6th December in Canberra, Australia. This conference centres on First Nations ways of knowing and being, beyond wildlife health. wda2024.com.au

Wonderful to see so many old friends and meet new people at the WDA 2024 conference mixer tonight. Can’t wait for the first day of presentations tomorrow.
