We are delighted to congratulate and applaud our former postdoc and dear friend, Dr. Aerin Jacob, on her new position as Conservation Scientist with the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative. Her mentorship to our emerging scientists, meaningful engagement with partnered communities, and active political voice for Canadian scientists are virtues of Aerin’s (to mention a few) we will miss here in the ACS lab. As Y2Y’s Conservation Scientist while continuing her Liber Ero Fellowship, Aerin will design, conduct, and communicate applied research to inform key issues across the Yellowstone to Yukon region. We look forward to following her progress into the future!
