What’s that you got there buddy? And why are you even outside???
Tyus Williams is a PhD candidate at UC Berkeley studying the effects of urbanisation and domesticated cats on wildlife. Have ever wondered what your cat does outdoors and if they should even be outside in the first place? Let Tyus help you answer those questions.
You can also buy his book about Big Cats (the real outdoor cats), A Day in the Life: Big Cats, wherever books are sold!!
(If you take your cat out on a leash we love to hear it and I would love to see it. Tag us maybe 🤔)

See you for Juneteenth!

@sciencewithtyus - Something I learned from my studies in wildlife is that if you understand the habitat around you and the food resources potentially available to wildlife you can also discern some of the species around you as well!

In this video we see how a Blackberry bush can be a clear indication of available forage for various animals from omnivores to herbivores.

So excited to announce the first episode of Science Quilts is Live!!! 🐆🐅🐆🐅

Join our guest @sciencewithtyus , a PhD student at UC Berkeley studying ecology and science communicator, as he discusses his journey in wildlife research, the importance of representation within the scientific community, and his innate empathy for large carnivores and predators. 🐯Tyus also shares his insights on addressing past scientific wrongs, the dynamics of human and wildlife coexistence, and his experiences as the author of a children’s book. 📚 Join us as we dive deep into the intricacies of ecological research, the pressing need for diversity in science, and the challenges facing scientific communication. 🧬🔬🗣️

Episode will be linked in the bio! ⚛️

📣 Communicating Science in an Age of Distrust 📣

After the amazing Chanel Matney, our fourth and newest expert presenter of the season was the inspiring @sciencewithtyus . Tyus D. Williams (he/him) is a Ph.D. student at the University of California, Berkeley in the Schell Lab and Brashares Lab studying carnivore ecology and spatial ecology. He is also a phenomenal science communicator firmly believing that people cannot fully harness the intellectual merits of science without engaging the public in an inclusive effort.

Tyus joined us this year in Spring 2023, and we are grateful for the guidance he has been able to provide to each one of our YVoS members. 🌟

🐅BIG CATS🐅
Tigers, Lions, Leopards and more! Wild Cats are both loved and feared, today I've got a selection of books for learning more about these feline creatures. With a sneaky inclusion at the end of a book not about Wild Cats, hopefully it makes sense when you read it! Enjoy!

🐅A Day in the Life: Big Cats
✏Tyus D. Williams
🎨Chaaya Prabhat
This is your one stop shop for all things big cat, touching on all species of Big Cats and what they get upto in their day to day life.

🐅The Tigers Tale
✏Catherine Barr
🎨Tara Anand
A detailed look at the workings of a Tiger conservation project in India. Full review coming soon!

🐅Really Wild Families: Little Lion
✏Anna Brett
🎨Carmen Saldaña
An insight into the life of a baby lion, complete with hands on activities at the back.

🐅Lord of the Forest
✏Caroline Pitcher
🎨Jackie Morris
A stunning picture book, that fantastically portrays what makes a Tiger exude a majestic persona.

🐅Snow Leopard
✏Justin Anderson
🎨Patrick Benson
A part of the Nature Storybook series, this is a narrative nonfiction that explores the Himalayas with this rare beauty.

🐅Tigress
✏Nick Dowson
🎨Jane Chapman
Another from the Nature Storybooks series, I highly recommend them if you're not familiar. This follows a Mother Tiger as she raises her cubs.

🐅Willow the Wildcat
✏Lynne Rickards
🎨Kirsteen Harris-Jones
A sneaky inclusion as Wildcats aren't Big Cats. This did seem the perfect opportunity it to share this wonderful book about a lesser known UK native wild mammal, living in the Scottish Highlands.

Which would you pick up first?

✨Meet our newest expert workshop leader: Tyus Williams!✨

Workshop: Communicating Science in an age of Distrust with Tyus Williams 📱

Tyus D. Williams (he/him) is a Ph.D. student at the University of California, Berkeley in the Schell lab and Brashares Lab studying carnivore ecology and spatial ecology. Researching how mammalian predators navigate through a rapidly changing world under human-dominated landscapes and compete amongst each other under environmentally stressful circumstances, Tyus utilizes non-invasive surveillance techniques (such as camera traps with technical tools) to understand movement patterns, predation ecology, human-wildlife conflict, and species interactions to ascertain the long-term consequences of global changes on wildlife communities and human-wildlife coexistence. 🐆

Tyus is also a science communicator, firmly believing that people cannot fully harness the intellectual merits of science without engaging the public in an inclusive effort. ✨

He is the author of A Day in the Life (Big Cats) and you can learn more about his work on his website located in the link in our bio! 📚
