Hi!
Some of you may already be familiar with me and Conservation Tails, but others may be new here. However you found yourself here, welcome, I’m so glad you have decided to join me on this journey.
Quickly for those that are new to me or Conservation Tails, I’m Coral a PhD candidate in Evolutionary Anthropology and crazy cat mom from the UK, who currently lives in Toronto but works in Madagascar (what a mouthful!). I’m a lover of lemurs, outdoors, reading, science communication and my cats.
I have been growing the ‘brand’ of Conservation Tails since about 2018 when I was finishing up my MSc degree and I wanted a way to share my adventures with people. Since then, I have grown a small (but incredibly supportive!) following on Instagram, written countless blogs and even started a YouTube channel to share my thoughts and travels with an even wider audience.
The idea behind creating this newsletter on substack is two-fold. Firstly, I wanted a place where all my blogs, ideas and thoughts could be in one more user-friendly place. Secondly, I wanted a place where I could create a more close-knit community and have the opportunity to share and connect with people on a more personal level as aim to push myself more into the science communication world.
Here is where I explain how I’m not going to make any promises about what I’m going to deliver on this platform over the next few months. It is currently the end of March and next month I’m heading out to Madagascar to start the last of my PhD field seasons. I aim to check in at least once a month and give you all updates on my travels and any highs or lows, but like I said no promises!
For the future though this new venture for Conservation Tails will be an opportunity for me to give you updates on the progress of my PhD, insights into my adventures, thoughts and ideas, occasional random lemur or primate-themed facts and old blog content, plus many more things!
Please stick with me, I promise it will be worth it!
See ya later!
