ACTWS/CSTWS19 by Numbers

By all accounts, ACTWS/CSTWS19 was a great success. The energy in Canmore was palpable, the plenaries inspiring, the presentations and posters impressive, and the side-conversations passionate.  As we’ve reflected on the conference’s membership and attendance, we’d like to share some key findings.

Perhaps because much of what we do is statistics, we couldn’t help ourselves. So, understanding that this is an imperfect survey (as most are), plus or minus some unmeasured error, here are the conference demographics:

392 Conference Attendees

52% of Attendees were Students

59% of Attendees were Women

~75 People attended the Pre-Conference Presentation

56 Paper Presentations

46 Posters

Rooted in Wisdom: Deer Aging Techniques

Embark on a journey of precision and insight with the Lethbridge College Wildlife Analytics Lab (WAL) at the ACTWS Conference in Jasper! Join our workshop, ‘Rooted in Wisdom: Deer Aging Techniques‘, to explore the secrets hidden within wildlife teeth. Explore both the field technique of ‘tooth eruption and wear’ and the laboratory marvel of ‘cementum analysis’ – both dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of ungulate ages. Delve into the heart of these techniques, comparing their accuracy and precision, with a revelation of the superior accuracy of cementum analysis. Learn the art of tooth extraction and witness the seamless process of submitting your own wildlife teeth to the WAL for aging through cementum analysis. Elevate your understanding of deer populations and contribute to the advancement of wildlife knowledge and bolster your resume with applied experience. Participants will gain hands-on familiarity with the field technique of jaw aging, and the lab process of tooth extraction, inspection, preparation, and cementum analysis. Join us in Jasper for a transformative experience at the intersection of field expertise and cutting-edge laboratory analysis!
