Andrew MacLean

Andrew MacLean

Andrew is equal parts tech enthusiast, educator, and the kind of person who can’t resist pressing buttons just to see what happens (sometimes even twice). A former classroom teacher with nearly a decade of experience crafting learning experiences for techies of all ages, he traded chalkboards for the keyboards of the tech industry in 2020 and hasn’t looked back. Since then, he’s worn many hats—Community Manager, Developer Advocate, and now Developer Educator at Twilio—where he helps developers connect the dots between imagination and implementation. When he’s not building (or breaking :sweat_smile:) things with tech, you’ll find Andrew soaking up the west coast vibes on Vancouver Island, Canada—where he tries (and often fails) to look outdoorsy.

Carol Tinga

Carol Tinga

Carol Tinga is a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Ontario Veterinary College (OVC), University of Guelph, Canada. Her PhD at OVC was on owner-companion rabbit relationships and rabbit care and welfare. Carol researched the use of established human-animal relationship scales for rabbit owners, risk factors for rabbit retention, and recent domestic rabbit intake and management at Canadian and American shelters and rescues. Currently, she is shortening thesis chapters for open-access publication and presenting results at conferences. Additional forthcoming papers include access to veterinary care, the biggest challenges of rabbit ownership, owners’ favourite rabbit behaviours and why they are so, and another scale validation. Vespa, a remarkable, lop-eared rabbit, inspired her PhD research. Before doctoral studies, Carol completed an MSc in epidemiology and explored how OVC student veterinarians and recent graduates perceived their veterinary technical and professional skills. Carol now shares her home with a bonded pair of free-range, up-eared rabbits. Ellie and Coco, affectionately known as “the hooligans,” came to her from a foster family who took them in after they were abandoned outdoors by their previous owners.
