First, the great research our former lab mate Russell Turner @23RTurner is doing at @ParksCanada looking into large mammals up north in Churchill. Currently looking for students for some cool predator-prey and other analyses, a great positive mindset person to work with!

More than 200 wildfires are currently burning in Canada 🔥

[Anthony Farnell @AnthonyFarnell]

Canada just surpassed 4 million hectares burned this year. For comparison, last year only 28 thousand hectares had burned by June 7th. That’s an increase of about 14400%. Wow!

[Danielle Rivet, PhD 🐻🐻‍❄️ @grizzlygirl87]

Are you ready for another #KnockKnockWhosBear identification challenge?

Take a look at this bear. Let me know what species you think it is and why. I'll post a location clue in 1 hour, & reveal/explain in 3 hours.

Get those guesses in and RT to share with friends!

Go! Go! Go!

[Scott Duncan @ScottDuncanWX]

On the frozen edges of Hudson Bay, something remarkable just happened.

A weather station smashed its monthly heat record by nearly 7°C. Even in a warming world, this magnitude of record-break is enormous.

@RyanKBrook Congratulations Ryan. Dino sours to celebrate?
