I recently came across data on who we spend our time with over the course of our lives.

The insights are simultaneously inspiring and depressing.

Here are 6 graphs everyone needs to see:

Because of low funding, many young scientists are now making less than minimum wage, which means they either have to live in poverty, quit practicing science, or leave Canada.

The Support our Science movement is calling for a change.

I'm still looking for a person to do a (funded @NSERC_CRSNG ) MSc* project in my lab, for a fun project combining #fishsci #invasivespecies #urbanecology and #geomatic. Come work with us in @UQAC
*persons looking for a PhD on the same topics can contact me as well.

Mathilde Gaudreau étudie les effets du rayonnement UV sur le cycle de vie de minuscules guêpes qui parasitent les œufs de punaises. 🐝

Elle vous fera découvrir et apprécier la diversité d'insectes bénéfiques qui nous entourent!

Just presented my Master's results at the #ESA2022 on cortisol responses and parasite intensity in sunfish! 😊

#SOS #SupportOurScience rally happening now in Montreal! Student salaries haven't increased since I was a grad student- that's a long time! Nice to see support from @_aecbum and other @BiologieUdeM peeps!

@AlexandraKack obtient une bourse de déplacement du RAQ pour un stage à l'@uOttawa !

Félicitations à elle 👏

Our new collab study in @ScienceMagazine shows an important role of gut #microbiome in highly flexible #hibernation metabolism. Potential apps to humans in states of N deprivation, inactivity, microgravity. Bigups @EdnaChiang @SadieGugel @13liner @suenlab https://t.co/REAm99f0Jn

Proud of MSc students @AlexandraKack & Remi Chauvette who gave speed presentations at the @raq_actu meeting in Quebec city today. Nice to have some in-person #fishsci conference time! @_aecbum @SblUdem @BiologieUdeM @MattDRegan

I loved this paper DECOLONIZE SCIENCE! READ IT!!
"European ecologists benefited from colonial access to land for expeditions and establishment of field stations that helped, and continue to help, form foundational theories in ecology and evolution" 🌿🌿🌐 https://t.co/m3Yt0Ivcdl

Ramadan is in a week 🕌
A super simple thread for anyone who wants to learn more about it and support their Muslim friends/colleagues who are fasting ⬇️

[Martin A. Nuñez @Martin_A_Nunez]

Science is not only done in English!

If you are doing a review it may be really important if you can read and incorporate literature in other languages

Our letter with @tatsuya_amano is just out:)

It has some tips for doing that

[Martin A. Nuñez @Martin_A_Nunez]

Authors from 7 countries lead 70% of the papers
Acceptance rates change too much between regions
Data from deep analyses of @JAppliedEcology, but all ecology seems to be that way

We need to work together to change this

The world needs it
