You'd be in-seine not to share this with your Vallentyne...

It’s that time of year again! @IISD_ELA is hiring summer research assistants galore! Here’s your opportunity to come work at a beautiful place with great people. Bonus: you get to hang out with Pippa on the dock of Lake 240! https://t.co/D8uhmmuPH3

[David Driedger @David_Driedger]

Shoot. That’s actually kind of nice.

Feeling very mubbly-fubbly (mubble-fubbly?) about the Covid numbers these days. Ugh.

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of the day is ‘mubble-fubbles’ (16th century): a sense of despondency and low spirits, as might set in on the eve of something unpleasant.

NEWS: When we reduce how much mercury pollution enters a lake, we reduce how much mercury ends up in the fish on your plate.

Quicker than we thought.

That's according to over 15 years of research at yours truly.

The same doctors you’re trusting to treat you AFTER you get COVID, are telling you to get vaccinated BEFORE you get COVID. Read that again.

Climate change is a hoax perpetrated by the world’s oceans, ecosystems and atmosphere.

[IISD Experimental Lakes Area @IISD_ELA]

This is massive! Science.

@JELittlefair's very first article in @massivesci explains why using #eDNA to track animals in a lake can make life much easier.

We just have to watch out for lake stratification and turn-over... https://t.co/UHRTAfovgd

[Cyndy Desjardins @CanuckLimnoGal]

I’ll never not post this when I see it. #ecologyisawesome #itsnoteasybeinggreen

[IISD Experimental Lakes Area @IISD_ELA]

International science headlines can only come together thanks to local efforts on the ground.

And when it comes to monitoring Canadian lakes, we still have plenty of work to do.
