#WorldWetlandsDay is always a welcome reason to dig through old photos from my MSc in boreal Alberta while I reminisce about marsh trudges alongside @girls_can. Side note - Dr. Rooney makes a great follow for cool wetland science and advocacy.

Are you interested in aquaculture interactions and salmon conservation? We’re hiring a postdoc to work on Atlantic Salmon genetics and genomics!

[Dustin Raab @DustinRaab]

@kpagnucc Solidarity. No fewer than three times last week I ground coffee, ran coffee maker, poured clear, hot water from carafe into mug - grinds still sitting in the grinder.

“The creation of pools in the river, if the water stops flowing, can heat the water up to bath temperatures, which is great for hanging in the river, but deadly for any salmonid species.”

A timely reminder from @AlouetteRiverMS! https://t.co/kqKxonZSQS

Can anyone tell me what kind of animal creates tiny leaf capsules, fills them with liquid, and burys them in soil? Found these while pulling weeds in my garden this morning.

Good thread on burnout. This certainly resonates for government science positions as well. Article in 3rd tweet.

Wowza! This @HarvardBiz piece on #burnout is not about #Academia but it certainly applies. Unsustainable workload, perceived lack of control, lack of fairness: check! The kicker though: mismatched values and skills! I’m an ECOLOGIST with 20 y training. But my time is spent 1/2

@rgaspardy @JasonBarnucz @opwall Apex predator of the Thames watershed. And now it has a taste for humans.

@girls_can I feel this. Though capybara should be on fire for accuracy.

@dom_roche So different car. Parallel evolution in endemic species assemblage though.

Thread seeking community input on NS watershed use, part of a broad multi-stakeholder conservation initiative

[Dustin Raab @DustinRaab]

@Sunci_A @kpagnucc It’s been a stark contrast seeing how ingrained the safety culture is at DFO. I’ve been retroactively examining some of the fieldwork I led in the past - and what I would do differently. Never had a true emergency but not certain I would’ve had the tools and prep to manage one.

.@SteveHa58322268 ’s post reminds me of pics I’ve seen of fallouts on boats. Check out these amazing pics from a 2016 fallout on tiny Machias Island (close enough, right?). (If you see something more amazing than this today, I insist you send it to me.) https://t.co/o4ykmCrvXS

@DrPlanktonguy @SJC_fishy Here in NS the decision to close the Rec fishery for the start of the season has been - at least partially - framed as a way to take pressure off emergency services. Early season cold water boating, ppl accessing remote loc’s, etc

@o_e_barker We found 2 bananas in a backpack from like a week and a half ago and I felt the purest joy of discovery
