𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚: Former Eagles DB Malcolm Jenkins calls Jalen Hurts a HERO for not going to the White House to meet with President Donald Trump:
“He solidifies himself as a selfless leader, willing to risk comfort to honor his values. He strengthens his integrity & cultural capital in a way few athletes ever achieve.”
😳😳😳
With a PRESIDENT who:
-tried to have his VP killed
-tried to nullify Black votes in GA
-a jury found guilty of sexual assault
-called your fellow NFL players SOBs
-said Nazis/KKK were "fine people"
-botched a pandemic killing hundreds of thousands
..but, politics - amirite?
Big congratulations to @ICL_UBC lab member @Ethan__Porter for his successful poster presentation at @NACCB2024! Ethan’s work is showing that created marshes in the Fraser River Estuary may not perform as well as native references marshes. Stay tuned, more to come!
New paper out from our group (@CTELab ) by Dr. @RossWhippo quantifying the effects of the chemical cues of Pycnopodia on purple urchin grazing rates (starved vs fed) in @ESAEcosphere. Check it out! Thanks to @NSF, @nature_org, @MarineBiol_FHL for funding! https://t.co/Uvz81Bkx69
We are thrilled to announce that ten #UBCForestry faculty members received @NSERC_CRSNG Discovery Grants in the most recent competitions.👏
Congratulations to all of our recipients!

Imagine punting on back to back 4th and 2s when you have one of the worst defenses the city of Philadelphia has ever seen.
Imagine the throwing the ball on back to back 3rd and 2s when your QB has a messed up finger, your WR1 is out, you are averaging 4.7 yards per carry, and you have an automatic 4th and 1 play.
DYK: @uoregon's Oregon Institute of Marine Biology @UO_OIMB has been educating students and conducting research in the coastal town of Charleston since 1924.
Introducing the first graduate student in the ICL, @Ethan__Porter! Ethan is an MSc student @ubcforestry interested in conducting ethical and inclusive research within the Fraser Estuary. He comes to @UBC with a BSc in Marine Biology and a new puppy named Buckley. Welcome, Ethan!
At least 17 sevengill #sharks have been killed by infamous #killerwhale pair Port & Starboard this week in South Africa. Only the livers were eaten with the leftover carcasses washing ashore [1/3] 📸 @MarineDynamics Christine Wessels
Another important component is culture and traditional knowledge. While most restoration efforts often focus on applications rooted in Western science, increasingly we are finding that local community practices and knowledge systems improve conservation/restoration outcomes.
By taking a holistic approach to wetland restoration – one that integrates both ecology and culture – we are better able to generate outcomes that are successful, sustainable, and inclusive.
Happy #BlackHistoryMonth everyone! My name is Alex (she/they), and I am a queer, Black, non-binary faculty member at @UBC. I’m super excited to take over @ScienceWorld’s account today to talk about coastal wetland ecology and restoration.
The #Eagles are the only undefeated team in the NFL and they handed the only 1 loss team in the NFL their lone loss. But tell me again they haven’t played anyone.
