@schuerc@sustainablesam_@ChelseaRochman@lisaerdle@AliceXiaZhu What are you into? I won't be in town unfortunately but if you want to dm me maybe I can suggest some things! My recommendations are a bit neighbourhood specific being somewhat new to Toronto but I probably have some things.
How hard is it to do science in a language thatโs not your first language? We quantified the severity of #languagebarriers for non-native English speakers when reading/publishing papers and attending/presenting at international conferences.

Earlier this week, Mira and @GCovernton from the @ChelseaRochman lab met up with the @ROMtoronto Summer Club to talk through #PlasticPollution, share a behind the scenes of research and discuss potential solutions. Such a fun day!! Thanks for having us!
Canada's science & innovation talent pipeline is a massive filter, removing those without external financial support. How many potential Nobel laureates have we excluded? How many who may have cured cancer? Pay emerging scientists a living wage @cafreeland. #SupportOurScience
I'm paid through a U of T fellowship , but @NSERC_CRSNG sets the standard. When I first moved to Toronto and lived on my own I was spending more than my income every month until I met my current partner and moved in with her. Canada needs to do better. #SupportOurScience
4 DAYS LEFT! ๐จ
Will you join us Monday to #SupportOurScience!
Awards for #GradStudents and #Postdocs have not increased in 20 YEARS, despite 50% inflation during this time!
It's time to change that. โฒ๏ธ

We are seeking instructors & co-instructors for field courses this summer.
Come teach in a hands-on learning environment, with a fleet of boats, flow-through seawater system, helpful support staff, & access to diverse coastal habitats.

I'm going to instruct some students next week on giving a good 12 min science talk-they'll be presenting on studies they've done over the last 4 weeks. Any essentials I should hit?
Few months ago I was contacted by @Nature and asked if I would write a commentary on #circulareconomy and #plasticpollution . I obviously agreed to this honor and wrote about the UN #plastictreaty on plastic and the pitfall of focussing solely on recycling https://t.co/gqUb8UWZyy
@Amanda_Manta@masants_oceano@aims_gov_au Oh no worries, hard to get everything. The approach was different anyway as I did blank subtraction but building in the contamination uncertainty in the process. I want to validate this and maybe do some simulation and your paper is an inspiration for my future plans! Thank you!
@BCarneyAlmroth @Imogennapper@darragh_d92 Nice one!! I'll need to dive in and give this a good read soon. I've been wondering lately about sorting out the effects of particle characteristics meta-analytically!
