A sneak peek of our winter campaign in the beautiful Canadian Arctic ❄️💧

[Niko McCarty. @NikoMcCarty]

This is really a stunning paper.

Cyanobacteria exposed to shorter days (in the lab) "rewire" their membrane lipids to anticipate cold weather.

When those cells are plunged into cold water, they have "two or three-times higher survival" than cells exposed to longer days.

[Martin Girardin @GirardinMartin]

New paper published in @NatureComms The 2023 fire season in Canada is a wake-up call: severe climate impacts on fire activity are arriving decades earlier than predicted. Building fire-resilient environments is now more critical than ever! @NRCan @CEF_CFR https://t.co/xTtVQltyay

@BernosThais @UVM_RSENR Congratulations again! @UVM_RSENR is lucky to have you. I look forward to seeing how the Bernos lab will evolve over the years to come!
p.s. nice boat ;)

Our new paper led by @kevcrose makes the case that aquatic deoxygenation has sufficient implications for the Earth system that it warrants inclusion in the planetary boundaries framework. https://t.co/pzLcQZj64m

Excellent review/synthesis... worth checking out.

"Walkouts, petitions & tweets: how a grass-roots movement led by students, postdocs and tenured academics changed gov. policy on science funding."
Better pay for those funded by our tri-agency council. Definitely a *BIG* win. But still inequalities & short-term vision for most.

[Support Our Science @SupportOurSci]

New article in @Nature by SOS Executive Director Kaitlin Kharas on how Canada boosted PhD and postdoc pay!

"The collective voices of graduate students and postdoctoral scholars are too powerful to be ignored."

Pour l’🩵 des lacs, nous souhaitons vous rappeler d’adopter de bonnes pratiques de nettoyage 🚿 des embarcations ⛵️🚤🚣⛴️et ainsi limiter 🛑 la propagation des espèces aquatiques envahissantes (EAE).

@zzeynepersoy Support vibes sent your way

[Marie-Pier Hébert @MP_Heb]

It shouldn't have come to this but good to see alternatives for Can students coming to QC-hopefully more solutions will arise, esp for internat stds. Thx @mcgillu for sending the msg that stds are *welcome* here. Awards (80% eligibility) offset '24 tuition increases to '23 levels

Please join us in congratulating Dr Vera Huszar! 🏅

There is a ton of misinformation in my replies so here is a primer on permafrost carbon. Permafrost stores a HUGE amount of carbon because ancient life took up CO2, built biomass, then died. That organic matter (~50% C) slowly accrued in Earth's best freezer for 1000s of yrs. 1/

🐟Traditional Inuit fishing sites are linked to Arctic char habitat use. A fantastic collaboration with fishers allowed to characterize winter habitats.

@Becky2face @aquacosm @dvm_uvm @AKWALisette @SvenAKWA Congratulations on your first presentation at an international conference 😊 It was such a great venue for your work

"Women feel driven out by problems with toxic workplace culture more often than by lack of work–life balance."

[Amy Diehl, Ph.D. @amydiehl]

Study (N=7,195) finds compared to men, women have 44% higher odds of being pushed out of academia due to workplace atmosphere than pulled to a better opportunity elsewhere. Even after receiving tenure, women were still at increased risk of leaving.
