We are so proud of @eadamczyk8! She is delivering a beautiful exit seminar right now for @UBCBiodiversity BLISS. Three chapters of multisite, multiyear subtidal field surveys and an experiment to understand seagrass associated biodiversity in BC. Congrats Emily!!

A year of heatwaves, flooding & wildfires is making it clear that humanity is interconnected to natural systems. New work from #UBC’s Dr. Mary O'Connor & colleagues calls for more explicitly incorporating feedbacks into #biodiversity research & policies https://t.co/JxQmibWlg9

New paper frm a great collaboration: Grand challenges in biodiversity–ecosystem functioning research in the era of science–policy platforms require explicit consideration of feedbacks @nceas @UBCBiodiversity @bio_diverse @LauraEllenDee @AkiraSMori @USLTER https://t.co/6OUgddgARx

Welcome to two new PHD students - @callarayy and @sleinma! We're very happy to have you! @UBCBiodiversity @ZoologyUBC

@UBCBiodiversity @ZoologyUBC Ever wondered if seagrass meadows support biodiversity and marine life just by being there? They probably need their neighbors! Animals move among meadows, but not all over the place - likely in regional neighborhoods! protecting a meadow can benefiit a region!

So excited to see this article out! A first step (more to come!) of John Cristiani’s thesis work to model connectivity of seagrass-associated animal communities that ‘Reveals Regional Patterns of Seagrass Habitat Connectivity' https://t.co/IX9JuJwgSL @UBCBiodiversity @ZoologyUBC

@SarahELester @JennMcHenry this looks great! Can’t wait to read this! @OConnorLab

Congrats to my fellow Pew 2021 marine fellows! I'm honored to be a part of a group of 9 researchers selected this year to join Pew’s community of global experts working to sustain healthy oceans for future generations. #PewMarineFellow https://t.co/duWCXqTrY8

Please RT and spread the word @ProjectSeagrass we're looking to get more evidence of the links between seagrass and #seabirds documented in https://t.co/WqnUlmN0FX

Seize the day, Canada! Let's make a big move on biodiversity observation now. @UBCBiodiversity @ZoologyUBC @bio_diverse @sarperotto

Harmonizing, co-ordinating scientific initiatives key to filling gaps in knowledge of Canada’s biodiversity @globeandmail https://t.co/2HzRgJhNQ9

@KieranCx @KyleDoesScience @Reynolds_JohnD @sea_en_emily @BamfieldMSC @giacomo_fish @OceanWise @eatkinso @fionatfrancis Yes!! i agree.

So very exciting to see this paper in @PNASNews @brenucsb . A global network of marine protected areas for food https://t.co/Dz4P4v5Ofv

If @JoeBiden & @KamalaHarris are serious about #science they will nominate a stellar (and diverse) Science Team -- soon. @BarackObama nominated his team in mid Dec 2008 (as depicted by @TheEconomist )

@awegalloway @mioconnor i love it!! wish i could see it in person, but just knowing you’re out there bringin the spirit makes my day! Thanks!

[OConnorLab @OConnorLab]

So proud of this talk by our own @EvgeniyaYangel! An outstanding talk based on her Master’s research - an experimental test of the spatial insurance hypothesis for microbes in a warming environment. Part of an excellent collaboration w/ @JoeyBernhardt @thompson_pl & Laura Parfrey

[Jane (Evgeniya) Yangel @EvgeniyaYangel]

This work focuses on bacteria and is a part of a bigger experiment led by @thompson_pl and @mioconnor testing Spatial Insurance Hypothesis for multitrophic aquatic metacommunties!
