Social media and smartphones hack our brains, manipulating our emotional states. It is crucial to find time to disconnect and protect our minds.

"For thousands of years, people all over the world believed that women were inferior to men and could never be priests, teachers, or rulers. It took a lot of people all over the world doing a lot of brave things to change the story of women. One of them is Malala Yousafzai, who was born in 1997 in the town of Mingora, Pakistan."

This excerpt from my children's book 'Unstoppable Us: Why the World Isn't Fair' attempts to condense thousands of years of painful history and to celebrate the revolution that gave women a choice/voice – in a way that's digestible for middle-grade readers. Let's hope that in the future, equal opportunities will prevail and this text will read like science fiction. Happy International Women's Day.

Congratulations Narges Mohammadi for your courageous and tireless fight for women's rights. You are an example to all of us on how we can work to make the world a better place.
Currently in Canada some nonsense is circulating that wildfires and climate change are not related. Many research efforts show that we are seeing more fires as we warm due to anthropogenic climate change including one study just published in PNAS.
Many years put into this collaborative work - Mortality driven by eastern spruce budworm defoliation likely enhances area burned #ClimateChange

Paper published!! This one took us on a long journey 😉 I remember when Paul Moorcroft and I started discussing this work in 2015, and writing a first draft 6 years ago. Now it is finally published in JGR-Biogeosciences and still up to date: https://t.co/SzmtyFxFhR

🤔So just how common are multiple disturbances in Canada's forests? And what impact do these multiple disturbances have on post-disturbance #forest regrowth? Insights from a national assessment:

After stand-replacing disturbances, eastern North American boreal forests should regrow faster and taller with increasing temperature. Check our new results obtained by combining airborne #LiDAR and time-since-disturbance data. https://t.co/xl9XDFczBH

Very glad our Indigenous Learning Centre could be a good place for Elders, grandmothers, & @NRCan@RNCan staff to gather for this #renaming ceremony. We are grateful to our Elder-in-Residence, Heather Poitras, who helped us all connect & bring the ceremony here. #reconciliation
