Insect production & quarantine scientist Dr. Amanda Roe (@docaroe) is someone else to follow. Her research helps us understand the impact of #InvasiveSpecies like the spotted lanternfly, ultimately helping us protect Canada's forests.

Calling all naturalists! Help us learn about caterpillar swimming abilities! Send us videos of caterpillars in puddles.

🧵Nine years ago, central British Columbia was experiencing a major forest tent caterpillar outbreak. At the time my youngest son was four-years old. He spent a lot of his time outside among the caterpillars. One day @joyelmarie and I found him tossing caterpillars into a puddle.

Parents: remember as you cash your $250 childcare rebate cheque this May that you lost $1250 because @fordnation decided to delay the childcare deal until election season.

@phil_d_grayson @umanitoba @alielw @ColinGarroway @MargaretDocker My colleague is going to have a look at your workflow and may be in touch!

[Amanda Roe @docaroe]

We need to change the language around all of our public health measures. Why not call them protections instead of restrictions. Language matters and might help much of the conversation.

@EvolAppJournal @tyler_nelz @EcoNarratives Great work on a fascinating system!

@CMacQuar @Ibycter Was thinking the same thing...

Great example of collaborative work between @GLFC_CFS and @westernuBio

@AdamHartScience FWIW - @CanEntomologist has reduced OA fees for members and recent R&P agreements make OA free for member institutions!

[Amanda Roe @docaroe]

@docdez Oh no!!!

[Amanda Roe @docaroe]

@LaMontagneLab @AbigailCLeeper Also makes me wonder if #sprucebudworm in that part of the world like spruce more than fir

[Amanda Roe @docaroe]

Some "cool" science I was part of on the #emeraldashborer that shows that Winnipeg bugs a significantly more cold tolerant than their S. Ontario relatives. #invasive #winter
