Field biologists: What is one of the most important everyday items (something you can buy from Walmart or home depot) that you use in your field work?

Wow that's a lot of #freshwater! Happy #WorldWaterDay - a good reminder to keep our water resources healthy. Do you do #fieldwork studying the vast water networks in Canada? Think about sharing your story on our Dispatches from the field blog!

Did you know there are an estimated two million lakes in Canada? That’s more than any other country in the world! Check out more fascinating facts about Canada’s fresh water for #WorldWaterDay: https://t.co/P4n7POfvja 💦

Now that migrants are returning, you may be seeing more birds in your yard or neighbourhood. If you’d like to know what species you’re seeing but aren’t sure where to start, join the Newfoundland Breeding Bird Atlas for a beginner bird identification workshop to learn the basics!

I started wearing boxers in the field because out of fear of something like this or just the general lack of privacy + male dominated field crews

It costs more to buy "women's" field gear!! Why!? #fieldwork #WomenInScience

[Anjali Fernandes @climbing_ripple]

How much MORE would your field kit cost if you purchase women's gear? @variolax found that you would be paying 43 - 135 USD more, and possibly as much as 172 USD more. 😡
