@tomerczaczkes @Bee_Bytes That’s one of my favourite graphical abstracts! I’m glad you enjoy it too :)

Made it to Ottawa to start my new job with @heathmacmillan and @Sue_Bertram and I saw my first melanistic grey squirrel

Thank you @NSERC_CRSNG for making me a Banting Postdoc Researcher! Also, thank you to my many mentors who helped make my application the best it could be! If you need me, I'll be fly birds in the wind tunnel @BirdsWesternU @westernuBio! 🐦

New pre-print is now up where we investigated locust gut epithelial permeability in vivo and ex vivo at low temperatures! This work is the product of part of Kaylen Brzezinski's MSc research, as well as mine. Big shoutout to a great group of people who were a part of this >>>

#UpdatesFromTheField @jrobichaud_ (https://t.co/L8102gxQVr @Carleton_U) worked on 2 projects during the 2021 field season at QUBS! In the spring, Jess collected Northern map turtles from Lake Opinicon and analyzed data from radio tags to understand this species' wintering habits.

Tagging @SeritaFudlosid who is on twitter after all!

[Heath MacMillan @heathmacmillan]

1. I’m excited to share this preprint! This work was led by Serita Fudlosid, a talented then-MSc and now-PhD student. The first product of a fruitful cricket collab between my lab and @jenni_pro! #microplastics #insects #PlasticPollution 🦗https://t.co/7oaVkSijZQ

[Heath MacMillan @heathmacmillan]

7. Lastly, it’s important to note that just because we don’t see big effects on survival/growth doesn’t mean insects are “immune” to plastic effects at lower doses. Plastic feeding may be influencing other traits we didn’t measure. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence!
