To celebrate International Compost Week: The IC&I Guelph-Wellington collective created 65 tonnes of compost at All Treat Farms in Arthur, ON! Composted food waste improves soil health, reduces greenhouse gases.

Does your diet suffer as a PhD student?

Can you afford to eat healthy food?

Do you have the time to prepare meals?

I have written a poem -

I am a grad student
Researching how to stop the world from burning.
A half tank of gas&a bag of cat food
Costs almost a quarter of my monthly salary.
Please.

Enjoyable read on the concept of "ungrading" (mostly grade-less approach to #HigherEd learning). Noted in the article, it takes time to refine the system but allows more inclusion of differing education/social backgrounds. Thoughts on this? https://t.co/pgyP2BQ1Sc

Ever wondered why some animal sectors think a bit of pain is acceptable, but others find it abhorrent? 🤔

That & other puzzles will be discussed on Feb 7th at 11:30am EST, at this intriguing panel organized by our Student Chapter!

It’s frankly ridiculous that we can’t find one species of moss that will live on my head and eat anxiety/depression. Stylish, functional symbiosis. Have we really looked everywhere?

Great guidelines for new (and old) puppy socialization! Especially during pandemic lockdown times.
