If you spot witches cauldron in northern BC take note because you could help contribute to some groundbreaking research on this weird fungus #cityofpg https://t.co/D9OLCWlujn

The novel coronavirus is forcing scientific conferences to be canceled around the world. Scientists are looking for new ways to connect and network without them, something some say is long overdue. #COVID19 https://t.co/4u4L0qcqAY

Regreening in Sudbury resulted in storage of atmospheric carbon. Research was collaboration between @LaurentianU and @collegeboreal, @LivingwithLakes

New research: #treerestoration on industrially damaged landscape in #Sudbury sequesters #carbon similar to plantations. Reforestation of degreaded land across the world should be part of an effective carbon capture strategy to migitate #ClimateChange.

Despite soil's crucial ecological role, we know little about how these #ecosystems react to more than two environmental factors at a time. A new Science study adopted and tested a design that uses a pool of up to ten global change factors. ($) https://t.co/tz1RNmd9Fj

No wonder people die in #Toronto. Four cars including @LeonsFurniture go through flashing crosswalk at Rosebank and Progress. Cars hardly ever stop here and it's getting really dangerous. @TorontoPolice please take note. @TorontoComms can we have a real traffic light?
