It's been such a great experience working with everyone on this initiative!

New recycling program sees big uptake in first year of pilot at Foothills campus, as #UCalgary students divert 2,000-plus pounds of lab Styrofoam from landfill https://t.co/EBEFVNV4g1

[Rachel Reed @RRachel_Reed]

Late to the party, but really enjoyed showing some high school students what the @SI_Horses project is all about at @UCalgary Discovery Days. Maybe the next generation of @jocelynpoissant lab members??Next stop, Leadership Forum with @TheGradCollege

[UCalgary GSA @GSACalgary]

The Styrofoam Recycling Project is recruiting students to lead the program! Be part of the team to increase accessibility to Styrofoam recycling stations, learn to manage a sustainability-focused project, and develop communication and outreach skills. Learn more in the graphics!

Yesterday, I had the chance to share about the amazing research we do for @SI_Horses during Discovery Day in Health Sciences. What an amazing experience it was to teach high school students about #parasites and #horses! @HPI_network

[Micky (Sangwook) Ahn @Micky_Ahn]

@isla_botting Made an AMAZING video chronicling the start to the 2022 @SI_Horses Field Season. Give it a watch to get a glimpse into the struggles of getting to #SableIsland. Spoiler alert: we get delayed getting on the island 🙃

My last evening on #SableIsland conducting #fieldwork for @SI_Horses ended with a beautiful #sunset painting the sky pink. It's been a blast!

[Sable Island Horse Project @SI_Horses]

A #SableIsland #sunrise to finish off the 2022 field season! Our crew will be leaving the island soon, with another year's worth of samples and #data to add to the long-term #horse study!

[Sable Island Horse Project @SI_Horses]

We get to see some very cute #horses while conducting surveys! This #foal kept bothering his sister for attention.

[Micky (Sangwook) Ahn @Micky_Ahn]

Rainy days means #baking cookies for the @SI_Horses crew! Snacks to take during #fieldwork surveying #horses on #SableIsland.

Peanut butter cookies! What a luxury it is to have access to baking ingredients and facilities in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean!

[Sable Island Horse Project @SI_Horses]

We may focus our #fieldwork on #horses, but there's so much #biodiversity on #SableIsland that deserve recognition. This thread is dedicated to the non-horses of Sable Island! (1/8)

[Sable Island Horse Project @SI_Horses]

She may not look it, but Constellation is one of the oldest #horses on #SableIsland!

She has unique facial markings and a swayback that makes her easily identifiable.

[Micky (Sangwook) Ahn @Micky_Ahn]

Only a few people get to see the #sunset on #SableIsland. The colours were extra dramatic last night! The perks of #fieldwork!

[Sable Island Horse Project @SI_Horses]

A team photo before some crew members leave the island!

After weeks of #hiking and collecting data, Anastasiia, @Chlo3_Cook, and @IhncheolJ left #SableIsland yesterday! @isla_botting, @Micky_Ahn, and @RRachel_Reed get to wrap up the next half of the season!

@KutzLab @SI_Horses Harvesting stronglye L3s! Am I correct in assuming that's your set up is a form of Baermann technique?

[Micky (Sangwook) Ahn @Micky_Ahn]

Harvesting #parasite larvae for @SI_Horses. Flipping glass cups full of poop and water! Such a unexpected, simple, but elegant technique. Look at all the worms swimming out! #sciencepoop #research #fieldwork
