So very proud of our paper that was published in @JCanAssnGastro this month, discussing the barriers to professional and gender equality that #womeninGI face! #GITwitter @gijonesns @novakkerri @yleungibd @Prof_Rohatinsky

New paper quantifying biases in #CitizenScience data. We compared bird observations in @inaturalist and @Team_eBird and found that large-bodied birds were over-represented in unstructured iNat data compared with semistructured eBird data. https://t.co/ufRyH09Ktp

@KristenNoel97 It was an awesome presentation! The zoom bomb allowed for some punny invasive species jokes 😂 Grear job!

Over the yrs, I have reviewed 800 - 1000+ applications for wildlife field technician positions. I have some thoughts!

Yesterday we lost one of our best. Dr. Ian McLaren brought his passion for nature, birds, research, writing, fieldwork, mentorship, conservation, and more to our NS shores many decades ago. His #NSBS involvement as president, director, editor & more, was beyond valuable.

Congratulations @EricaNol!!!
I’ve have the privilege of working in Dr. Nol’s lab and I couldn’t have asked for a better supervisor, mentor, and friend! https://t.co/ZsPO5XfwnB

An incredible loss in today's Portapique shootings. RCMP Cst. Heidi Stevenson, a 23-year veteran of the force. A true hero. Thank you.

Great News: we’re expecting! We have a Piping Plover nest on our beach with 4 eggs, so thrilled for Mom X2 and Dad U3. See them? @BirdsCanada it’s so exciting!
keep dogs on leashes and stay out of protected areas.

How terrible is it to see established people who are jealous of - and thus try to squash - the success of people earlier in their careers.

Hard truth: we all risk being that person. How to prevent it? Be intentional about championing the people who will someday replace you.

Interspecies crown shyness is just as mysterious as it is gorgeous. Decades after it was first considered, botanists still don't fully understand why adjacent tree stands don't interdigitate. Is it light sensing? Mechanical abrasion? Chemical signaling? All of the above?
