Pls retweet! @SusansScience is leading an analysis of species at risk legislation in provinces/territories. If anyone is an expert in subnational SAR legislation, in prairies and territories in particular, we'd love to chat.

@jamesepaterson @ConservationSP This will be such an important tool for impact assessment in Manitoba!

@ellycknight @NSERC_CRSNG I also turned down a PGS D in 2021 as we were starting our family and my term position with Canadian Wildlife Service paid 4x as much with no tuition. Thankfully I'm now permanent with CWS, but I wonder how my career will be different without a PhD...

Waited 15 minutes on a weekday morning on Pembina hwy without seeing a single bus go by. People won't use buses that aren't reliable and convenient. How will you fix this @ScottGillingham? #lateforthedentist

@CBCManitoba please reconsider including underrepresented voices in the upcoming Winnipeg mayoral debate.

Running the @RainbowLors account and building a #QueerOrnithology space, I've been a little surprised by the trolling/pushback I've received just in the last few days, lots of "why does sexuality matter, just enjoy birds!"

Being queer does matter and a space is vital! A thread:

@jamesepaterson Nice one!

[Paulson Des Brisay @pdesbrisay]

@janetngbio Good god. That is so frustrating. Everyone is so forgiving of my poor spelling! Even when I think I have identified all my privilege, here pops up another one. Thanks for sharing!

Great study! Gender bias is complex. Let's address it in every way we can!

[University of Florida News @UFNews]

Students in an online class were told they had one of these 2 TAs. But behind the scenes, @EmilyKhazan, left, fulfilled TA duties for all 136 students. When student evaluations came in, though, guess which TA scored higher? #WomeninScience #womeninstem https://t.co/3zje5Fiq89

Bombarded with emails and calls about the conservation risk that the #ModerateLivelihood fishery poses. Spoiler: it doesn’t. I wrote this to shed some light on my assessment. Please share widely https://t.co/siXNO2rYj3 @angelharksen @APTN @mgoogoo @Kukukwes

@km_bian @BirdsCanada @ConversationCA @AcadiaScience Great article! Concerning results. 😬

@jr4science "Super stud" could also be applied to the dude carrying that tortoise! Holy crap that must be heavy!

[Jared Wolfe @JaredDWolfe]

At risk of patting ourselves @enicurus @gleeholzer too hard on the back, I am really proud of this work. It solves a mystery: why are migratory warblers colorful? Hint, multi-step evolutionary pathways starting with migration & molt. Check out the preprint https://t.co/ybJaJcNRl3

@reydsmith Yikes! Good luck. Definitely try to use their responses to address each other, but that is totally ridiculous! Can't wait to see the paper!

[Paulson Des Brisay @pdesbrisay]

@PeterSoroye I know this isn't the point, but I would wager NSERCs are actually easier for white people to get... What with the layers of privilege and all!

Congrats man, you earned it!

[Paulson Des Brisay @pdesbrisay]

Food for thought. #BlackBirderWeek #birdwatching https://t.co/PtpzoZhJU0

@jamesepaterson Are you in Manitoba these days?

[Paulson Des Brisay @pdesbrisay]

@B1rdz_Lady @KRBurgio @VitekJirinec @JuliaShonfield @dlslager @rwherman1 I wish I could be there for it!!

[Paulson Des Brisay @pdesbrisay]

@B1rdz_Lady I'm all for an open review process where everyone is just nice to each other. We all know that not every paper is the right fit for every journal. It's possible to reject a paper while nicely helping the authors revise and resubmit somewhere else. 😊

@sophiacooke You could always come get some from North America if the situation gets any more dire!
