Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza virus #HPAI has caused the deaths of MANY wild birds across the globe in recent years. It's finally made it's way to the #Antarctic region. We knew it would, but still. Devastated.

There are VERY few water diversions in the #greatlakes basin. And this proposed one is linked to #bill23 aiming at developing the green belt. Thanks @TheAgenda for this debate with my colleague @gailkrantzberg .

Because of low funding, many young scientists are now making less than minimum wage, which means they either have to live in poverty, quit practicing science, or leave Canada.

The Support our Science movement is calling for a change.
