The fires across the West Coast are just the latest examples of the very real ways our changing climate is changing our communities. Protecting our planet is on the ballot. Vote like your life depends on it—because it does.

Overwinter ecology of #Chinook #salmon parr can guide winter habitat #conservation and #restoration

Two pops with divergent rearing and mvmt patterns both favor lentic habitats like beaver ponds as core winter areas

I have been out here spreading the good #bat word! And actually since we wrote this the number of bat species has gone up! We're sitting at around ~1400 right now @Russell_Arnot!

BATS ARE THE BEST AND CRITICAL FOR OUR PLANET'S HEALTHY FUNCTIONING *yells from rooftops*

A god damn rollercoaster 😂😂😂

[Mya Roberson, MSPH, PhD @MyaLRoberson]

For academics (especially White academics, but this goes for everyone) reading #BlackintheIvory and wondering how you can support Black students and academics here is a thread of things to consider a number which have been especially supportive of my own professional development

[Peter Soroye (he/him/Dr) @PeterSoroye]

"Oh you got NSERC! That's great man! I guess they must be easier for black people to get?"

Having someone casually say this to me after getting a PhD NSERC was crushing

"Come on you know I'm just joking" was the inevitable response when I called them on it

Great things on local adaptation and nucleotide diversity!! Take a read 🙌

[Russ Jasper @russ_jasper]

For anyone interested in local adaptation, nucleotide diversity or colourful ggplots:

Here is the culmination of my project detailing how local adaptation influences within-population nucleotide diversity and other such exciting metrics of variation!

@UCalgary why has there been no email outreach to students showing a message of support and solidarity? There have been multiple emails pertaining to COVID-19 and and nothing to students about the anti-racism crisis. How are you standing with students of racial minorities?

[U Calgary @UCalgary]

The University of Calgary denounces anti-black racism and racism in all forms. We are committed to creating an environment where all are valued and included – on campus and in society as a whole. If you need support, please reach out. We stand with you in these difficult times.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Horrifying. You start with the tiny possibility that two officers may be walking over to deescalate the abusive one.

Instead, they join in beating a man trying to get out of traffic.

This isn’t a problem of bad apples or incidents. This is an institutional and systemic crisis.

[Salmon Network @salmon_net]

Parentage-based tagging analysis provides novel info on migration and life history patterns of #coho #salmon, which could help resource managers conserve salmon #biodiversity

I have never related so much with a tweet. The number of windows I have open has reached the top of my laptop screen. Send help.

[Sanjee Baksh @S__Baksh]

grad school is just having 219 tabs open with papers you want to read, closing them without reading them because your computer is being slow and then starting all over

[Brenna Stanford @sendysnail]

.@DanielleClake and I did a thing! Check out our new paper where we use pathway analyses to further analyze a microarray dataset, elucidating new results and discussing limitations of such methods. https://t.co/OvEaEsP3mN

I'm super excited to see this article on #eDNA in the New York Times : https://t.co/G8G1BSohvo

AND: I'm ridiculously chuffed they mentioned my 2019 review! @TimesScience @JennSunday

Fenn, my nearly 4 year old daughter, recorded her first ever solo song today. She came up with all the words herself and I helped her a little bit with the tune. It’s called ‘Dinosaurs in Love’. 🦕❤️🦕

You’re not seeing what you think you’re seeing...just FYI.

EVOLUTION IS NUTS.

That is the tip of the viper’s tail. It’s the lure of the Iranian spider-tailed viper!!!

[Jessy Bokvist @Salmomics]

And that's a wrap. Very priviledged and excited to have discussed alternative rearing strategies for salmon hatcheries at the #nwfcc2019! Thank you @Go_Fish_BC for bringing together fish culturists from across Canada and the USA #pacificsalmon #fishculture #Genomics

[Bamfield MSC @BamfieldMSC]

What are the implications of using #eDNA in the environment for studying #biodiversity?
