Hi everyone, I'm a MSc student in the Kidd Lab and I'm studying whether a hungry little caterpillar called the spruce budworm affects mercury cycling in stream food webs.. #LaurentianPrarieResearch @LaurentianSETAC (1/)

[Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences @cjfas]

From poster to paper!

How does spruce budworm defoliation impact in-stream algal production and carbon use by food webs?

@scisally studied 12 streams in the Gaspé Peninsula to find out➡️https://t.co/hiBXe1y5QO

you can seine,

Many Canadians know about The Group Of Seven, but have you heard of the Indigenous Group of Seven?

Formally known as the Professional Native Indian Artists Incorporation, it was formed in 1973 with seven Indigenous artists to promote Indigenous art.

These are the artists

@HarveySidhu Lmao same, I organized my whole spice cabinet one afternoon during my thesis grind 😂

I've made some of my best meals "while working on my manuscript" 😅

I'm so glad I got to participate as an instructor for the FREED Toronto Zoo event!
I loved running my workshop on benthic macroinvertebrates and it was very meaningful to be a part an event geared towards BIPOC students

We hosted our first event of the year from May 12th-14th at @thetorontozoo and had an amazing time with numerous workshops!

On #BiodiversityDay, highlighting the importance of predators, like these dragonfly larvae, in controlling prey populations.

@KirkwoodLab @SJC_fishy @QUBioStation Glad you said it first, I couldn't see the nest (and I even tried viewing the photo with my polarized glasses on 😉)

Hey #IAGLR23 presenters! Can you please share your pronouns when you introduce yourselves at the start of your talk? Even if you think folks already know them, it helps normalize the practice for trans/gnc folks when we do so to avoid misgendering when our work is discussed.

@KirkwoodLab @alana_tedeschi I see some chironomids with their twitchy dance moves

[sally sorts stoneflies by the streamside @scisally]

@tephrafan Cool! I've always had a soft spot for glacial formations

Where are people finding clothes with fish on them??

I'm sharing some findings from MSc research at the #SCAS_SCSA2023 poster session tonight!

Come by if you want to chat about defoliation in the Gaspé peninsula, stream food webs, and mercury! 🐛🌲🐟🌊

[sally sorts stoneflies by the streamside @scisally]

@__jreid is doing an amazing job describing how supervisors have a huge impact on motivating (or discouraging) students + how aquatic sciences is changing from being unapproachable field to one that is more social and community-centric #SCAS_SCSA2023 @FishCASTCanada

[sally sorts stoneflies by the streamside @scisally]

Yes! Spread more love to the underrated stream critters

[BOKU_IHG @BOKU_IHG]

On Valentine‘s Day we want to spread our love for #freshwater #macroinvertebrates 💖 with this awesome cartoon by @sepponet in cooperation with @fishmigration @DamRemovalEU

[sally sorts stoneflies by the streamside @scisally]

Happy International day of women and girls in science! I love seeing diversity in natural sciences and aquatic ecology and hearing other researchers' ideas about promoting inclusivity in this field

[sally sorts stoneflies by the streamside @scisally]

@jonsweetman Great pic :) I always checked for these features (and the short antenna) to distinguish ameletus from baetids

[sally sorts stoneflies by the streamside @scisally]

@__jreid Sounds like some awesome accomplishments that should be celebrated 🥳🥳 btw - we should meet up at SCAS!
