🧵The Arlington Bridge is indefinitely closed, effective immediately. All travelers must detour across the rail yards via either McPhillips or Salter. Please plan ahead and try to detour off Arlington early to avoid bottlenecks at Logan and Dufferin. 1/

Glad to have been apart of such awesome groups with such great advisors @kenmjeffries and @vince_palace! Thanks for the support and congratulations everyone! Sad to leave, happy to be done! 🐟☀️🫧

HUGE congrats to @sonyamich3 for successfully defending her MSc yesterday! Co-supervised by @vince_palace. Effects of oil spills on freshwater organisms, work done at @IISD_ELA! Sad to see her leave but excited to watch Sonya succeed in her job with the federal govt!

Russian terrorists. The destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant dam only confirms for the whole world that they must be expelled from every corner of Ukrainian land. Not a single meter should be left to them, because they use every meter for terror. It’s only Ukraine's victory that will return security. And this victory will come. The terrorists will not be able to stop Ukraine with water, missiles or anything else.

All services are working. I have convened the National Security and Defense Council. Please spread official and verified information only.

Living in the EU doesn’t make Russian war mongers be peace loving, civilized or democratic. It only gives them opportunities to direct their aggression on Ukrainians away from the frontline or their miserable state, and to enjoy privileges of life in countries they hate

BREAKING: Jon Stewart just completely destroyed Republican State Senator Nathan Dahm of Oklahoma on gun reform in America. Each and every point that Dahm tried to address was completely debunked by Stewart. Stewart made Dahm look as foolish as he and his republican colleagues really are.

My favorite quote was: “In every other place your life you want to bring order, but guns are the outlier for you.”

Let all your republican friends see this video! https://t.co/qOlU187LHx

Food for thought:

In 10 years, Finland built 4,000 homes for homeless people and cut homelessness in half, with a goal to end it by 2027.

The cost of adding a 3km lane to each side of this Winnipeg road could build 3,000 homes. There are 1,200 homeless people in Winnipeg.

New review paper out! Many freshwater fish need conservation help, and movement research can be important for supporting that help. But can we conduct integrative movement research with non-lethal sampling? 1/6

⚡️Ukrainian artists, Zelensky address audience at the Grammys.

President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the audience in a pre-recorded video, wherein he said:“We are fighting Russia, which brings horrible silence with its bombs. The dead silence. Fill the silence with your music.”

If you need a 1st, 2nd or Booster of Pfizer, please consider going to Co-op Grant Park. They have LOTS of Pfizer that is going to expire October 19. Please RT far and wide. It would be a shame for these vaccines go to waste.

qPCR friends- help needed!

Have you ever seen melt curves with almost two inverse peaks? Something new I've come across and haven't found many resources... Thanks in advance!

[Sonya Michaleski @sonyamich3]

Check it out! Our new paper looking at non-lethal fish samples for transcriptomics is out!

[Ken Jeffries @kenmjeffries]

Our new paper discussing the benefits of non-lethally sampling tissues for transcriptomics work on fishes is now out in @CompBiochPhys! An important strategy for linking transcriptomic responses with fitness level consequences, especially in wild fishes. https://t.co/HUUaidiQph
