Hey, weren't you a co-author on that? nature.com/articles/s4158… Yes, I was, but the Nature editors neutered the letter to the point that I felt I could no longer in good conscience put my name on it. The most egregious (and final straw for me) was the insistence to change 1/n

I started my PhD in 2006, getting a NSERC / CRSNG scholarship at the time was an increase in living quality. Nowadays not anymore, scholarships are below poverty line.

Larger scholarship👍but >90% of grad students don't have scholarships. Funding come from PI and uni, min stipend decided at Dept level so: 1. ↗️ grants 2. PIs pay your students more and have smaller labs 3. PIs fight for higher min stipend within uni NSERC / CRSNG Support Our Science

Nice project, really nice team (if I can say so myself) :)

If you have ever participated in a long-term individual-based study of a wild animal population, we want to hear from you! Please consider participating in (and then circulating) these surveys LTR participant survey: surveymonkey.ca/r/LTRdemograph… PI survey: surveymonkey.ca/r/LRT_PIs

Summer ☀️

Eternal debate Swarovski/Leica/Zeiss for binoculars and scopes. Owning stuff from each brands, they are all great, but today, I got my new eyeglasses with Zeiss optics and it is the first time I see well with glasses in over 20 years. Looking at the world with a new perspective

After the Titanic sub accident, I would be curious to compare the total cost of the rescue mission and speed of resource deployment to the total cost of migrants ship rescues world-wide in a year. Former is larger that the latter? Guess so and not even talking ratio per person

Friday afternoon moment: online search for R code tutorial to do something I can't remember. First link is my own tutorial 😅

Clear explanation, horrendous meme No more risks but facts in 2 and 3 ? Should be: 2: I have lower risk to get covid 3: I would have been at lower risk of getting covid This type of innacurate thinking lead to a lot of anti-mask reasoning (e.g. I wore a mask but still got covid)

A bright and shining example of the suicidal absurdity of technocapitalist society occurs every year at this time, all across the country. 1/n

Congratulations Shinichi Nakagawa | 中川震一 🥳 Give me even more arguments now to go visit Edmonton (Kimberley Mathot 😀)

👇Fantastic work by Elene HA (She/Elle) showing that chickadees differ in how much they invest in sampling to learn about the distribution of food resources, and chickadees that sample more have higher annual survival! With collaborators Julien Martin and Jan Wijmenga

Do you like fish, behaviour, and evolutionary genetics?Seeking a tech/RA to join our us University of Exeter CEC. 3yr post supporting a Natural Environment Research Council grant with @BonnieFraser8 and @erik_postma on convergent behavioural evolution in guppies.

Another example of failure to teach stats properly: manuscript: "statisiticaly significant results but with a negligible effect size" reviewer: describing an effect as 'significant but negligible,' raises concerns about the interpretation of their findings 😢😤😱

No notes.

Last couple of days to apply for this one with us. Applications for the postdoc on this same project shoudl go live about May (I just need to find time to do the HR paperwork !)

Tunes in soon! Some important modifications on my shared QuantGen webpage guide with Julien Martin. juliengamartin.github.io/wam_tuto/

Proud to be one them.

Most of Team Marmot 2024 at our first pot-luck this year. Training is well underway and we're doing well!
