Amazing talk by Victoria Marie Glynn on her coral research today for a CSBQ-QCBS and McGill Science speaker series in celebration of the new biodiversity plan. The talk featured her own art, love the bridge between art and science!

New study by Noémie Sheppard reveals how feeding efficiency of marbled crayfish is affected by temperature & reproductive state. Projected climate warming will reduce feeding rate and increase the frequency & duration of gravid states. Read the paper here: rdcu.be/dm6Eh

Excited to be announcing my first ever published paper 🥰 If you're interested in quantifying the reduction in feeding of gravid marbled crayfish as well as the impacts climate change may have on their reproduction read on!

I am going to say something that is going to sit badly with a lot of academics in US and European institutions, but I’m tenured and senior and I give zero fucks. I’ve read a lot of recent academic scholarship in English language journals that rehashes things Mexican and LatAm

The package contains 24 palettes that are colorblind friendly, and a mix of qualitative, diverging, and sequential palettes. The package also contains functionality for {ggplot2} to easily incorporate into your data visualizations.

Excited to share our new paper describing 4 new species of #Amolops from #Laos, #Vietnam, & #Thailand. A really cryptic group that required #tadpoles to delimit some species. Big thanks to multiple #museums for providing specimens & tissues! #FrogFriday vertebrate-zoology.arphahub.com/article/102475/

The stories of Black scientists are often overlooked & untold. Thus, #BlackInNHMs is proud to share the stories of 17 Black people, who contributed to natural history, with our FIRST exhibit! It was produced in partnership with Florida Museum. Stay tuned for more info below👇🏿

20 yrs ago, 3 profs (Ricciardi, Larsson, Hendry) were hired to conduct research & teaching at the Redpath Museum, Canada's oldest natural history museum. Our time in this venerable building has now ended, as renovations begin & we relocate to McGill Biology. Andrew Hendry Hans Larsson

Being a PhD student in McGill University 's Redpath Museum has been a pleasure. It is sad to see the end of an era but I am looking forward to what is in store for the Museum next 🏛️
