Had a great time giving my talk at #ESACSEE today! Thanks to all for attended and provided great questions + feedback!

Congratulations soon to be Dr. Thompson (assuming the defence goes according to plan this coming Thursday as I'm certain it will: the dissertation is amazingly strong). Doing UAlbertaScience proud! More exciting research & conservation contributions to come.

How does the new name look folks? 😉

Thanks Andy! So fortunate to have been able to work with you over the last few years. It’s been a truly transformative and eye-opening experience. Excited for what’s next!

Looks very good Dr. Thompson!

We are thrilled to be welcoming our Liber Ero Fellow, Peter Thompson (Peter R. Thompson, Ph.D. (he/him) ) to SFU next year to conduct postdoctoral research on southern killer whales in the Salish Sea with Simon Fraser University SFU Faculty of Environment professor, Ruth Joy. Learn more about Peter’s research. ow.ly/oJLq50N8BYL

We will be walking out here UniversityOfVictoria! For those undergrads, grads, post-docs, faculty interested in joining and/or helping organise - we'll be having a meeting tomorrow, Tuesday April 25th @ 2:30 pm. DM me for deets.

The last time Canadian grad students got a raise (~20 yrs ago), I was still learning how to go down the slide and hiding in the pile of leaves in my backyard. The next generation of Canadian scientists must be paid above the poverty line! #SupportOurScience

I’ve just made it home from the Liber Ero Fellows retreat in Haida Gwaii. Seeing the natural and cultural beauty of the islands and the Haida people was a life-changing experience. It was also wonderful to make connections with all the fellows. See y’all soon!

In about an hour and 15 minutes, the walkout begins!

Great to hear from Laurel Schafer, member of the Bouchard report committee and FIRED UP for paying graduate students & postdocs a liveable wage! #SupportOurScience

#Budget2023 did not provide any funding increase for grad students and postdocs. Join me in sending the message that we care about graduate students and postdoctoral scholars by emailing your Member of Parliament #SupportOurScience nwmd.io/s/twitter/Zxc1…

In the most respectful way possible... I would like a word with the reviewers (and journal editor) who didn't bat an eye at the incredible lack of reputable evidence for the IBWO's existence. How has this manuscript been accepted? Am I missing something here?

I'd like to take this opportunity to pivot to an iconic US endemic we *KNOW* still exists and that is *GOING TO BE EXTINCT* in the next 30 years if we don't do something drastic, fast. The Saltmarsh Sparrow:
