Well, they finally managed to fully rip it. The day before the nation-wide anti-2SLGBTQIA+ protests. Thanks Kitchener. 😮‍💨💔

Then ---> now 2017, 3rd yr undergrad, the summer that started it all w/ @Kenzco4 in AB & NWT. 2023, 3rd yr PhD, the swamp project that just keeps growing w/ Dr Maria Strack in southern ON. & not done yet! Thankful for these two amazing women for taking a chance and believing in me.

Happy meow-loween from the bog cats, Black Spruce and Larch

Some #swamp science for a Friday morning! Check out our new preprint looking at carbon stocks and fluxes from a boreal conifer swamp essopenarchive.org/users/539430/a… Was fun to write this with @mar_davies Dr Maria Strack Emma Wegener Meg Schmidt 🏳️‍🌈 (they/she) Mike Peacock Sara Claussen #PeatTwitter

I have and believe that it's good to start talking about #menstruation and fieldwork without taboos. A very good initiative from Asociación Española de Ecología Terrestre (AEET) and Mujeres con los Pies en la Tierra. #11F
