Liftoff!

The Half-Moon Pack had the largest litter of any pack this year with 8 pups. The largest litter we have ever documented was 9 pups so this was pretty close to the record! (1/4)

Super excited for my first first author paper out of the Sapna Sharma lab!!! We worked with lakes that have ice phenology data since the 1810s, for over 2 centuries!! We show breakpoints where the trend in ice loss becomes faster.

1/ Impressive data from Ontario demonstrating how #COVID19 vaccines reduce infection & keep people out of hospital/ICU. But there are >750,000 Ontarians aged 50+ who remain unvaccinated. They are at greatest risk for severe illness in the 4th wave. bit.ly/3yLzSNM

I can’t tell you how good it feels to say.. I’m joining Atlassian Williams Racing for 2022!! The most sincere thank you to Jost and everyone at Williams for trusting me with this opportunity and of course Oracle Red Bull Racing especially Christian and Dr. Marko for making this possible.

What a team 🧡 #ItalianGP 🇮🇹 McLaren

Above everything, today we are so grateful for the advances in safety of our sport

POLE!!! 🤩 Lando Norris sticks it on Pole for McLaren in Russia. What. A. Lap. 👏 See you at the front of the grid tomorrow, team. 🧡 #RussianGP

🏆🏆 in a 🤍 special livery? We tried that once 😉

Lakes are rapidly losing ice. In the last 107-204 yrs, ice duration was 17 days shorter per century. However, in the last 25 years, lakes are losing ice six times faster because of more ice-free years and extremely warm winters. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

“We found that lakes are losing on average 17 days of ice cover per century....may be approaching a tipping point to ice-free conditions which will have vast cultural & ecological implications,” says YorkU - Science Prof Sapna Sharma Sapna Sharma. bit.ly/3pzgmTH via CTV News

How good was Checo's defending against Lewis? 🤯 #AbuDhabiGP 🇦🇪 #F1

We (@riwoolway, @DRichardsonLab & I) discuss the rapid rates of lake ice loss and its impacts on warmer water temps, increased likelihood of blue-green algal blooms, less hockey & ice fishing, & higher chances of winter drowning in our latest article theconversation.com/our-lakes-are-…

Impacts of climate change & ecosystem degradation are experienced by communities around the world and exacerbated by underlying social inequities. Join us with a panel of inspiring leaders and researchers to discuss pathways forward. Register here: yorku.ca/cifal/water-da…

New paper with Drizzy inspired title… running through the 6 with my 🐝 :)… Bees in the six: Determinants of bumblebee habitat quality in urban landscapes onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

Congrats to Sapna Sharma @SharmaLab for receiving the Established Researcher Award! Her research program focuses on predicting the effects of environmental stressors, such as climate change, invasive species, and habitat alteration, on lakes. bit.ly/3DFiKNy | #YorkU

Can patient data improve hospital care? The physician-researchers behind GEMINI, Dr. Amol Verma & Fahad Razak set out to find the answer over 7 years ago. Now the largest network of its kind in Canada, we caught up with them to see how far they've come: bit.ly/3suWFNr

Long-term ice phenology records spanning up to 578 years for 78 lakes around the Northern Hemisphere nature.com/articles/s4159… Many of these time-series extend before the start of the Industrial Revolution.

We're excited to announce the winning team for the Odette Award for Health System Innovation! Congrats to Fahad Razak and Dr. Amol Verma. Their idea is to tap the power of #AI to prevent #delirium. Learn more at angelsden.ca. #AngelsDen
