Job posting: DFO Maritimes biologist inventory. bit.ly/2Zt9I1e *while I only have salmon photos to illustrate this tweet... you could probably work with other nearly-as-cool species too

Dave Schindler and I wrote this piece about the need to work with #Indigenous partners to meet our #conservation targets and protect large, functional areas for #biodiversity edmontonjournal.com/opinion/column…

Check out our new paper! Survey of 150 worldwide experts on marine protected areas shows that non-native species should be a bigger priority for conservation: doi.org/10.1002/fee.21…

This is disappointing to read. You'd think we knew better by now. Happy to report no new barriers in Denmark have been built since 1987 but we still have a lot of work to do to bring our rivers back from the dead #letitflow #freshwatersneedlovetoo

Not a controlled study in our home with twins, but in case of a meta analysis I can confirm we’ve been exceeding the sanity threshold for 4.5 days now.

Good thread on burnout. This certainly resonates for government science positions as well. Article in 3rd tweet.

Can anyone tell me what kind of animal creates tiny leaf capsules, fills them with liquid, and burys them in soil? Found these while pulling weeds in my garden this morning.

“The creation of pools in the river, if the water stops flowing, can heat the water up to bath temperatures, which is great for hanging in the river, but deadly for any salmonid species.” A timely reminder from ARMS! mapleridgenews.com/community/movi…

Are you interested in aquaculture interactions and salmon conservation? We’re hiring a postdoc to work on Atlantic Salmon genetics and genomics!

#WorldWetlandsDay is always a welcome reason to dig through old photos from my MSc in boreal Alberta while I reminisce about marsh trudges alongside Dr. Rebecca Rooney. Side note - Dr. Rooney makes a great follow for cool wetland science and advocacy.
