So proud of Coreen and Al Lewis, for their work and this beautiful description of it!

We are going ahead with this new postdoc position on biodiversity science - please spread the word to biodiversity folks! It's a Hakai Institute Postdoctoral Fellowship based in our lab to study biodiversity change across levels of biological organization: oconnorlab.weebly.com/opportunities.…

Are you looking for a postdoctoral position studying kelp resilience to changing conditions across the British Columbia coast? Based on Vancouver Island at the University of Victoria. Contact Professor Maycira Costa. uvic.ca/socialsciences… #postdocjobs #kelp

So proud of this talk by our own Jane (Evgeniya) Yangel! An outstanding talk based on her Master’s research - an experimental test of the spatial insurance hypothesis for microbes in a warming environment. Part of an excellent collaboration w/ Joey Bernhardt @thompson_pl & Laura Parfrey

If Joe Biden & Kamala Harris are serious about #science they will nominate a stellar (and diverse) Science Team -- soon. Barack Obama nominated his team in mid Dec 2008 (as depicted by The Economist )

So very exciting to see this paper in PNASNews @brenucsb . A global network of marine protected areas for food pnas.org/content/117/45…

We have an open position for a research technician to help with experiments & general lab operations. If you are motivated to participate in research on temperature and biodiversity in aquatic systems, please check it out! (~20 hours / week) oconnorlab.weebly.com/opportunities

Congrats to my fellow Pew 2021 marine fellows! I'm honored to be a part of a group of 9 researchers selected this year to join Pew’s community of global experts working to sustain healthy oceans for future generations. #PewMarineFellow pew.org/3lQ7pla

Welcome to two new PHD students - Calla Raymond and maggie slein (she/her)! We're very happy to have you! UBCBiodiversity UBC Zoology

New paper frm a great collaboration: Grand challenges in biodiversity–ecosystem functioning research in the era of science–policy platforms require explicit consideration of feedbacks ِ UBCBiodiversity Andy Gonzalez Laura Dee @lauradee.bsky.social AkiraSMori US LTER royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

A year of heatwaves, flooding & wildfires is making it clear that humanity is interconnected to natural systems. New work from #UBC’s Dr. Mary O'Connor & colleagues calls for more explicitly incorporating feedbacks into #biodiversity research & policies bit.ly/3FMXG8I

We are so proud of Dr. Emily Adamczyk! She is delivering a beautiful exit seminar right now for UBCBiodiversity BLISS. Three chapters of multisite, multiyear subtidal field surveys and an experiment to understand seagrass associated biodiversity in BC. Congrats Emily!!
