agree with Robert Michael McKay here: “Microcystins might just be the tip of the iceberg when looking at the influence of cyanobacterial blooms on our Great Lakes,” theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

As an avid angler, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story. I avoid fishing anywhere near algae blooms. "What about the fish themselves who have no choice but to swim in these potentially very toxic baths?" said @renesahba.

Challenges facing graduate students and early career researchers are real. My partner finished his doctorate sleeping on his supervisor’s floor because he could not afford rent. I used my own personal funds to pay for my 1918 flu expedition. Time to invest in research.

Opinion: Why is Canada so miserly in funding academic research? theglobeandmail.com/business/comme…

In this The Globe and Mail Opinion, I make the case why the Federal government's stagnant approach to funding training, research and development is hurting our economy to the detriment of Canadians. Time to #SupportOurScience theglobeandmail.com/business/comme… . . . .

Seth Rudman, Katie Lotterhos, Steve Keller @KellerLabUVM, and myself Moi Expósito-Alonso (#MOILAB) are organizing a cool symposium: PREDICTING EVOLUTIONARY RESPONSES TO A CHANGING WORLD 🏔️☀️⛰️🧬 We welcome experimental as well as theoretical work and diverse model systems and taxa!

We're hoping to have a broad ranging discussion about the factors that influence predictability - including eco-evolutionary dynamics, population genetics, and landscape genomics.

This is an inescapable reality of any enterprise. Pretending it is not muddies the waters. Fortunately, practice, repetition, and coaching improve efficiency on almost everything from writing grant proposals to shooting free throws to making eggs.

Very good news in the 2024-2025 budget for the tri-agency scholarship. Congratulations Support Our Science for the hard work, we did it, one letter, one phone call, one walkout at the time! #SupportOurScience 🎉🥳

The funding in #Budget2024 was only possible due to the community surrounding us. We've scored a historic win for grad students & postdocs, ⬆️ financial aid, well-being & research focus. Thanks to everyone pushing for a brighter, inclusive future in research! #SOSBudget2024 🌟

#GradStudent scholarships and #Postdoc fellowships got a raise today for the first time in 21 years🙌 Immensely grateful to all those who have been pushing for this. It truly takes a village! Still processing and will have more thoughts soon! But overall this👇 is great news!

Excited to see what the next chapter holds for you! Congratulations!
