Nice illustration of the insurance potential of functional diversity by @RegisCereghino Srivastava Lab and collegues from the #CESAB FRB FunctionalWebs Working Group. 👏 ▶️ besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Ecologists: Was your study species impacted by the 2021 Heat Dome? Want to work on a synthetic paper together? I'm in a #2021HeatDome working group this week led by Srivastava Lab & we are seeking additional case studies. Get in touch if you'd like to collaborate! Please retweet.

On the anniversary of last year’s heat dome in Western Canada, researchers in a CIEE - ⁦UBCBiodiversity⁩ working group reflect on ecological impacts: bc.ctvnews.ca/easily-billion…

Ever wonder how best to rescue environmental data? Here we share insights from CIEE-ICEE’s Living Data Project:

Going to #CSEE2022 / #ESA2022 in Montreal and want to learn more about the practical side of data rescue? There’s still time to register for our short course! cdmcd.co/j9DBvK Join LDP postdocs @GracielleHigino, Mike Lavender and I for this fun, hands-on session!

Isn’t it time we stopped referring to postdocs as postdoctoral “fellows”. The word fellow has multiple meanings but because one commonly understood meaning is “man”, it cannot be considered a gender neutral term. I suggest “postdoctoral researcher” instead. Fin.

Calling all (Canadian) data custodians! Do you have eco/evo data with a broad temporal or geographic extent? Is your data of high cultural or societal value? Is your data at risk of extinction, e.g. you’re retiring soon? The Living Data Project can help! (1/4)

Love data, open science, and working groups?? Join the CIEE-ICEE’s Living Data Project as our UBC based postdoc. Apply now as open deadline until position filled postdocs.ubc.ca/ad/56801

👇Animal Functional Traits SF👇 🌷By comparing aquatic fauna in bromeliads from 26 different Neotropical sites, Srivastava Lab's study showed that biogeography and climate structure the way animal community traits change over environmental gradients 📙ow.ly/Sz4O50MnuHo

Does it not seem extraordinary that someone appointed to point out systematic racism could possibly be criticized for previously pointing out systemic racism?

International Day of Women in Science! I’m so thrilled that I’ll be presenting my #PhD work at my exit seminar in 5 days! #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM #DisabledInSTEM #IAmABotanist #RollingInStyle

Anyone able to offer an online Java course, in English, free to a Ukrainian refugee? Yulia was a hydrologist in Ukraine until she had to flee. She is now cleaning houses to get by as she tries to teach herself Java, but needs a proper course. Please RT.

Excited to see my painting of a #Dickcissel sitting in a hazelnut bush made it on the cover of Ecography! Read more about our study of perennial polyculture farms that inspired the painting here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… Maayan Kreitzman Srivastava Lab Kai Chan

Goodbye Twitter. You were a good friend over the pandemic, but then it all went south a couple years ago. And now, well I hardly have words for it. I’ve got a new life over at srivastavalab.bsky.social This post will self destruct in one week.
