My first thesis paper is finally out! 🥳 Learn how we’ve used #otoliths as chemical archives to look into migratory strategies of Atlantic halibut in the Gulf of St. Lawrence academic.oup.com/icesjms/articl… 🐟🦻🏻🦴

Join us at UWA Oceans Institute in beautiful Perth, Australia! Thomas Wernberg and I are looking for PhD students to study #kelp #forests and #climatechange. Applications due July 31! Both domestic and international students are encouraged to apply. Please share widely :)

The last 2 chapters of my dissertation are now out as preprints! Take a gander if you're interested in learning more about predator-prey dynamics between Arctic foxes and geese! Plus special appearances from polar bears, seals, and lemmings! 🦊🪿🐻‍❄️🦭🐁

Amazing work Mackie, Robert, Moe and anyone else who helped track and disentangle this whale! I don't think anyone outside of rescue ops truly understands just how difficult and dangerous this is and how often end in disappointment so thanks y'all for giving us a happy story!

Nothing like a paper acceptance on a Monday morning to really put a spring in your step! Some cool #SeaTurtle science that I am very proud of coming your way soon. #AcademicChatter #Academia

That's an all time pic with Jim (just missing the cheese block) 🤣 Congrats Dr. Johnson-Bice! Well deserved!

Can you imagine fishing for crab or lobster with a balloon, an air tank and a cell phone? 🦀🎈📱 CWF and fish harvesters have tested this method in the high tides and strong currents of the Maritimes, and it's proven effective—while also helping to protect whales and other

Congrats Quinn Carvey, ALAR - Atlantic laboratory for Avian Research & colleagues on their recent publication in Conservation Genetics! link.springer.com/article/10.100… #Puffins breeding on Machias Seal Island, NB are genetically distinct from Newfoundland & Québec 🐧🧬 UNB Research Graduate Studies #conservation #genetics

It was a very busy, but fun day welcoming all of our new graduate students to the program with our 2024 Biology Graduate Student Orientation! We also welcomed our new AND returning teaching assistants for our inaugural TA training program “TAing 101” run by Katy Hind #OnlyHere

Very excited to share that our new #SeaTurtle and #StableIsotope paper is now out #OA in the world Ecology and Evolution! Would not have been possible without such a great team of collaborators Eizaguirre Lab QM_SBBS and Project Biodiversity! Very proud of this PhD work dx.doi.org/10.1002/ece3.7…

🐋🐋THESIS SUBMITTED!!🐋🐋 Coming soon to a MS Teams meeting near you: #RemoteSensing to measure the #physiology and foraging #ecology of North Atlantic #rightwhales in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Canada The defense date will be announced after I receive examiner feedback.

dal.ca/news/2024/10/0… Big congrats to the inaugural recipients of the Michael Albert Garron Fund--especially our own Rhyl Frith 🎉

“Hot” off the press! 🌡️🐋 Colleagues & I developed a method using #drones & #thermalimaging to measure the temperatures inside #whale blowholes - more practical than using a thermometer! Spoiler alert: the results are “cooler” than you’d expect (~26.9°C/80.4°C) 😎

Whatever happens in the US, the following remain true: -The basic needs of many people are not being met -#ClimateChange is real; coupled with other human activities, it’s driving species toward extinction Let’s continue fighting FOR each other (& the #whales), not against🗳️💙🐋

Increases to NSERC Discovery Grants: Budget 2024 funds will be ramped up over the next 5 years, with $20.4 million this 1st year & increasing to $227 million per year in year 5 & ongoing. These increases will enable researchers to better support students & postdoctoral fellows.

Thrilled to have arrived in Perth, Australia for the 25th Biennial Marine Mammalogy Conference! #SMM2024 mates, come check out my talk on Wednesday, Nov. 13 at 14:06 (Meeting Room 1-3) about North Atlantic #rightwhale foraging #ecology in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Canada

The @kim_davies12 lab from UNB Saint John enjoyed presenting at the Marine Mammalogy #SMM2024 meeting in Perth, Australia the other week. So wonderful to connect with old and new #marinemammal colleagues in a beautiful city 🐋🐬🦭🦦🐻‍❄️ UNB Research Graduate Studies

Hi friends, family & colleagues! 🐋 Excited to officially announce the date/time of my #PhD thesis defense: Dec 19 at 4 pm Atlantic. See more details below. Everyone is welcome! Message me privately for the link to attend virtually. Hope to "sea" you there 🌊😉💙
