Hey, do I know anyone at the Royal Ontario Museum?

After 5 great years (short 1 month), I’m hitting the ol’ dusty trail! Lmk if you are interested in either of these positions.

Are there any freshwater biologists out there who can tell me if it's reasonable to have found Spionidae (Polychaeta worms) in the diets of freshwater fish in Alberta, Canada? This is from metabarcoding... so could be misidentification?

Our thoughts on the #MoraineLake decision 🧵 Managing visitor use and traffic in the #LakeLouise area has been a growing challenge with no easy answers. On Friday, Parks Canada announced that the Moraine Lake parking area will be closed to private vehicles 🏞

If you’ve been left dazed and confused by the past three years, you’re not alone. The policies that safeguard Alberta’s parks and protected areas have been subject to some pretty serious abuse – and when the hits just keep on coming, it’s hard to keep track of where we stand 🥴

A mutation can be bad, good, bad and good, neutral, neutral and bad… and the fate of a mutation depends on chance, migration, location in the genome... 🤯😅 So, Sam Yeaman and I decided to do a study. With @mountroyal4u undergrad co-author Bryce! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I started my lab in 2005. The 1-year old I'm holding in this 2005 picture just finished his first year of Uni, and for my entire time as a prof and his entire life, the value of an NSERC / CRSNG scholarship has not changed. This is appalling and miserly. #SupportOurScience
