As Budget 2024 approaches, please join me in advocating for increased funding for graduate students & postdocs in 🇨🇦. It's time to recognize their critical contributions to science, discovery, & innovation #SupportOurScience CanadianPM Chrystia Freeland supportourscience.ca/action-budget-…

Check this Call for Abstracts in Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences and Canadian Journal of Zoology. This collection will reflect Dr. Hutchings’ endeavours via the following themes: life history variation across enviro gradients, fisheries science, & science policy. More info ⤵️.

Research is not a club, it is not for a select few, it is for everyone.

It is a fundamental building block of Canada that everyone has a stake in.

Research improves our health, environment, innovation and economy.

Time to invest in researchers, postdocs, and grad students.

A personal post. A few years ago, I thought I wouldn’t live to see 2024. Six months before the pandemic, my world was turned upside down. I was diagnosed with acute leukaemia. I still recall the very moment when my ER doctor delivered that news. 1/n

Urquhart-Cronish et al. model the eco-evolutionary range dynamics of life-history traits under density-dependent selection. They find that DD alters the extent of allele surfing & that population density is important for consequences of range expansion.

Thank you Holly Moeller, @mixotrophe at other places too for this poignant summary of Prof. Amarasekare’s situation, entirely incommensurate with her actions. Oversight is needed of UC’s handling of this case. #ucregents

#SupportOurScience is happy to share a summary of our research on return on investment in training graduate students, postdoctoral scholars & their research, which can be found here👉supportourscience.ca/return-on-inve…. The results are shocking, and lead to the following conclusions: 1/4

A cold & beautiful day as we begin our project applying a Quw’utsun food systems lens to restoration of the Cowichan Bay Estuary with The Nature Trust of BC & Cowichan Tribes. We also welcome new Masters student Nava Sachs who will be working on this project. indigenousecology.com/team/nava-sach……

Michael Whitlock and Sarah Otto from University of British Columbia Beaty Biodiversity Museum 🐳 at the University of Colombo visiting the museum and my lab. Cool few hours for all of us. Students had some great time with them.
