Increasing funding to #GradStudents and #Postdocs is the most urgent funding issue in Canada-they haven't had a raise in 20 yrs! I am so disappointed in Chrystia Freeland Justin Trudeau & François-Philippe Champagne (FPC) 🇨🇦 - #Budget2023 contains nothing to support these researchers #SupportOurScience 1/3

Congratulations to Dr. David Cramb on being reappointed as the Dean at Faculty of Science at Toronto Metropolitan University. Here's to another 5 years of discovery and innovative research! 🔬 Read more here: torontomu.ca/news-events/ne…

#ISupportGradStudents #ISupportPostdocs–#Budget2023 means that our most educated and skilled WORKERS get paid less than unskilled labourers Chrystia Freeland @justintrudeau #SupportOurScience

If it were a separate country, the #GreatLakes basin would be the third largest #economy in the world and freshwater is its fuel. As #climatechange makes #water scarce, people will seek refuge in the basin. Time is ticking - we must plan & prepare. #SciencePlan

Humbled! My heartfelt thanks to the USIEF and #Fulbright for selecting me for this amazing opportunity. I really thank WII and PU Chandigarh for all the encouragement. Looking forward to this new venture Panjab University, Chandigarh Wildlife Institute of India

Congrats to Dr EE Millar on his interdisciplinary PhD Faculty of Science TMU Environmental Applied Science & Management on why aquatic citizen science's move to platforms could lead to mistrust and industry control. 1st PhD to graduate from spatioeco lab & envirogeog. Marvelous job! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

'Could lead to' is the key phrase. Platforms (e.g. Twitter, Facebook) are great for getting large amounts of information into standardised, interoperable formats, and spreading info.

To all Canadians: HERE'S HOW TO SWITCH SEARCH ENGINES: support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/manag…

Google and Facebook will be blocking all Canadian news - even in Google searches. HOW LONG BEFORE THEY BLOCK YOU??? platforms are assuming the role of purveyors. Read Mario Ressa to understand why we should all be VERY worried.

The relationship between the government and developers who benefited from having lands removed from the #Greenbelt must be explored by an agency with criminal investigative powers in its quiver, writes Timothy Gray @CanadaGray.bsky.social. ow.ly/nUIV50PAzj8 #ONpoli

Congrats EE Millar on publishing about the implications of using 'free' or 'easy to use' platforms for aquatic citizen science. It's important to prevent data commodification. Download full article before Nov 13 here: authors.elsevier.com/c/1hpKL3pILd~mk. Glad to be a part of this!

Proud to be part of these journeys, Dr EE Millar and Master Moiz Syed (Moiz Ali). Congratulations!

I'm happy to announce a recent publication by Adisa Julien and I. Available by open access at Diversity 2024, 16(12), 763 url: mdpi.com/3089042. "Habitat Suitability in the Eyes of the Beholder" using avian functional traits to predict bird use of natural & urban areas.

Apparently #Strump smells like SHT anyway, so perhaps he thinks everyone should smell that way. #emperorhasnoclothes #Resist
