All this opossum shrimp talk had me curious, are humans an invasive species? There is a lack of consensus - we are either the worst invasive or not one at all. Yes, we are widespread and wreck havoc, but are we native? And who 'introduced' us? #SocEcoSys bit.ly/2HzHugR

Maybe a contributing factor to the psychic numbing of donations is that we don't know if or what the direct impact of a donation will be. To fight it, Kiva.org crowdfunds loans to real people for outlined purposes (with photos) to expand $$ access! #SocEcoSys

In Pauly's shifting baseline syndrome, the continuous degradation of our environment may lead us to normalize and accept lower and lower environmental thresholds. So how can we identify the actual baseline? What if the ecosystem flipped or has multiple stable states? #SocEcoSys

If long-term studies are needed to properly categorize sources & sinks (Dias 1996), how do we prioritize which species are "worthy enough" of our investment in the necessary studies? How can we look beyond ecological triage & charismatic megafauna? #Invertebrates #SocEcoSys

We spend all year protecting our waterways, but road salt, used to combat snow and ice, is washed into rivers in the span of days after a winter storm. Yes, it is important to protect human life, but are there alternatives that are not as ecologically detrimental? #SocEcoSys

Across the Pacific tabus were implemented for centuries. Tabu is a prohibited fishing zone for 100 nights after a chief dies. A network of more permanent tabus are now set up in Fiji. Look at what we can achieve by combining tradition & science #SocEcoSys bit.ly/2UXnZAL

99% of plastic is made from fossil fuels & we lack the recycling capacity to manage the plastic in circulation. Yet so much focus is on waste mgmt. We need to take a more holistic view by looking at the production & entire life cycle of plastic #SocEcoSys bit.ly/2NRzJT2

In honor of Intl Women's Day, Jane Goodall not only conducted groundbreaking research on chimpanzees & puts local communities at the heart of conservation, but also promotes education and empowerment of youth via Roots & Shoots, a true #SocEcoSys approach! bit.ly/2SXJu2Q

Based on a 3M State of Science Index survey across 12 countries, 1 in 3 people are skeptical of science, driving distrust. A solution to improving science appreciation is to make it more relatable to everyday life and communicate its human impact. #SocEcoSys

“Thousands have lived without love, none without water”-WH Auden. Water is a necessity to life. All should (but currently don't!) have a right to safe water. It is also a clear example of how we can't live outside a #SocEcoSys. Happy belated World H2O Day! bit.ly/2Opcwbn

8 yo Xóchitl invented a solar water heater entirely from discarded items to reduce her community's need to cut down trees for firewood & slow climate change. Promoting recycling, clean energy, women (or girls) in science, & helping her community #SocEcoSys bit.ly/2WsbkX9

We are very pleased to announce that @andreajanereid has accepted our offer and will be joining #UBCOceans as Assistant Professor, Indigenous Fisheries in Jan 2021. #indigenousknowledge #fisheries UBC Longhouse UBC Science

Another project, Hidden Consequences! A short video about research UBC Oceans by Adam hicks, Annie Mejaes, @dirediredock, and myself! We are graded partially based on likes, so we'd appreciate yours! 👍 youtu.be/NPznKuunyQc

There has been extra awareness this week in how the graduate school application process weeds out folks who aren't already plugged in. I floundered applying for grad schools because I didn't know the unwritten rules. Here is an insufficient bandaid. (1/n)

In July 2019, NPR's Nina Totenberg sat down with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and asked her to reflect on her career. "I do think that I was born under a very bright star," she said, recounting the obstacles that faced her. n.pr/35QPe94

My first publication from my PhD. We find that a ban on capture and trade have no real impact for the conservation of species caught incidentally in non-selective fishing gear. There is a real need to constrain where and when these gears operate.

Excited to share that I successfully defended my MSc thesis on aquaculture subsidies this week! HUGE shoutout to my wonderful supervisor Rashid Sumaila for his constant support & this amazing opportunity!! And my friends & family who were along for the ride! UBC Oceans UBC IRES
