Later this week I'll be chatting with Kurt Samways for the next Atomic Ecology Meets - If you like your isotopes with Atlantic salmon, marine derived nutrients, innovative restoration and large dollop of Canadian nice, then this one is for you! youtu.be/mLrugYqLBh4

Europe has a nitrate problem - essential to our agriculture but harmful to freshwater and coastal habitats, nitrate pollution has become fact of life. Isotopes have a huge, but largely untapped, potential to identify point sources of nitrate and also estimate where that nitrate originated.

Last chance to join the best, in-person stable isotope ecology course there is - The Survivors Guide to Stable Isotope Ecology! We have a great selection of instructors, a phenomenal venue and time to discuss your work 1:1 amongst lectures and data tutorials www.exedramc.com/courses/surv...

Upskilling for 2026, or just looking to add a new technique to your research armoury? I have two self-paced courses available through Atomic Ecology covering all the essential information required to analyse and interpret stable isotope data! www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQ8U...

Delighted with the response to my recent chat with Sora Kim for the first Atomic Ecology Meets! New episode planned for February, stay tuned! www.atomicecology.com/post/atomic-...

At a workshop last week, a couple of colleagues and I started discussing why stable isotope based approaches so prevalent in academic research are rarely seen in applied fishery management.

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

I am looking for a new job! I am one of the federal public servants whose position is being discontinued as part of the government-wide expenditure review. If you know of opportunities to work in marine and fisheries ecology, let your girl know. www.linkedin.com/in/stephanie-boudreau-9114a93a7

Starting the journey home from a wonderful week at CESAB in Montpellier. Science, discussion, new friends, a whole lotnof isotopes and maybe even a beer or three. So pleased that I dint have to get back to the Maritimes this time round!

There are just a few weeks left to sign up for my Center for Wildlife Studies "biology and ecology of sharks" online course, which you can take for transfer credit or just to learn something. There's an optional 3-day field research experience in additon to the online lectures and assignments!

Amazing visualization of the challenges faced by right whales migrating along the eastern seaboard!

Is your New Years resolution to learn more about sharks? (Just kidding, I assume that's everyone's New Years resolution!) Good news! We are offering my online take-at-your-own-pace "Biology and Ecology of Sharks and Their Relatives" course again, starting in February! 🦑🧪🌍🦈

Have only every heard great things about this meeting. By salmon ECRs for salmonid ECRs, and in a magical location to boot!

📢 Upcoming Webinar: Atomic Ecology Meets Dr Sora Kim! Later this week, I’ll be launching the first in a new series of webinars titled 'Atomic Ecology Meets'. These are designed to sit somewhere between a podcast and a seminar, providing a small (but powerful) dose of high quality science along

Multiple mega-farms in the Lough catchment + sewage outlets + septic tanks. That's a whole lot of poo, containing a whole lot of nitrates + phosphates with the potential to end up in the Lough, feeding algae. You can explore on our Watershed Pollution Map: share.google/IUa0Eb6MJKqE...

Happy New Year from Atomic Ecology 🌱 This year I’ll be sharing more about how stable isotopes help answer practical questions in food systems, fisheries, and environmental management — not just theory, but tools you can use. Looking forward to the conversations ahead. www.atomicecology.com

Canada is a primary supplier for the international medical community, currently producing a significant portion of the world's supply of several critical isotopes used to diagnose and treat cancer. www.ontario.ca/page/nuclear... #Canada

Course modules include: • Foundations • Study design • Food webs • Mixing models • R workflows 👉 atomicecology.com/courses

New paper! Our study in Ecosphere, led by Chong Chen on our @oceancensus.bsky.social cruise, maps biodiversity in methane seeps. My role was minor, but everyone was a blast to work with. We have more exciting stuff from this cruise coming! esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

📣 Ecologists and evolutionary biologists! Have you ever wanted to be a journal editor? BES journals are having an open call for editors. Details: www.britishecologicalsociety.org/content/appl... Happy to answer any Qs! Open to all nationalities. Applications from postdocs welcome :)

This was a LOT of work — filming, writing, editing, R coding… and a slightly unhealthy amount of coffee. Very pleased with the outcome though, time well spent! Courses → www.atomicecology.com/courses

5 things you’ll learn in my new Stable Isotope Ecology courses: • Isotope foundations • Study design • Food webs • Mixing models • R workflows 👉 www.atomicecology.com/courses 👉

Who are these courses for? Researchers, students, labs, agencies — anyone using stable isotopes. 👉 www.atomicecology.com/courses 👉 vimeo.com/1141154923 #Ecology #StableIsotopes

Why create two full stable isotope courses? Because more and more people rely on isotopes — but very few get proper training in how to design studies, interpret data, or use tools like simmr or MixSIAR with confidence. vimeo.com/1141154923

For those of you who missed our meeting on Monday, @elainemcgoff.bsky.social contributes to this segment which outlines the key points of discussion we had on the night. Pat O'Toole from the Farmers Journal even mentions our meeting near the end. A great summary of the key issues and tensions.

Happy #WorldEggDay! 🥚 A few curious students and a few cartons of eggs led to one of my favourite isotope stories — testing whether “free range” eggs really lived up to their label. Spoiler: the isotopes told the truth. Full story on Atomic Ecology: www.atomicecology.com/post/the-chi...

Delighted to be back teaching on The Survivor's Guide to Stable Isotope Ecology for 2026 - its always a highlight of the year. A fantastic week of isotopic learning in a truly magnificent location. www.exedramc.com/courses/surv...

Food webs are the blueprint of ecosystems. Want to know what fuels migrating birds? Or how invasive species disrupt rivers and lakes? The answers are in the food web — and stable isotopes let us read it. www.atomicecology.com/post/whats-i...
