Safe travels to everyone on the move over the coming weeks.

These two new cases are deeply concerning, and we are working with our partners to limit the spread of CWD as much as possible. Hunters, First Nations and the community are key to helping us manage CWD to protect our wildlife. (2/4)

‘Sheila just went for it’: York University scientist Sheila Colla remembered as a fierce advocate to save wild bees

Thankkkkks Adam! Like supervisor, like student.

Devastated to lose my friend @savewildbees.bsky.social today. She was fierce, loyal, bright, and funny. She made those of us who knew her better people, parents, and scientists.

First day back to work after a week away....a week where most of my colleagues had at least 1 stat holiday or were on vacation. Time to event predictions for return to inbox 0?

Most of my friends dads have died. And these friends are all amazing dads themselves. Today, we are all wishing we could show to our dads that we are doing a good job too.
