“Many Americans don’t take Trump’s threats to Canada seriously — or seriously enough — and dismiss them with the same exhausted shrug that too many of Trump’s words inspire…. In Canada, he doesn’t sound like a troll. He sounds like a threat.”

Madeleine L'Engle; this is why they want you illiterate

I just love these ideas. Let's make this G-index work for academia! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I hereby create a community of people who love, respect, and admire boglands. They are mysterious, beautiful, and powerful to ecology, archaeology and climate. Yet these systems continue to be misunderstood and threatened. Who wants to join my bog fan club? Please share - bogs need friends right now

Let's have some fun with Google.

This is so good.

To all my American friends: We Canadians are well aware that there is only one person to blame for the trade war against our country - the Felon In Chief. We will fight because that is what we do, but our anger is not against you. Our bond will endure. 🇨🇦🫶🇺🇸

Between 2019 and 2023, researchers paid $8.968 billion to make papers open access. Imagine what else could be done with this money if it wasnt paid to for profit publishing companies... 👉 arxiv.org/abs/2407.16551

This is very good. Canadians need to see it too. Please share widely. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/22/o...

Remember, this is how it works…

Thanks! I needed this today!

Donald Trump is back in the White House, but who is really pulling the strings? www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QI6...

So, back out of the Paris accord, exacerbating CC and then come get what you need from 🇨🇦. It has been the plan all along. Climate change is fuelling Trump’s desire to tap into Canada’s water and Arctic resources theconversation.com/climate-chan...

I normally don't clout-beg but in this instance I'm going to make an exception. Could you share this, please? I'd like to get Elon's companies entirely out of Canada. bsky.app/profile/carl...

#RPVSky Reading is writing: To situate your work within the broader literature, you need to READ buff.ly/4i4oHaF Sometimes we feel like we don't have the time to read. But it is a necessary, an unavoidable part and element of the writing process and of a writing practice.

There are many issues with preprints, but one of the biggest is when they are seen as credible before being peer-reviewed. This is potentially very dangerous. A 🧵 🧪 #SciPub #AcademicSky

More great ideas of how to react to Trump’s not so funny “joke”. We need a some strategic planning and not reactivity. Canada-U.S. history provides lessons on how Canada can deal with a hostile Donald Trump theconversation.com/canada-u-s-h...

This! Let’s make this happen Canada!! Canada, the 51st state? Eliminating interprovincial trade barriers could ward off Donald Trump theconversation.com/canada-the-5...

Looking forward to welcoming you to the UQAM family Scott!

I had no idea that there was this amazing woman behind all that fantasy and SF I read as a teen in the early 80’s. Thanks for this story! And long live the dragons of Pern.

At last, the nature documentary we all deserve. youtu.be/ByCxxZOwQUI?...

Big news from Finnish publication forum. Almost all MDPI and Frontiers journals will be downgraded to level 0 and thus are not considered as properly peer reviewed trustworthy scientific journals. julkaisufoorumi.fi/en/news/chan...

📢#WeAreHiring! I am looking for a #postdoc (2yr position) either in ecological modelling or experimental trait-based ecology to join us in Northern Biodiversity and Ecosystem functioning group at @helsinkiuni.bsky.social Thanks for reposting! jobs.helsinki.fi/job/Helsinki...

Here's a starter pack for assembling a versatile collection of Ecology and Evolution journals. Please send suggestions Bookmark it in your browser for quick access to explore their publications (see posts in the pack) or find outlets for your work: go.bsky.app/TivtkJn

Our plan is an alternative that would enable the Liberals NDP and Greens (and maybe the Bloc) to work together without any mergers - to cooperate and ensure we elect governments that better reflect the values and priorities of the majority of Canadians. cooperateforcanada.ca

Super interesting article about valuing ecological field work more - both by academia and funding agencies. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I am looking for a PhD student to start in fall of 2025 at MSU. Potential topics include trait-based approaches to plankton community resilience, temperature effects on communities, harmful algal blooms and many others. Please get in touch if interested. More info: www.kl-lab.group.

For a number of years now, I’ve had a policy that I don’t submit to nor will I review for MPDI and Frontiers. This analysis supports that decision. It’s no reflection on the many excellent papers and studies that have been published in them, but rather on their editorial and business practices.
