McGoogan's best book. Most of Arctic histories treat Lady Franklin as a bit player, and often a nag, even when Franklin's fate was brutally obvious. Reading this you learn how much she was responsible for driving Franklin's career. It puts her drive for more search parties in a different light

Thankfully this is the American astronauts. I'd hate to be Jeremy Hansen calling SSC and trying to explain why he's attempting to access his GoC mail from outside of Canada....

Is there anyone (preferably an ECR/grad student) in the wildlife sciences that would like a free 6 month membership to The Wildlife Society? I have one that I can gift. Let me know!

Looking for an MSc student to start in Sept 2026 with possible summer employment this May. We're looking for a student to apply stable isotopes to a small mammal community to test hypotheses related to variation in diet among species and habitats. Please DM if you or anyone you know are interested.

Worthwhile noting that these are the kind of pests more regions of Canada will have to deal with under climate change. We historically lack R&D and pest management infrastructure to deal with these issues. e.g., no one in Canada studies or trains people in urban pest management.

Regrettably, I have decided to decommission SimpleMappr, www.simplemappr.net on September 1, 2026. You may read about its origins, what others have accomplished in its 18 year run, and the reasons why I must turn it off in a document I wrote last night bit.ly/simplemappr.

Too many scientists are publishing generalized frameworks. In this study we present a novel framework for understanding generalized frameworks

I'm curious how folks make sure that their students are learning anything about writing by using track changes? I'm finding some students are likely just using "accept all" and not bothering to read the edits or understand. Besides going back to corrections on paper what's the other option?
