Last year we published the longest post in the more than 17 year history of our science blog. It contains a panel of experts (including me) responding to nearly 50 common questions that people have about marine biology career advice. Please read and share! I'm happy to answer any questions. 🧪🦑🌍

I have to tell you something! I joined an Acadian women’s chorale at UdeM. Some have been singing under Monique Richard's direction for decades & it’s SO FUN. Many chic, eccentric eyeglasses frames! Plus, I'm learning French storytelling tricks like yelling “QUOAA?!” when something is wild!

Some folks say deep-sea fish aren’t cute. I dare you to look at this bumpy snailfish and not say “aww.” Try it. I dare you. …and if you can't, you might have a cold, cold dead heart. bioone.org/journals/ich...

Pals, nearly everytime that I'm at the airport I see my friend's ex husband, I've known her since grade 8 and I even went to their wedding. He works here, they just announced his name and that it's his birthday. I can't believe that somehow I'm still bumping into him and his life!

Lovely examples of how BUTTONS used to be made from the nacreous layer of these bivalves! Just take "hole punches" through the shells! #molluscmonday

I avoid walking under trees or power lines where I see guano on the ground. I yell "no pooping" at flocks overhead. Working at sea - let's just say I have taken a few disgusting hits.... Getting out of the car at the gym, it happened, gulls, a wet wack to the side of my head.

Good riddance to summer! I'm so relieved that it's autumn.

My sister & I were just talking about blueberry fungy! It was my favorite growing up & mom would make it for supper (no ice cream on ours 😂) we had never heard anybody else call it a fungy and this article mentions it!! For years I didn't even know that blueberry grunt was the same recipe!

Here's an owlet showing off his flexibility last week.🪶

I should be in the classroom (like, literally, 8:35AM class) right now. Then at the Welcome Fair in the Quad. Instead, locked out. I'm mad, hurt, disappointed, betrayed. But, I am always someone who looks on the bright side of everything. So, here is the good: 1/2 #KeepDalStrong

Now Spicy P and I both have a UNB Alumni pin and a doctorate. Congratulations Dr. Siakam!

A lobster tagged by Dr. Koopman on Grand Manan went on a big trek to Massachusetts! Thank you to the fisher who called saw the phone number on the tag and called her!

I am so upset with myself that I did not pay attention and missed Miss Vanjie and Gala Varo performing during River of Pride and that's on me 😭

Fall lobster fishery opens on Monday in the Northumberland Strait

Remembering Sarah-Maude Gagnon | Skies of Danger, Seas of Trouble

There are a lot of stories out there this week on the discovery of the cause of the sea star die off. This is, in my opinion, the best. Fantastic reporting, great visuals, behind the scenes science writing at its best. Give it a read.

I'm not the type of scientist who enjoys dissections or lethal sampling methodologies. Ughhhh. Step 1 this morning was collecting eggs from a lobster that kept trying to protect the clutch. Next was the ovary which is on the inside. 😭

33 year old puffin right here in New Brunswick! I love this story! So cuuuute!

It's neat when you read the other reviewers' assessment and recognize how your expertise complements each other. Reviewer 1 had a smart take on some methods in that particular ecosystem impacting the species that I just don't have! Appreciated learning through the reviews too!

Okay, so here's a comic I made a couple years ago
