The racism and misogyny surrounding this one spectacularly gifted woman is mind-bending. She's the whole package. And they can't stand that.

Publicly voicing our scientific concerns, along with the broader concerns by Canada's environmental, legal, and NGO community and First Nations, have made a difference. The federal government has extended the public engagement period to 22 July 2026. Please see: www.canada.ca/en/one-canad...

its laughable to think that somehow society is biased against white males

this is pretty fucked up

imagine how much money we would save on fuel costs, repairs and insurance if we had functioning public transport, whether within- or among cities.

I'm excited to share this paper I wrote with @sauvedrew.bsky.social and @burrowingowlbc.bsky.social is now out in @canjzoology.bsky.social! We investigated offspring sex ratio variation in a Western burrowing owl conservation breeding and reintroduction program 🦉 dx.doi.org/10.1139/cjz-...

Our latest pre-print, The Effects of Urbanization on the Melanistic Patterning and Body Condition of American Toads (Anaxyrus americanus), is an undergraduate thesis. It's always exciting to get one to this stage - doesn't happen all the time, but super rewarding for all involved. lnkd.in/e9QipArM

The fish lives in just one spot in Death Valley. Wildlife officials managed this iconic fish for decades, and last spring, just as the Trump administration was laying off scientists, the wild population of this fish plummeted to only 20. Officials then took an irrevocable step. n.pr/4wgtwoC

the destruction of universities continues apace. Who are these administrators who think that the humanities are expendable? Students want to take these courses - they need to take these courses. I'd love to know which consultant came up with this plan.

🎉💚The Canadian Society of Ecology and Evolution turns 20 this year: As we head toward the annual meeting, we invite you to share your favourite memories, photos, and throwbacks from past CSEE meetings and events! Tag your post with hashtag #SCEECSEE20

My first #SCEECSEE20 meeting was the 2017 gathering in Victoria, BC. I very much appreciate this collaborative, supportive, and thoughtful community. If you're not already a @csee-scee.bsky.social member, today is a great day to join: csee-scee.ca/signup/

I'm heartbroken over the death of Dr. Juliet Daniel. Dr. Daniel was a leading cancer biologist & researcher, a mentor, and a leader. It is too early to define her legacy - massive as it will be - but she made life with breast cancer better for women like me. breastcancer.ca/dr-juliet-da...

You are interested in evolutionary ecology and quantitative genetics. You enjoy fieldwork and birds. Join our laboratory and our international team. csee-scee.ca/job/fully-fu...
