A new systemic review from @baumlab.bsky.social is offering a stark warning for how profoundly ocean life can be upended by heatwaves. The review synthesizes findings from 331 studies that documented the ecological impacts of the 2014-16 Pacific marine heatwave. theconversation.com/the-worlds-l...

Attention Climate Solutions Scholars! @uvic.ca seeks its next Canada Excellence Research Chair 🇨🇦: www.uvic.ca/research-inn... You: world class scholar, looking to make a move Us: #5 in world for climate action, collegial, stunning location (B.C.) w award-winning climate policy Pls share widely!

For the right person, this is a once-in-a-lifetime unicorn dream job.

Proud, as always, of our amazing Kelp Rescue (@kelprescue.bsky.social ) team. 4 years in the making, our 1st kelp restoration publication is out! 🎉🎉🎉 Onwards! @uvic.ca BMSC. Thanks to all our funders, especially Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) 🇨🇦

A tremendous and tragic loss for her family and friends, the conservation community, and the wild bees. 🐝 Rest in peace Sheila.

Wow.

Could underwater kelp forests offer a natural climate solution? New research from @baumlab.bsky.social & @jennmchenry.bsky.social offers a tentative yes, finding that Canadian kelp forests may export 40,000 - 400,000 metric tons of carbon to the deep ocean each year. news.uvic.ca/media-releas...

1/ Just in time for #WorldOceanDay: Check out our new study in #npjOceanSustainability taking critical first look at whether Canada's kelp forests can be a source of natural climate solutions. We offers a blueprint for other countries looking to do the same. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s44...

New paper alert! We combined modern ecology, archaeology, and a palaeontology technique of examining crab 🦀 claw marks on their clam prey to examine how these shellfish populations have changed over 3000 years. Find it open access here: doi.org/10.1016/j.bi... #ConservationPaleobiology #CPB

CSEE Friends - If you are a current member, please vote now! Having an active engaged Council is vital to our society. Please consider all aspects of diversity - and the make-up of our current Council (csee-scee.ca/contacts/) - when voting. #CSEE

Deeply disheartened to learn. We had just hosted @meadekrosby.bsky.social @uvic.ca last month & learned more about the impactful solutions-oriented work they did. This is devestating news and underscores the Trump administration's lack of understanding about climate change and communities' needs.

If you need motivation to vote, this should do it! We will never be the 51st state! Vote #TeamCarney everywhere. We need to stand up to our southern bully! #CanadaStrong 💪❤️🇨🇦 #elxn2025

En ce Jour De la Terre, la SCEE souligne le travail remarquable des écologistes et biologistes évolutifs du Canada, qui œuvrent à comprendre la vie sur Terre et à conserver, préserver et restaurer les écosystèmes d’un océan à l’autre, ici comme ailleurs. Merci de poursuivre ce travail essentiel !🌎

On this #EarthDay, CSEE recognize the amazing work Canada’s ecologists and evolutionary biologists are doing to understand life on Earth, including how to conserve, preserve and restore our environment from coast to coast to coast in Canada and beyond. Keep up the great work!🌎 #EarthDay2025

Hard to believe it is coming to this. A US travel warning to all university researchers in Canada... the vast majority of whom have ongoing collaborations with people in the US, have field work in the US, and/or attend meetings in the US to share their work. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

VOTE, as though all of your rights and freedoms are on the line. Because they are. 🇨🇦 #ElbowsUp #TrueNorthStrongandFree

Given the rapidly evolving political landscape in the United States and reports of individuals encountering difficulties crossing the border, CAUT strongly recommends that academic staff travel to the U.S. only if essential and necessary. Read more: www.caut.ca/latest/2025/...

Glad to see the Canadian Society for Ecology & Evolution (@csee-scee.bsky.social) speak up in support of science! csee-scee.ca/current-bull... This letter focuses on attacks on scientific integrity & science in the U.S.A. Similar things happened and still happen elsewhere. Speak up. Stand up.

A shout out to the millions who marched in the United States for democracy and against fascism. Taking back the country is going to be a long and hard struggle but it has begun. From Canada we say: #elbowsup

To all the Americans in the streets today. This Canadian sees you and thanks you 🙏 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 🤝

The Canadian Society for Ecology and Evolution @csee-scee.bsky.social stands in solidarity with scientists in the U.S. Science is not a partisan issue. We all rely upon and benefit from it. Read our statement here:

Canadian federal election will be Apr 28. @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social on Trump when announcing it "He wants to break us so Americans can own us."

The election has just been called for April 28. If you are a Canadian living outside the country, get your mail-in ballot here ASAP: travel.gc.ca/travelling/l...

🍁 A reminder to my fellow Canadians: Science advances our progress, innovation, and security, strengthening our future. And in uncertain times, investing in *Canadian* science is increasingly critical for building self-reliance, reducing dependencies on others, and securing national interests. 🧪

This and that the US media has no legal obligation to the truth have resulted in the "news" becoming propaganda machines. This makes Canada's objective news sources, including the CBC, all the more important. Journalism is a pillar of democracy.

🚨 HUGE news from Canada's tricouncils who are harmonizing their scholarship & fellowship programs, upping the total number (huzzah!), and critically, allowing foreigners to apply for doctoral and postdoc fellowships. Want to work with me? Get in touch! 🇨🇦🧪⚒️ www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/NewsDetail-D...

Me this morning:

Abstracts are due today for #CSEE2025! Submit them here: event.fourwaves.com/scee2025/pages. Early bird registration is open until April 15. See you in Sherbrooke! @csee-sceemtgs.bsky.social

This has been in the works for a while, and is not a response to recent events, but the timing couldn't be better: Canada now allows foreign students and postdocs to apply for more doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships! www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/NewsDetail-D...

We were never laughing.

Hey Canada, we should all listen to this interview. @petermacleod.bsky.social describes what a 🇨🇦 Civil Defense Corps could look like (starts @ 10m in). It includes preventing mis/disinfo, disaster response, & each of us contributing skills. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/e...

Turns out we have 18 icebreakers and two other ice-capable craft in our Coast Guard. 🧊 🚢 🇨🇦 And I probably shouldn't say this considering the 🟧 guy's view on science, but one of them – CCGS Amundsen – is dedicated to Arctic research. 🧪 www.ccg-gcc.gc.ca/icebreaking-...
