PSA: Before this "dislike" thing gets out of hand, because I've seen some very big accounts misinforming people, here's what it actually is. It's a private option that lets you see less of topics you're not interested in on certain feeds. That's it. It's not a downvote, thumbs down, etc.

⏰ Deadline today! Nominate an outstanding scientist for the SEB Plenary Lecture Award, to be presented at the 2026 Annual Conference in Florence 🇮🇹. Submit here: www.sebiology.org/grants/award-listing/seb-plenary-lecture-award.html

Interested in a Graduate Assistantship? The Energetics Lab (Giroud) at Northern Michigan University is now accepting applications for a motivated individual to obtain a Master in Biology and work on seasonal changes of the cardiac proteome & heart function in hibernating species.

Sublethal impacts of climate change on stingless bees, check out our hot off the press publication in @thermal-biology.bsky.social 🔥 How is flight speed impacted by changes in temperature? We tested #TPCs in an arid and subtropical bee 🐝 @pipilika.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

@mark-carney.bsky.social you might want to take note of this. One of your nation building plans could be supporting research across Canada rather than another oil pipeline that contributes further to climate change. #Canada

I am really proud of this study! It was led by an amazing ECR, highlights the work of a wonderful team of co-authors, and has resulted in a database of mechanistic demographic models currently being expanded to include underrepresented taxa to do comparative forecasts: github.com/MariaPaniw/C...

Science on Tap at Blackrocks Brewery will resume in October with a full schedule of scientific talks for the 2025-2026 academic year. Check on the poster below and stay tuned for further development of the "fun" scientific events!!

Quaterly Hibernation Highlights will be available on the IHS Website: hibsoc.com The PDF of the 2025 Summer Hibernation Highlights are accessible from this link : hibsoc.com/wp-content/u... Stay Tuned 😀 🙃 😁

The International Hibernation Society starts to release quaterly Seasonal Highlights on the Topic "Torpor & Hibernation as Seasonal Adaptative Strategies". Here are the first Hibernation Highlights for the Summer 2025. Enjoy reading the latest research from the Torpor & Hibernation field!

Very excited to share this work with S. Collins, Y. Guan, and A. Krist published in @Ecology_Letters ! We find that resource qauntity and quality (as stoich) differentially control stream invertebrate diversity across spatial scale. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Very excited to begin a position at Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries, Berlin!

Big News! 🚨 I will be starting as an Assistant Professor at Northern Michigan University in the Dept. of Biology this Fall @bionmu.bsky.social If you are interested in doing an MS (or postdoc) in freshwater ecology, community ecol, how aquatic ecosystems respond to global change please reach out!

The Upper Peninsula and Marquette is truly a special place with fantastic access to loads of streams and lakes (including the big one) along with an excellent research network. I am very excited to start my lab here!

If you're thinking about a MS in freshwater ecology, go work with @bbtumolo.bsky.social. Cannot recommend highly enough

To all the #FossilFools who say it's impossible to get to 100% ZEVs in Canada by 2035, that is PURE propaganda driven by the Oil & Gas cartel. Norway - A COLD COUNTRY - is already there. And cheap EVs are already available if we drop 100% tariffs. #EndFossilFuels www.reuters.com/business/aut...

3,000 people turned out today in Marquette! This is for a small city where the temp hovered around freezing with the wind whipping off Lake Superior. We put on our coats, hats, and snow pants and got out there.

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

Wow. #HandsOff rally in St. Paul, Minnesota is massive!

Great showing at Missoula's Hands Off rally today! It was an honor to get to speak briefly, and to introduce the folks doing amazing work on the ground here in Missoula.

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

A highly comprehensive set of papers across the field of thermal biology. Congratulations to Guest Editors, authors and reviewers @sgiroud.bsky.social @julianowack.bsky.social

According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150,000 trees have been planted and 45 hectares of parks created in the city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to and manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050. Plant a lot more urban trees.

Great poster on hibernators latitudinal body size gradient (Bergmann rule) from Korben Moelter, student at the NMU Energetics Lab, at the 2025 Michigan Wildlife Society Chapter Meeting. Also first communication of the Lab on some work done at NMU. Glad to see this happy face! Very proud as well 😊🙃

Exciting Job Opportunity! UBC is hiring an Assistant Professor (Tenure-Track) in Transdisciplinary Wildfire Sciences. Accepting applications until April 30. ubc.wd10.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/ubcfac...
