If you were considering submitting an abstract for SCAS/IAGLR for our EDI session but didn't because you were only allowed to give one talk, you are now allowed to submit a second talk for sessions 7-11! (We're #10 🤓) And you still have 2 days left to submit an abstract! iaglr.org/iaglr-scas26...

RESEARCH: Northern cod comeback: 10 years after, by Honorary faculty member George Rose doi.org/10.1139/cjfa...

We hope you consider submitting your Abstract to Session 51 at next year’s @scas-scsa.bsky.social @iaglr.bsky.social joint meeting! Come share experiences and lessons learned with other freshwater researchers and practitioners 💧 Hosted by @sjcfishy.bsky.social and Irena Creed

When it comes to better ways of conducting science, who better than Arctic communities themselves? “Who else can do it but us? Are you going to develop something for Indigenous rights that serve our needs, and listen to and work toward the goals and the priorities of our communities?”

We hope to see your abstracts in Session 51 - Informing #Freshwater Policy & Practice by Reflecting on Successes and Failures - an environment to share experiences in work that moves towards solutions for the freshwater #biodiversity crisis with @sjcfishy.bsky.social and Irena Creed (UofT)!

And for #ArtAdventCalendar day 2, some fishing lures 😅 Variations on this design have trended on social media for a while. I used creme polishes for the bases, some with gradients, and topped them all with a sheer holographic magnetic polish. Then I added details using more creme polishes.

Meet Dr. Youbin Zheng, the new co-Editor-in-Chief of the Canadian Journal of Plant Science! A leader in controlled-environment agriculture, his research is reshaping Canadian food production. Read his interview on the #CSPBlog 💡▶️ https://ow.ly/ZqWA50XBl2h U of G Research

Researchers are increasingly #co-producing #knowledge with #Indigenous peoples but academic institutional practices can disincentivize co-production. Grimm et al. draw on their experience to outline challenges and recommend “actionable solutions for academic institutions” doi.org/10.1016/j.tr...

📣It's time for another #ECO.EVO.EDU webinar! We are excited to announce our December webinar on knowledge mobilization taking place on Dec 9th! CSEE Members: check your emails for more information + webinar link. (Please note: English event).

“It is not acceptable to recruit a variety of students into the laboratory, subject them to a variety of stress tests and abuses, and then keep the students who thrive under abuse and get rid of the students who aren't able to thrive in the lab. That's straight-up exploitation.” 👏👏👏

You know those labs that keep harming students, again and again? Some reflections on why it's so hard to stop this from happening and where our responsibilities lie. scienceforeveryone.science/bad-mentors-... 🧪
