I’m excited to contribute to this session & share some of the research from the Middleton Island kittiwake heart rate project at my 1st @sebiology.bsky.social conference in Antwerp! Come & hear what my fantastic students @mcmasteruniversity.bsky.social are doing to study seabird energetics!

Super excited to be part of this workshop and talk about my work from the Svalbard reindeer project! I will show examples from both multi-logging heart rate, temperature and activity, as well as insights from long-term biologging! See you in Antwerp at @sebiology.bsky.social

If you’re an ECR at #SEBCONFERENCE in Antwerp and interested in writing for Conservation Physiology in Action, or getting involved in reviewing, come chat to our editorial team tomorrow @conphysjournal.bsky.social

Some frogs are fighting a fungal disease - by breeding! This is a study that I’ve been working on for about 10 years - very exciting to see this in print - and to see my dogs officially thanked for their hard work! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Nice graphic I'm seeing at the other place. Can't find an attribution.

🧪 🦎 I just read a very serious paper about reproductive system imaging in chameleons, and I need you to know that this was Figure 1.

Buckets, duct tape, and zip ties: the holy trinity of field biology.

This is a really interesting trial that could make research funding more diverse 👏🏻

34 years ago today, 14 women, most of whom were studying engineering, were killed by an anti-feminist gun man at École Polytechnique in Montreal. I was a young graduate student studying physics at the time and I will never forget. #MontrealMassacre #NeverForget #WomenInSTEM 🧪🌹

My favorite UK bird fact is that in the 15th century they gave people names to a bunch of birds (Tom Tit, Jenny Wren), but some of them became permanent. Jack Daw became Jackdaw, Maggie Pie became Magpie, and Robert Redbreast turned into Robin Redbreast, then just Robin. 🪶🗃️

So excited to see work on food web changes and shrinking body size in fishes. This is a prime example in sardine, showing that ”warmer waters with smaller prey dramatically increase energy expenditure.” www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Dear The Future: We did not ask for wifi in our appliances. We do not need it. It does not improve our lives. We do not want to have to connect to apps and passwords before we can just turn on our goddamned new ovens. We want buttons and knobs and things that work. Please oblige. Love, Us.

Depressing 🥺 www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

As grad prospective email season hits its peak, remember Inigo's guide to a solid email intro:

It's not okay to offer funding where the recipient uses their own money first and is reimbursed later. This barrier puts serious pressure on those in less privileged positions. Many struggle (silently) or lose out completely. Reduce inequity by offering resources up front.

The males of crickets on two Hawaiian islands have evolved to be silent - the reason? Parasitoid flies that hunt by sound www.abc.net.au/local/audio/... #Invertebrate 🧪

I feel like I’m the only person that finds Dr. Kariko’s story extremely depressing and discouraging? Like how many scientists were treated the same way and didn’t get justice/revenge/ vindication via a Nobel Prize? How long are things going to happen like that ? Cuz nothing has changed.

Most academics know that MDPI is not the most reputable publisher but this is particularly grim: a special issue in which 27th of the 28th papers are authored by the two guest editors. https://www.mdpi.com/journal/processes/special_issues/Biologics_Botanicals

Very cool!

I teach this paper in the Experimental Design grad class in our redesigned grad curriculum. I think it does a great job of teaching students how to articulate and test hypotheses with experiments in an abstract way so that the idea of "experiments" is not necessarily attached to any expectations

UK scientists tackle periods in polar research

No research is ever finished. We just run out of time, money or motivation.
