This is really a stunning paper. Cyanobacteria exposed to shorter days (in the lab) "rewire" their membrane lipids to anticipate cold weather. When those cells are plunged into cold water, they have "two or three-times higher survival" than cells exposed to longer days.

New paper published in @NatureComms The 2023 fire season in Canada is a wake-up call: severe climate impacts on fire activity are arriving decades earlier than predicted. Building fire-resilient environments is now more critical than ever! @NRCan @CEF_CFR nature.com/articles/s4146…


Un sujet qui en surprend plus d'un!

Our new paper led by @kevcrose makes the case that aquatic deoxygenation has sufficient implications for the Earth system that it warrants inclusion in the planetary boundaries framework. doi.org/10.1038/s41559…

Excellent review/synthesis... worth checking out. Drought as an emergent driver of ecological transformation in the twenty-first century academic.oup.com/bioscience/art…


"Walkouts, petitions & tweets: how a grass-roots movement led by students, postdocs and tenured academics changed gov. policy on science funding." Better pay for those funded by our tri-agency council. Definitely a *BIG* win. But still inequalities & short-term vision for most.

New article in @Nature by SOS Executive Director Kaitlin Kharas on how Canada boosted PhD and postdoc pay! "The collective voices of graduate students and postdoctoral scholars are too powerful to be ignored." Read it here: rdcu.be/dNdyw

Pour l’🩵 des lacs, nous souhaitons vous rappeler d’adopter de bonnes pratiques de nettoyage 🚿 des embarcations ⛵️🚤🚣⛴️et ainsi limiter 🛑 la propagation des espèces aquatiques envahissantes (EAE).

It's here. My first publication in *Science*🥰 In 2022, I quit my post-doc & left academia for industry - I immediately questioned whether I had made the wrong decision. Here's what happened next: @ScienceMagazine @ScienceCareers science.org/content/articl…

The first chapter of my PhD research has been published!🥳We present LakeTEMP: a dataset of #Landsat 8 surface water temperature observations and ice phenology estimations for all lakes in the world that are larger than 0.1 km² (~1.4 million).🧵 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…


It shouldn't have come to this but good to see alternatives for Can students coming to QC-hopefully more solutions will arise, esp for internat stds. Thx @mcgillu for sending the msg that stds are *welcome* here. Awards (80% eligibility) offset '24 tuition increases to '23 levels

There is a ton of misinformation in my replies so here is a primer on permafrost carbon. Permafrost stores a HUGE amount of carbon because ancient life took up CO2, built biomass, then died. That organic matter (~50% C) slowly accrued in Earth's best freezer for 1000s of yrs. 1/

🐟Traditional Inuit fishing sites are linked to Arctic char habitat use. A fantastic collaboration with fishers allowed to characterize winter habitats.

Why are our best and brightest leaving Canada? 🤔 Really proud of the @SupportOurSci team for being featured in this piece from @UA_magazine! Read more here 👇👇 universityaffairs.ca/features/featu… #SupportOurScience


That rings a bell.

Falling behind: postdocs in their thirties tire of putting life on hold. Read the results of Nature’s second global survey of postdoctoral researchers go.nature.com/3Qtd4hI
