Two Tree River on St. Joseph Island named key biodiversity area for at-risk minnows that leap from water
And how about the disconnect between mass layoffs of government researchers… CANADIANS out of good stable jobs… while trying to absorb international researchers into an already overstretched system.
No. They don’t.
What do you think she’s listening to ?

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.
Coming soon: the latest from our watershed-scale work on impact of defoliating Eastern spruce budworm
A classic kind of day.

PM Carney’s plan to slash 30k public service jobs should concern everyone in Canada.
These reckless cuts will impact the critical services that people rely on.

Earlier this week we were lucky to get a visit from Scott, the OG field tech that was with us until his retirement in 2023. We miss his amazing efficiency and unprecedented work ethic daily but it was nice to see him at least! #ecology #freshwaterecology #forestedwatersheds #forestscience #nrcansci
🔥Wildfires are growing in frequency and intensity worldwide. How do they affect the flow of carbon from forests into downstream waters? 🌳🌊 Our new paper @jgrbiogeo.bsky.social with @waterik.bsky.social @ecfreewoman.bsky.social now online to read: dx.doi.org/10.1029/2025... 🧵1/n
Dissolved organic matter concentrations were elevated in streams of the harvest relative to the control sites immediately after logging.
Logging changes the composition of the organic matter in nearby streams, making the organic matter more reactive. According to the authors, these changes are enough to flip logging from a carbon-sink to carbon-neutral or even a carbon-source. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...
Great story by about our research with @waterik.bsky.social. Read more 👉 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Don’t forgot a lot of funding from NRCan too!
We are so excited our newest paper led by @ecfreewoman.bsky.social @camplantsci.bsky.social is now out @pnas.org 🤩
Read it here: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
🌲 We followed a forest as it was logged to understand what happens to soil carbon at a molecular-scale. Here's what we learned. 1/n
Not always… or at least then, there are ongoing examples I know of directly where the term is being misapplied
Another year in the beautiful streams of Gaspesie. Maddie, Casey, and Emma spent several days setting up in-stream samplers and completing vegetation surveys… stopping only to cool off on the stream! #ecology #watershedscience #forestscience #nature #glfcscience #nrcansci @memorialu.bsky.social
Celeste has spent the last few weeks in the forests of NW Ontario as part of her PhD research with help from Antonin visiting as an intern from @insa-lyon.fr. Working with @waterik.bsky.social and others, she has been studying headwaters - where streams begin! 🌊
Today we had a catastrophic failure of expensive lab equipment, so to celebrate I thought I would post a picture of two buckets of ice packs. They never fail us.
Something exciting is coming to this shoreline. And it’s not the blackflies. @ecochangegroup.bsky.social #forestry #ecology #freshwaterecology #watershedscience #forestedwatersheds #forestscience #forestecology #nature #glfcscience #nrcansci
Sometimes I don’t even know what they’re up to in the lab 🤷♂️ #forestry #ecology #freshwaterecology #watershedscience #forestedwatersheds #forestscience #forestecology #nature #glfcscience #nrcansci

Eric is starting his Ph.D. @carleton.ca with interest in impacts of forest management on food webs & subsidies. Very excited to co-supervise with @dalalhanna.bsky.social #forestry #ecology #freshwaterecology #forestedwatersheds #forestscience #forestecology #nature #glfcscience #nrcansci
Casey is joining us for the summer on an FSWEP student position. She is a Sault College forestry technician student. Welcome Casey! #forestry #ecology #freshwaterecology #watershedscience #forestedwatersheds #forestscience #forestecology #nature #glfcscience #nrcansci
We are very happy to have Isabel join us on term! She has been working part time with us and has quickly become a valuable member of the team! #forestry #ecology #freshwaterecology #watershedscience #forestedwatersheds #forestscience #forestecology #nature #glfcscience #nrcansci
Some very exciting peatland research going on in Sudbury. After decades of amazingly successful forest restoration efforts, research is shifting towards the peatlands. Led by @mercury-ecohydro.bsky.social and others
Cameron will be starting a M.Sc. in the fall testing novel eDNA approaches to standardized stream biomonitoring, co-supervised by Dr. @b-a-edwards.bsky.social and myself. Welcome!@laurentianu.bsky.social #ecology #freshwaterecology #watershedscience #forestedwatersheds #nature #glfcscience #nrcansci
Mallory will be working with @b-a-edwards.bsky.social and myself this summer as an NSERC USRA based at @laurentianu.bsky.social Welcome Mallory! #ecology #freshwaterecology #watershedscience #forestedwatersheds #forestscience #forestecology #nature #glfcscience #nrcansci
🪱UF grad student Abigail Belchior is exploring benthic macroinvertebrates on the Ocklawaha River! Partnering with FL LAKEWATCH and @waterik.bsky.social, she’s using kick-and-sweep and Ponar grab sampling to study seasonal shifts in biodiversity, water quality, and habitat. Exciting insights ahead!🌿
What happens when 300+ scientists analyse the same data? Not the same answer! Lessons about staying open to alternate explanations, don't rush to judge, and potential for more than one "truth" in nature? 🤔 Grateful to contribute to this amazing initiative. Read it for free: doi.org/10.1186/s129...
