Hung this up after returning from #CSEE2025 @csee-sceemtgs.bsky.social and starting another day of adminis-trivia.
I have no idea how to navigate the portal for approving a purchase order. Such a pain in the a$$.
Many thanks to CJFR Associate Editor Dr. Cathy Cullingham and @facetsjournal.bsky.social co-Editor-in-Chief Dr. Fanie Pelletier for co-hosting our workshop on performing peer review with @cdnsciencepub.com journal development specialists at #CSEE2025 last week in Sherbrooke, QC
Lastly (I said just a few #CSEE2025 highlights, right...?)
💫 Rich discussions about how science can inform #conservation, and vice versa. Great deal of interest in partnering with @ncccnc.bsky.social and other ENGOs, community groups, gov'ts, etc.

💫 Participating in @sweeet-ecoevo.bsky.social with speakers

* Dr. Shelby Bohn, @ualberta.bsky.social: www.shelbybohn.com
I learn a ton at #SWEEET. Insightful, constructive, tough yet kind.

💫 Prof. @widowweb.bsky.social plenary “‘I don't think of you as Black’ and other Misconceptions about Equity, Merit & Systems Change” for her 2024 CSEE President’s Award for Societal Engagement.
An extraordinary talk. Highly recommended! More: www.maydianne.ca

Outstanding #CSEE2025 plenaries by recipients of @csee-scee.bsky.social's President's Awards:
💫 Prof. @elenabennett.bsky.social’s plenary “Measuring what Matters: A social-ecological systems ecologist's perspective” (2025 CSEE President’s Award for Research Excellence).

💫 Cheering on Lily Charles, a masters student @uottawa.ca, to present her research!
Lily works with @hkharouba.bsky.social, @ncccnc.bsky.social, & ECCC to study monarch butterflies, including whether habitat restoration has made a difference...
Stay tuned for Lily's blog post for NCC. #CSEE2025
A lot happens during a busy conference, so I'm only sharing a few highlights #CSEE2025:
💫 Cheering on Amy Wiedenfeld (member of @ncccnc.bsky.social's Weston Family Conservation Science Fellowship Program & @ulethbridge.ca PhD candidate) to give a talk. See thread below!

#CSEE2025 had:
Clearly identifiable Local Organizing Committee members on-site --> all wearing unusual pink tshirts.
Doing so helps attendees to quickly find someone to answer Qs, find various rooms, etc. Different coloured lanyards don't cut it in big groups...
#CSEE2025 had:
An on-site photographer to take headshots. Free for participants and sign-up preference given to early-career folks.
Having a recent, crisp headshot helps make a good impression, useful for media, websites, etc. But not everyone has access to it.
Again, an equity issue!
#CSEE2025 had:
Asked the conference centre to arrange a designated, covered area for people to eat *outside*.
We spend so much time indoors... Research shows that even 15 min outside is good for us!
This practice is inclusive & equitable, incl for people wearing masks at indoor events (like me).
Equilibrium - is it a thing? Jury's still out according to the sticker poll on my poster at #CSEE2025! Stay tuned for the paper!
Fantastic presentation, and really cool analysis of our community! #CSEE2025
I finally got to meet Dr Eckert - just in time apparently, not only in terms of retirement but I was one of the last to stop by the poster as it was being dismantled. Scored some amazing creative trading cards 😍 #CSEE2025

Another great @csee-sceemtgs.bsky.social in the books! My 10th, and it just keeps getting better. Special thanks to @ilafores.bsky.social and Jérémy Fraysse for organizing a great symposium with so many fabulous colleagues! #CSEE2025

Great #CSEE2025 meeting @csee-scee.bsky.social in Sherbrooke! Thank you @csee-sceemtgs.bsky.social -- Canadian E&E is a fantastic community! Super proud of lab members for stellar (award winning!) talks and poster! And the most creative swan-song poster by my colleague Chris Eckert!
I had the opportunity of presenting the first preliminary results of my project this week at #CSEE2025, which we hosted in Sherbrooke. I’m extremely grateful to have met amazing researchers and fellow students, most of which, love frogs as much as I do 🐸.
This week I had the opportunity to represent Université de Sherbrooke at #CSEE2025, presenting my research on Eastern chipmunk behaviour and life-history.
I am honoured to have been able to attend, and discuss the future of ecology and evolution with both new and old colleagues and friends.
Well, that's it for #CSEE2025 - about to hit the road home. Fabulous meeting - thanks @csee-sceemtgs.bsky.social, now you can get some rest! Great science, good friends, and our society @csee-scee.bsky.social ROCKS.
See you next year in Toronto for #CSEE2026!
I had a great time attending #CSEE2025 in Sherbrooke this week. I'm very proud of the scientists on our team that presented our research. Thank you to @csee-scee.bsky.social and @csee-sceemtgs.bsky.social for organizing this meeting of Canadian ecology and evolution researchers.
In case you missed my talk at #CSEE2025, you can explore your own collaborative networks and see a little summary on my website!

Microbiome breeding can be unpredictable!
