McGill walkout of grad students and postdocs underway. We are calling for federal awards to be adjusted for inflation after 20 years! @DSP_SPE @SupportOurSci
Hey #SCAS_SCSA2023 attendees! Interested in learning more about sediment geochemistry, how we can measure it, and what it can tell us about lakes? Swing by Drummond West at 1:15 and let's talk about it! #scas2023
Roses Are Red Violets Are Blue We Love Our Lakes How About You? RT/Reply with a lake you love - bonus points for pics! #HappyValentinesDay #LoveYourLakes
Still time to register for the next @scas_scsa meeting in February 2023 **deadline for abstract submission and registration Nov 10th**. Consider submitting an abstract to our special session (SS7)! More info👇
#JPhycol Vol 58 Issue 5 Zilkey & Moser (2022) Diatom community composition on submerged macrophyte species from an Ontario (Canada) lake doi.org/10.1111/jpy.13…
Happy to see this paper finally out! We evaluated how lacustrine zooplankton diversity could be explored using shotgun sequencing. Shoutout to great networks of collaborators @LakePulse @GRIL_Limnologie onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ed…
an exciting career milestone: my first, first-authored paper from my MSc is accepted! Check out how epiphytic diatom communities vary among species of submerged macrophytes in an Ontario lake #Phycology #Diatoms @PSAAlgae doi.org/10.1111/jpy.13…
This weekend, I had a delicious, cold, red rhubarb cider after working out in the hot sun for hours. It was ALMOST as satisfying as @DFisman's replies to comments on his CMAJ paper. Well done. cmaj.ca/content/194/16…
My book is out today! "Nomads of the Sea" is a sprawling epic fantasy adventure. Check it out if you like worlds with strange creatures, where magic mingles with science, and everything is just a tad grimy and dark. amazon.com/Nomads-Sea-Fis… #sff #BookTwitter #WritingCommunity

Excited to share that my first paper out of graduate school is finally out. Thanks to @hildug , @paulstoy , @nlottig , and @profdesai. We were able to capture a pulse of methane as the lake ice melted, despite the start of a global pandemic. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…
Check out our preprint @biorxivpreprint on the congruence between zooplankton morphological and shotgun sequencing data in 22 lakes. Thanks to awesome @GRIL_Limnologie & @LakePulse collaborators: R. Gregory-Eaves @MelaniaCris69 @TRIXIEBB @david_a_walsh R. Garner and S. Kraemer

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via @thediscourse study. This isn’t just about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice. #citymakingmath
