Finally preprinting some work from my postdoc with @gerlame and @adamTford! 🎉 We used an individual-based model to look at how grazers and browsers interact with landscape structure to shape resource heterogeneity.

Meeting with the broadcast crew- in less than 3 months this stadium will be full of athletes for World Jr/U23 Champs! (PS if you’re interested in volunteering as a course controller, I’m still trying to fill out my team - get in touch. It’s a big but fun commitment.)

So far only one applicant from within 🇨🇦. Not sure if I’m advertising at the wrong time, if folks don’t want to stay in 🇨🇦 for a PhD, or if I just have zero name recognition. But if you have suggestions for how to reach 🇨🇦 masters students contemplating a PhD, I’m all ears!
Reminder! There are two weeks left to apply for this PhD position on cross-ecosystem subsidies and stream ecosystem function. Fieldwork and geospatial modeling- does this sound interesting to you? Please share widely! Flexible start date in 2023. littleecologygroup.ca/join-u…

Many international students have applied, and that’s great, I may hire one of them- all applicants are welcome. I’m just surprised/curious at the seeming pattern of no interest from students already in Canada.

Well, fall (and rain) has returned to BC. Motivation to run is getting harder to find. What are your favorite rainy/cold-weather running clothes? Is there a jacket you particularly like that keeps you dry but doesn't drench you in sweat? What about gloves?

Seeking PhD student to join my lab @Cornell to work on eco-behavioral dynamics in coral reefs. NSF-funded work will use state-of-the-art field imaging and computational models to understand what drives ecological interactions in coral reefs. DM or email if interested.

We had a bit of a false start last time, but this week it's really happening! @SFU folks (and Vancouver area folks more generally), please join us Thursday (3:30 pm) to hear from Dr. Nathan Gillett about whether & how humans contributed to causing last year's floods.

If I owe you an email maybe just… keep waiting 😬
Before I moved to Vancouver I somehow thought every weekend might be like this. They aren’t. But it’s pretty awesome that *any* weekends are like this.

Note a typo pointed out to me: *PhD* students receive four years of funding. Only two years for masters students! But this position is a PhD position.
