We had a paper accepted this morning that was in brain since 2016. I am an engineer by training, and never really understood what a catchment was. During my Ph.D. I heard this word, and watershed used a lot. Then, I learned these are topographically derived.
The Sharma Lab @YorkUScience is hiring a postdoc to assess whether the coastal areas of the northern shore of Lake Superior are vulnerable to algal blooms in response to climate change and nutrient enrichment. Apply by April 30. Ad here: sharmalab.wordpress.com/ Please share.
Nice to hear the story focusing on applications of marine eDNA on @InfoMorningCB this morning. Kellie White and I are also doing eDNA work at CBU (Biology) with a focus on freshwater mussels of conservation concern!
My wife screwed up and said the B word around my toddler and now he's running around the house yelling it. How do I stop this? What if he says it at daycare and the other parents think we're Bayesians?
Exciting opportunity to enhance capacity in Freshwater Science in Africa. The Africa chapter of SFS is happy to announce an online learning course around invertebrate taxonomy and biomonitoring, as well as transdisciplinary research!

Hey #JASM22, in light of rising COVID cases- how about giving people some more time to decide if they want to attend in-person/virtually? Would really help out parents with unvaxxed children or immuno compromised fam members!! @aslo_org@SWS_org@BenthosNews@NALMStweets@IAGLR
Today's blog (just a *wee* bit late): of all the ways to design undergraduate degrees, why is all of academia stuck on designing them along disciplinary lines?

I estimate that I have had around 9 doses of protection from tetanus in my life so far. Influenza? Around 20. Pertussis? Around 6. How many COVID vaccines will I take? As many as I need to keep myself and others safe. #VaccinesWork#COVID19AB#CovidIsNotOver
How many times do you take a course and wish you’d done it 20 years ago? If you’re a working scientist and ever wondered what life is like outside of your discipline’s traditional approach to “data science”, look no further…
