Thanks very much to @FishOceansCAN for the long term support of this important program working to protect Pacific salmon. @aldermanlab @UofGResearch, @UofGNews, @UofG @IntUGrativeBiol
Today, on behalf of Minister Lebouhthillier, MP @LloydLongfield announced that #UofG researchers will receive nearly $1.5M in federal funding over 30 months from Fisheries and Oceans Canada under the Oceans Protection Plan program. Learn more: uoguel.ph/pdrk7
Job alert! 🚨 We're hiring a tenure track ecologist at Mount Royal University (in Calgary, Canada)! Come work with me (and all the other people here who I think are great)! mtroyalca.hua.hrsmart.com/hr/ats/Posting…
Assistant Professor opportunity in Integrative Organismal Biology, broadly interpreted, @ZoologyUBC. Come join a friendly, broad, and excellent community of folks interested in all aspects of animal biology. Views aren't bad either! 12 days left to apply! academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/28155
One of the oddities of academia is having two New Years: one in January and one in September. @csz_scz kicks off '24-'25 with an interview (bilingual!) with new student councillor @EE_Flatt of @lab_schulte. blog.csz-scz.ca/2024/09/04/mee… Credits to Alannah Grant & @KevinKDuclos

Super cool paper looking at mechanisms of plasticity
How can a species with low genetic diversity thrive in different thermal environments? Molecular Mechanisms of Temperature Tolerance Plasticity in an Arthropod, out @GenomeBiolEvol , by @TrineBilde and a huge cast of others! academic.oup.com/gbe/article/16…
Super pleased that my perspectives paper on the Fry Paradigm has now been published in the 50th anniversary edition of the Fish Physiology series! This link should give free access to the paper for the next 50 days kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2…
Please join us in welcoming UBC-Zoology’s newest TT-EL Faculty member: Stella Lee! 🙌 ✨ Stella will be primarily teaching BIOL 363 Animal Physiology @BiologyUBC Learn more about Stella: zoology.ubc.ca/article/welcom… @ubcscience
Great job by the graduate students who spent the day doing public outreach on our new data about the effects of road salt on salmon during early development. Spoiler alert - environmentally relevant exposures are super dangerous especially right after fertilization ☹️

Check out the outstanding artwork by @MadisonEarhart highlighting the comprehensive work on the thermal biology of killifish embryos by @tessablan11 Such a pleasure to work with this amazing team!

The funding in #Budget2024 was only possible due to the community surrounding us. We've scored a historic win for grad students & postdocs, ⬆️ financial aid, well-being & research focus. Thanks to everyone pushing for a brighter, inclusive future in research! #SOSBudget2024 🌟
#Budget2024 💰 makes the largest investment in 20+ years for grad students & postdocs! It will support financial needs, boost mental well-being, allow focus on research, & promote diversity by easing barriers for underrepresented groups. 🎉💪🏽#SOSBudget2024
Canada knows the importance of investing in research, but there haven't been any new investments in grad students and postdocs in over two decades. We're looking to Budget 2024 to fix that🤞#SupportOurScience
Our government will always support innovation and scientific research🔬 That’s why we’re investing $1.7B in 7,700 researchers & projects across 🇨🇦 in natural sciences, engineering, social sciences and the humanities! 🔗 Read about the announcement here:canada.ca/en/innovation-…
On #InternationalWomensDay, read about how newts in a jar uncovered the trailblazing first woman prof in @ubcscience Dr. Gertrude May Smith. Dr. Smith's daughter @UBCmedicine prof Dr. Muriel J. Harris is avail. to discuss her mother’s life and career. focus.science.ubc.ca/ubcs-trailblaz…
These brook trout fry (4 weeks post-hatch) have been incubated at +4C above ambient, which has ranged from 8-14C this winter season. We are now looking at larval CTmax and how varying winter thermal regimes impact thermal tolerance 🌡️
Very excited to see our paper featured in a great Outside JEB article called "Mangrove killifish are stressed for success" by @AMDichiera !🐠 Find it in the latest issue of Journal of Experimental Biology! @Co_Biologists journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…
