Join us for a 30 min webinar next week on
The Inside Scoop: Science, Research & the 2025 Federal Election
This session will present key policy conversations on science & research going on in Canada. With the election approaching, learn where our parties stand and what's at stake.
Message from the Tri-agency Presidents: Granting councils transitioning to a new CV template science.gc.ca/site/science/e…
Workday this week: Time spent lining up numbers with our records = 2.5 DAYS; time need to sort out several MAJOR discrepancies = 0.5 days…3 full days x number of time per year I need to do this (3) = 9 days. That’s more than a full week lost to software that doesn’t work.
Now out by current @uOttawaScience, Jayna Bergman, and former @UofLArtsci student, @FinnKaegan! The geographic extent from which both background AND presences are sourced can have a BIG impact on SDM predictions and performance at the edge of the range!

We're hiring! @BiologieUdeM
is recruiting 2 Assistant profs in population genetics and quantitative genetics. Applications due Nov 1st. bio.umontreal.ca/departement…
Congrats!!
🎉Wow. 🎉
Thank you so much @mycorrhiza_ims 🙏
I would have never expected getting this when we started our lab 14 years ago @uOttawaScience
Special TY to current/past team members, and to the many colleagues who supported early our work dismantling paradigms on #AMF genetics
Does anyone have an NSERC funded student starting in the Fall? If so, have they heard anything about the new funding levels? My student’s letter states $17.5 (the old amount) and we haven’t heard otherwise…
Looking forward to reading this!
🥳My 1st PhD chapter is out in @NatureEcoEvo!! "Gaps and opportunities in modelling human influence on species distributions in the Anthropocene." I did a massive systematic review of >12k #sdm articles & found only 11% use human predictors in SDMs.😮 bit.ly/humsdm 🧵1/
It’s not too late to apply for this postdoc opportunity in my lab! Come join us!
Interested in using species distribution models to help with conservation prioritization? @jamesepaterson and I are looking for a post-doc for a new @DucksUnlimited project! Details here uploads.strikinglycdn.com/fi… (misc lab retreat photo for visibility). Pls share widely!
McGill branded for a night of Fowler’s toad surveys…Well this is different from my usual field forays.

Team Salamander welcomes @uOttawaScience co-op student, Ashley Smith, to our Alberta crew!
Happy Earth Day from hauntingly beautiful Waterton Lakes National Park. A place that has long inspired connection in me.
Welcome Dr. Juan Enciso-Romero who recently joined the lab as post-doc! Juan will be using genomic data to evaluate the impacts of #wildfire on #geneticDiversity and is working with others in the lab to evaluate #conservationUnits in 🇨🇦 amphibians. We are excited to have you!

What are my fellow faculty members who don’t have big fancy grants to boost non-award holders to the same level, planning on telling their current and incoming non-scholarship students this fall?
