Hi all! I've seen an uptick in follows from fellow Federal #Canadian #scientists over the last while, so I figured I'd create a starter pack!

In North America, animals living at the northern limit of their geographic distribution have developed creative adaptations for surviving cold winters.
Our latest study, soon to be published in Marine Ecology Progress Series, explores how juvenile oysters have adapted to winters in Atlantic Canada.

In Montreal for science policy meetings all week—my first time back here since 2017!
Two questions:
1. Who do I know still living in Montreal & would you like to grab a beer at some point? 🍻
2. Who wants to catch the Habs-Caps game with me Thursday night at & watch Ovi play before he retires? 🏒 🥅

Change Civic air filters ✅
Get winter tires on the Civic ⬜
Then to pack and head off to Montreal for the week—thankfully, the last bit of work travel until the new year.

During my PhD, I was fortunate to learn from & work with Dr. Thierry Chopin. While Thierry wasn't directly involved with my thesis, he was generous w/ his time & giving advice; we had many lasting conversations about marine biology, climate change, life as a marine scientist, &, of course, seaweeds.

A nice news story from the DFO NCR Communications Team in Ottawa on our paper showing that heatwaves exacerbate the ecological effects of nearshore fishing.

Oxygen supersaturation has been reported to protect aquatic animals from heat waves. We tested this in a large collaborative experiment on many species of fish and crustaceans. Our new paper in @plosbiology.org shows that the effect of hyperoxia on thermal tolerance is negligible. Unfortunately.

It's been a ton of fun reconnecting with my naturalist roots this summer and contributing our backyard biodiversity data to iNaturalist.org.
I've documented at least 670 species on our property since May; nowhere near a complete inventory & a highly biased sample of what's actually here.
