Let me introduce myself. I'm a professor @usask.bsky.social at the University of Saskatchewan. My group works on invasive wild pigs, caribou, wolves, and other beasties. I take the responsibility of my academic freedom very seriously and use it and good science to hopefully have some influence.

Watson: great scientist, piece of shit human.
Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

Great play by play from JP Tasker of last night’s theatre. At least the NDP caucus was honest about the quandary they faced and the strategy they chose. The CPC cannot say the same. #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

So Andrew Scheer did not vote on the budget motion in the House of Commons today, November 17, 2025.
He was present in chamber but it is rumored he couldn't figure out if his vote could be aimed specifically at Trudeau somehow.

On this day sixteen years ago I got my letter of offer from the University of Saskatchewan for my faculty position and my life changed dramatically in all kinds of ways. Best professional decision of my life. I wouldn't say its always been easy, but the cold never bothered me anyway.

A shorter snout is one of several physical traits linked to domestication. Using almost 20,000 raccoon photos from iNaturalist, researchers found that urban raccoons' snouts were 3.5% shorter than rural ones.

I was just at the hardware store and asked what I could use to get get rid of really bad stains.
The person said 'ammonia cleaner'
So I replied - oops sorry I thought you worked here.

I've been uploading species occurrences into iNaturalist for a few years now with a primary focus on the Hudson Bay coastal area in Manitoba.
If you have some free time I would appreciate your help confirming species identifications- plants, mammals, bugs, all kinds of fun stuff.
