Wow! 1/3 of US lakes in no joke. Excited to read in more detail. Congratulations to the authors on an important piece of work.

Wow. Excited to think about if/how this plays with biological function and (modifiable?) environmental condition arcinstitute.org/manuscripts/... πŸ§ͺ 🦠 πŸ”¬ βš—οΈ

What separates life from death? Mary Shelley once wrote: "To understand life, we first need to understand death". In this movie, we see how a single-celled organism dies. The same matter in both pictures. It is not the same state or the same integrated complexity. youtube.com/watch?v=4bj6...

If Canadian universities had a bit of vision, they would be launching a Manhattan project to poach every US-based top researcher. And the federal government would be drastically expanding tri-council funding and creating an expedited review process for those holding NSF and similar grants.

The early-career success of academic researchers is better predicted by their publication record during their postdoctoral years than by where they obtained their PhD, according to a study of 45,572 academic careers worldwide. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Is this thing on

So important to talk about this; especially when the knowledge exchange is about navigating the gaps where women fall unnoticed (a lot) by systems, but not by each other. #WomenInAcademia #WomenInSTEM #WomenInScience Academia and academic leadership ought to include women? Right? Lets listen.

Things are changing and as academics, we will have to adapt. How can we strategically position ourselves to leverage these new tools to ensure our work continues to me maximally valuable to our own community and society? πŸ§ͺ🌎🌐#WetSci www.pnas.org/doi/full/10....
