Scientists, it’s been a rough week. And honestly, we don’t lift each other up enough—especially when it comes to mental health. Our careers are built on repetitive rejection of papers, grants, and jobs. That doesn’t define you. You and your science are incredible. Just wanted to remind you of that.

We've been working hard the last 2yrs on engaging our community & bringing forward a new ec dev plan for @northcowichan.bsky.social . The recent month feels like all this work is about to be flipped upside down by Trumps administration. All levels of #canadian govt are affected. #bcpoli

My husband & I will fly our flag tomorrow. We carried it together for our trans son in two marches protesting transphobia. We live in rural BC and I have been afraid to fly it at our home. No more. I won't apologize or keep quiet about having empathy & respect. @bittersouth.bsky.social

A few phone cam 'sketches' while walking with our dog along part of the Cowichan Valley Trail. I want to start making film photographs for my #cowichanwinter project if the rain would only pause for long enough. Patience is a virtue...

Reporting takes twice as long as actually delivering outcomes. Often, reports have to be submitted via a terribly coded, not user friendly online form that won't let you save or paste from another doc. When you're ready to hit submit, bam, form deleted and you have to start from scratch.

Hybridization is too often an overlooked mechanism aiding the dispersal of invasive species. The right pairing and hybrid vigor gives us entirely new management challenges. For plants, knotweed comes to mind. www.iflscience.com/hybrid-pytho... #invasivespecies #ecology

As cute as they are, fledglings are also lazy and loud. They’ll sit in trees and yell until Mom or Dad shows with food. But their constant chirping also make them very easy to find! 😄 🦉🪶
