Extinction of experience among ecologists
Fieldwork-based research and education in ecology are under multiple threats and are progressively declining. We call for greater attention to this ongoing loss of direct field experience within the ecology community, as it could have widespread consequences for science and education, ultimately hindering efforts to address the ongoing biodiversity crisis.

For the 4th year in a row, my all-sky camera has been taking an image of the sky above the Netherlands every 15 seconds. Combining these images reveal the length of the night changing throughout the year, the passage of clouds and the motion of the Moon and the Sun through the sky. #astrophotography

This graph speaks volumes to the pride Atlantic Canadians take in their sovereignty. From Churchill Falls to the cod fishery to our s91 rights, our autonomy is something that Atlantic Canadians must heretofore refuse to barter

"It’s easier to write off meat alternatives as weird and synthetic than it is to reckon with the environmental and ethical degradation of animal agriculture."
You’re being lied to about “ultra-processed” foods
Coverage of the latest nutrition buzzword is overly broad, arbitrary, and wildly misleading. The problem goes deeper.

Another cool lobster from last summer. This pale blue critter moulted while a summer student was talking to a bunch of tourist about the genetics of lobster colour. You can see the shed exoskeleton to the right. #invert

There is a small public aquarium in the research facility that I operate. When local harvesters find something interesting in their traps they often bring it to us to display. Here is one of last summer's critters. I've seen several lobsters split 50:50, but this 75:25 critter is new to me. #invert
