ive spent the last 2 yrs investigating what is killing BC white sturgeon
unfortunately, these deaths continue & we’ve had over 50 adult sturgeon die in the fraser river in the last ~6 weeks
every fish i sample is another step closer to solving the mystery🧪👩🏻🔬🌎🌐

This study marks the first genetic characterization of Atlantic sturgeon in the Restigouche region, and will hopefully aid to inform & support the future co-management of these living dinosaurs! 🦕

Hey science friends?
I know that many of you are concerned about the perceived neutral and apolitical role of science in decisionmaking.
But scientists are being targeted. We didn't start it.
And advocating *for the role of scientific evidence in policymaking* is not unprofessional advocacy.

One of the real problems is that too many people conveniently believe the opposite of diversity is merit, and the opposite of inclusion is high standards.
Yeah, that’s just not the case.

Earlier this year, Nature asked science-policy specialists which country is particularly good at ensuring science is factored into government decisions. The question mystified many respondents. Some of the responses were: “Not aware of any.” “None have enviable systems.” “Very hard to say.”
Advising governments about science is essential but difficult. So train people to do it
A great scientist doesn’t necessarily make an effective science adviser — but schooling and practice can help to bridge the gap.
