🚨 New Paper 🚨
Coauthors and I just published our work in PLOS One on Canadian graduate funding. We found that Canadian graduate funding falls _well_ below cost of living.
On average, $10kCAD below cost of living.

Safety and wellbeing during fieldwork has been recognised for decades as an issue for all kinds of reasons. Although we are still so slow in making any progress on this topic. It's never a priority and demands for change are resisted. An interesting recent update here undark.org/2025/04/17/o...

I greatly enjoyed visiting the Vagina Museum when I was in London last year!
The Vagina Museum is trans inclusive. We always have been and we always will be. As long as there's a Vagina Museum, we cannot be bullied or bought to change our stance on this.

The first paper of your PhD is always so exciting! 🤩 An all-#Galbatross effort, "A focus on females can improve science and conservation!" See press release (www.audubon.org/news/researc...) and the study here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...! #FemaleBirds #FemaleBirdDay
In Research, Ignoring Female Birds Harms Scientific Understanding
A new study shows that ecological research often ignores or excludes data on female birds and behavior, resulting in erroneous assumptions on conservation.
