Late intro to Bluesky- I'm Jake.

I'm a final-year PhD candidate at McGill U studying #ClimateChange, #RangeShifts, and #MarineConservation. Here to connect, chat science, and find an #RStats job post-PhD.

Heres me conducting seasonal subaquatic faunal surveys (read: ice fishing) in QC last month.
