Going through old annual reports and theses at the Barrier Lake Field Station. Look what I found, @albrechts-h.bsky.social ☺️ 🌎

Spotted this lovely large boulder the size of a small boulder on a recent walk through Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park

The highs and lows of winter field work in the mountains

So many fails in this spam conference invite — among other things, it’s not every day that I get addressed as “Dear ” #AcademicSky

Unexpected consequence of working out for over a year: a stack of clothing (mostly pants, some sweaters) that no longer fits. Too tight in the thighs, waist, and forearms! Guess I will be clothing shopping in the new year! 💪😁

This discovery from a journal review invite is too good not to share. I checked out their site & they offer a "no quality compromised" expedited review process out of the goodness of their, uh, (checks notes) bank account, asking only an extra $30 USD. And I love the Gmail address they sniped 😆 🧪

On the occasion of International Mountain Day: mountains are the world’s “water towers”, supplying ~50% of the world’s population with fresh water, and have become my favourite place to play and conduct research

Woo, 4th row seats for Dan Mangan! #FridayNight

Hi David, all! 👋 I’m Steve and I’m a Professor at the University of Calgary. I also oversee the vision & mission of the Kananaskis field stations. My lab group & I study evolutionary & conservation ecology of aquatic vertebrates (+ microplastics) in Alberta, British Columbia, and the Yukon 🌎

Great view from the “office” today 🌎

I first started doing fieldwork a little over 32 years ago (!). Especially in the past two years — after essentially not being able to do any during the almost six years that I was an Associate Dean — I appreciate it more than ever ❤️ 🐟 🦫 🏔️

Alberta gets a bad rap (justifiably, in many instances), but it’s also home to some incredibly beautiful landscapes. Grateful that I get to live and work on these lands

I can haz yogurt? #dog
