Had a great time at the Colloque conjoint en écotoxicologie du Chapitre Saint-Laurent et d'EcotoQ 2025 🧪🐋 Thanks to those that stopped by my poster! Excited to dive deeper into this project over the coming months🌊 #marinemammal #conservation #womeninstem

Fields of plastic: gulls obtained plastic from farmland as often as the ocean, challenging our original assumptions that plastics are a marine problem.

A new paper out by an excellent team, led by @mcgilluniversity.bsky.social undergrad Sofia Higgs.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉

Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace.

You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

My first paper is officially online! This is the result of my bachelor’s thesis at McGill- 2 years in the making! We assessed changes in plastic exposure over the breeding season using herring gull pellets from the St. Lawrence.

Here is our latest paper on plastic debris in herring gulls in the St. Lawrence led by Sofia Higgs. We found that plastic occurrence is linked to breeding stage.
