“Canada is such a northern country, don’t we want a little global warming?” I often hear. In a nutshell, NO. We’re warming 2x faster than the rest of the world, driving extreme heat, flood, and sea level rise we are not prepared for. The wildfire season started in Feb this year. Feb! #canadaday

green and not so green - regrowing forest after bark beetle event - student field trip #BlackForest

prework swim

lots of water in the lake Constanze - and more thunderstorms to come..... birdwatching can get a bit difficult in some places now (but also rewarding)

what do you do with your genetic/genomic data ? check out our article 🧪

Check out our new article in Nature Ecology and Evolution rdcu.be/dISZk After repurposing genetic and genomic data, we found several shortcomings with current archiving practices. In this paper we discuss file format standards, key metadata, and more, that could improve genetic data reuse-ability

interested if conservation works? This study gives for the first time evidence on a large scale - and at the same time asks for more input to stop the biodiversity crisis. 🧪🦤 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The positive impact of conservation actionwww.science.org Governments recently adopted new global targets to halt and reverse the loss of biodiversity. It is therefore crucial to understand the outcomes of conservation actions. We conducted a global meta-analysis of 186 studies (including 665 trials) that ...
