    There are some incredible birds around right now, just outside your door. Birds Canada's Urban Program Coordinator, Andrés Jiménez, talks with CBC about the joys and challenges of winter birding in the city.

    (Also, for those of you who record seminars - consider offering those recordings back to the speaker! They can be really useful for future teaching, or even just self-reflection/improvement)

    Great reading list here! I’ve certainly been enjoying reading and learning more about urban evolution over the past year thanks to so many great colleagues pushing the field forward.

    Trying to ease into the crush of a busy new semester by breaking up the day with some outdoor activity. Perks of working from home again⛷

    Colleagues! As we enter another hectic semester, I have many recorded lectures on various urban ecology topics (plus a handful of recorded seminar talks on urban ecology/urban forestry/ecosystem services). Teach these topics and need a “guest lecture” in a pinch? Please reach out

    Instead of tweeting new year's resolutions, or spreading general assholery like some dried up profs, I'm gonna send out hope for your 2022. This year, I hope that you: 1) get to try a fancy new alcoholic (or non) beverage 2) have a slice of completely decedent cake

    But do not rage against those who are advocating, like you are, for climate action. We are all in this together.

    My hope for 2022 is that it brings great things for the climate movement. Love and rage, my dear ones. We are the Earth protecting herself.

    Great crash course in evolution here (can I just assign this thread for my first few weeks of intro evo-eco this semester 🤔)

    Evolution 101. 🧵 Mutations occur as chance errors in replication. They're just mistakes in copying. Most have no effect. Some are detrimental to the organism (or virus), a few may happen to be beneficial -- this depends on the environment.

    I’m sure I’ll continue to grow (and fail, and make mistakes) in my mentoring, but maintaining a supportive lab atmosphere where the lines of communication are open will always be a priority. Here’s to another pandemic semester 😬 for all the mentors out there - onwards!

    It’s so easy to dwell on mistakes and feel like I haven’t accomplished nearly enough as a new(ish) prof, but watching these students support one another, cheer each other on, and pick each other up through a very challenging few years has been *such* a bright light.

    Apparently it’s . Mentoring is without a doubt the hardest, and most rewarding part of being a prof (and where I continue to learn the most). So grateful for the trainees who’ve chosen to work with me and the positive lab atmosphere they’ve helped build.

    A truly delightful thread, particularly for those of us who have lived on both sides of the border and heard a lot of “wait, *what* did you just call that?”

    Canadian friends….what are the Canadianisms I need to learn? We’ve already covered pickerel and ‘snye’ this morning. I know about two-four, give’r, double-doubles and toques. What else do I need to know?

    If you look at the sheet, you can see that Quebec has conducted 2X more tests/capita than any other Canadian region since Nov 15, and its overall % test positivity is lower than the national average. Huh? Isn't QC doing worse than everywhere else? No.

    Slightly longer line right now, but still reasonable! We waited just over an hour. I was asked for faculty ID (or paystub), partner (also an educator) wasn’t asked for any proof. Go get those boosters 💉 💉 💉 💪🏼

    Educators in Montreal: Palais des congrès offers the third dose on a walk-in basis, too. Went tonight at 17:30. Very short line up. University ID indicating ‘staff’ was sufficient. They are open tomorrow 8:00-17:00!
