Honored. Excited. A little terrified. All the good feelings today! #guggenheimfellowship2022

We're hiring!! Looking for a postdoc to build new Canada-specific maps and models of ecosystem services (ES), and will test how these maps can answer a variety of research, management, and policy questions as part of @NSERC_ResNet. socialecologicalworkshop.com/opportunities-1

This is terrible. It’s too bad when we have great students who want to join us but can’t for bureaucratic delay reasons.

We @BernhardtLab are recruiting grad students for 2024 (fully funded positions! Living wage!) on topics related to adaptation to global change and connections between biodiversity and human well-being See: bernhardtlab.org/join-us Grad ad: bernhardtlab.org/s/grad-student…

We would like to congratulate @KiirstiO on her successful conference season 👏 What conferences did you present at this fall? #HQPhighlight

Hosted by @ElenaBennett of the BSE and NRS @mcgillu

Last year one our very own @hamiltonjac gifted us with this creative representation of our working landscapes. Has your research environment inspired any creative works lately?

Very pleased to see the Volvo Environmental Price laureate this year - a scholar that I greatly admire and appreciate! Congratulations Edu! environment-prize.com/laureates/edua…

Congratulations @eiangee @LarikisTrikis Kate Sherren, @ElenaBennett @jeremy_lundholm Gordon Hickey, Emily Hodgson, @KeahnaMargeson @parianashta & Polly Nguyen on the workshop report publication! A tremendous example of the cross-network research at ResNet escholarship.mcgill.ca/concern/report…

In academia, a new study finds that early career men often move jobs because they feel 'pulled' towards a better opportunity: but for women, it's the opposite. "Most left because they felt pushed out," as @waterbarnes explains here: science.org/content/articl…

Another important commentary led by @TobiasKuemmerle: "Tackling the root causes of biodiversity loss, protecting any remaining habitat, making conventional farming more biodiversity-friendly, & restoring degraded ecosystems all need to happen in parallel." nature.com/articles/d4158…

"We need to reform the global food system" to "simultaneously serve multiple sustainability goals, including biodiversity conservation, climate-change mitigation and human well-being": A commentary today in @Nature, led by Jörn Fischer, with @ElenaBennett nature.com/articles/d4158…

Yes! Convention defying times ahead!!

Cannot wait. It is going to be interesting, exciting, thought-provoking, and overall fun!! Hoping to see you all there.
