(1/2) Defended my PhD thesis yesterday!🍾Thank you to @jocelynpoissant, Philip McLoughlin and countless other academic mentors for their support over the years. Thanks also to the exam committee and the numerous students and techs that have made the @SI_Horses project possible.

Oh hey, that's me!

Congratulations @charlottebrbn for winning best poster presentation at CSEE 2023! Amazing job for your first conference!!! #beepeg2023

Thank you to the @GSACalgary Quality Money Program for supporting the project!

It's been such a great experience working with everyone on this initiative!

Late to the party, but really enjoyed showing some high school students what the @SI_Horses project is all about at @UCalgary Discovery Days. Maybe the next generation of @jocelynpoissant lab members??Next stop, Leadership Forum with @TheGradCollege

The Styrofoam Recycling Project is recruiting students to lead the program! Be part of the team to increase accessibility to Styrofoam recycling stations, learn to manage a sustainability-focused project, and develop communication and outreach skills. Learn more in the graphics!

Yesterday, I had the chance to share about the amazing research we do for @SI_Horses during Discovery Day in Health Sciences. What an amazing experience it was to teach high school students about #parasites and #horses! @HPI_network

@isla_botting Made an AMAZING video chronicling the start to the 2022 @SI_Horses Field Season. Give it a watch to get a glimpse into the struggles of getting to #SableIsland. Spoiler alert: we get delayed getting on the island 🙃 youtube.com/watch?v=jqicc2…

My last evening on #SableIsland conducting #fieldwork for @SI_Horses ended with a beautiful #sunset painting the sky pink. It's been a blast! #horses #research #ecology

A #SableIsland #sunrise to finish off the 2022 field season! Our crew will be leaving the island soon, with another year's worth of samples and #data to add to the long-term #horse study! #research #fieldwork #ecology

We get to see some very cute #horses while conducting surveys! This #foal kept bothering his sister for attention.

Rainy days means #baking cookies for the @SI_Horses crew! Snacks to take during #fieldwork surveying #horses on #SableIsland. Peanut butter cookies! What a luxury it is to have access to baking ingredients and facilities in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean!

We may focus our #fieldwork on #horses, but there's so much #biodiversity on #SableIsland that deserve recognition. This thread is dedicated to the non-horses of Sable Island! (1/8)

She may not look it, but Constellation is one of the oldest #horses on #SableIsland! She has unique facial markings and a swayback that makes her easily identifiable. #fieldwork #research #ecology

Only a few people get to see the #sunset on #SableIsland. The colours were extra dramatic last night! The perks of #fieldwork!

A team photo before some crew members leave the island! After weeks of #hiking and collecting data, Anastasiia, @Chlo3_Cook, and @IhncheolJ left #SableIsland yesterday! @isla_botting, @Micky_Ahn, and @RRachel_Reed get to wrap up the next half of the season!

@KutzLab @SI_Horses Harvesting stronglye L3s! Am I correct in assuming that's your set up is a form of Baermann technique?

Harvesting #parasite larvae for @SI_Horses. Flipping glass cups full of poop and water! Such a unexpected, simple, but elegant technique. Look at all the worms swimming out! #sciencepoop #research #fieldwork
