@TimWillers @BrandoVanHuizen There is a lot to do! I like that the story line isn't just linear and is open wold (yay side quests!). I also like the art but would have liked distinct biomes (the collectable plants could different in the forest, desert, and mountain areas).

I am looking for a Master's student interested in arctic/subarctic ecology that is relevant to northern communities. 🌿☘️🌱🏔️ Please help spread the word!

The 6th international Plant Functional Traits Course will be held in #Aurland, #Norway this summer! Participants will collect and explore trait data in the field and use trait-based approaches within global change and ecosystem ecology. Apply to join us at bit.ly/PFTC6-Norway

@TanyaS_08 Welcome to Canada!!!!!

Undertaking #peatland fieldwork this summer? Our project is looking at peatland phenology using smartphone photos - see information below if you'd like to get involved! You can fill out the google form here: forms.gle/YwAzxKL5mgXT8s… #PeatTwitter #PeatPicProject Please RT

@SeanMichaletz @UBC @sallobravo @W_FarfanRios @LICOR_ENV @BrianMaitner @audhalbritter @VVandvik @bjenquist oh good!! I am glad it made it back to you!!

This LI-COR 6800 finally made it home to @UBC after >11 months being #StuckInPeru following #PFTC5! Thanks @sallobravo & @W_FarfanRios for making this happen! Thanks @LICOR_ENV for helping with a replacement last fall! @TLGauthier @BrianMaitner @audhalbritter @VVandvik @bjenquist

This German Covid ad, now subtitled in English, is absolutely superb 👏 twitter.com/antoni_UK/stat…

4 reasons why Sphagnum is the next Halloween Monster: 1) You can cut it up in tiny pieces and spread it out and it will still grow back 2) It releases acid and slowly kills everything around it 3) It grows on to of its dead ancestors 4) Bog bodies!! Need I say more?

I watched a spider nab a grasshopper in a restored peatland in Quebec. @PeatlandECR #PeatTwitter #PeatECR

@HelanaDarwin @ClaricePerryman @AcademicChatter - objectives (they shape the entire paper) - rough intro - Methods - Figures - introduction - results - discussion - conclusion - references

@jazz_inmypants Cloudberries are also a lie!

@ScootJD @GeoRu @jeffwarburton8 @PeteOnPeat Out of the two options it looks more like S. fallax. S. fallax is found more in poor fens, in lawns. S. cuspidatum is found more submerged in bog and poor fen pools.

@GeoRu @jeffwarburton8 @PeteOnPeat Looks like Fallax but hard to ID without seeing it in person and without a hand lens. @TLGauthier what do you think?

@merrinm I also did this yesterday

Is leftover pumpkin pie an appropriate breakfast for somebody who sits in front of a computer all day? Asking for a friend…

Dear academics, I am looking for #postdoctoral positions in the #water field. My major field is about modeling #hydrological variables using brand-new time series models and data-driven techniques. I am open to work remotely or in your office. Please help me find the right team.

@n_ballist Never have I ever been so grossed out by a peat core. What is going on this peatland?!

I have no one in the lab so I have to keep sharing. Five cm further down. This is the grossest weirdest core ever. the black stuff feels gritty???

Fun fact, reindeer lichen coexists with sphagnum not just at the surface, but in this core appears to be intermingled all through the acrotelm. It also smells TERRIBLE

I think one of the hardest parts of lockdown is that it isn't a lockdown on everything. My lab mates have achieved AMAZING things since March but we haven't been able to celebrate them in the same way. A virtual goodbye in a lab meeting is not the same when someone graduates.

Day 3 #CYHScovidConf we are talking about science lessons learned. Since lockdown I have learned how important lab mates and lab culture are to me!! Science is so collaborative and I miss being able to roll my chair over and ask unending questions to my office mates.

@RagnhildGya I miss all of these things as well! Colleagues help us progress so much as people and as scientists!

@n_ballist @GhgLab @ScootJD @BrandoVanHuizen I miss our "coffee breaks" that somehow turn into multiple hours!

@TLGauthier @GhgLab @ScootJD @BrandoVanHuizen Missing all our peat rants and your infinite ID knowledge!!!

@Mjstoroz @avnimalh0tra Are the colours colorblind friendly? Colorschemedesigner.com can help with this!

More progress on the North America #soil #map! Got any suggestions?
