1] My lab @mcgillu is recruiting students to conduct research on aquatic invasions, starting in Fall 2023. We offer 2 fully paid PhD & MSc positions. These are directed primarily at Canadians. Visit our website for more info: redpath-staff.mcgill.ca/ricciardi/rese….

Wow! @DrBirdCast projects HALF A BILLION BIRDS will be in the air tonight as they migrate south. Could be great birding for Saturday's #OctoberBigDay! Also great time to turn out nonessential lighting and check windows for bird safety: birdcast.info/science-to-act… #LightsOutTexas

We're looking for two tenure-track faculty: a marine phycologist and a plant physiologist. Come do science on the far north coast of California! careers.humboldt.edu/hm/en-us/job/5… careers.humboldt.edu/hm/en-us/job/5…

***MS/PhD position*** The Rivest lab is also recruiting a graduate student! Interested in invertebrates, physiology, and animal-environment interactions? Contact me to set up a meeting!

New paper in @PNASNews! We used 25 generations of exp. evol. in copepods under climate change to show that warming and acidification have a complex, synergistic genomic basis and impact on evolutionary rescue. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… @planktonomics @mpespeni @Baumannlab1

#PostdocAlert! We've got three great postdoctoral positions open. If you're working in #kelpforests, #eDNA, #environmentalchemistry, or #bluecarbon, come take a look. bigelow.org/careers

Come join our fantastic department at UNH! The search is for a tenure track aquaculture position.

@bolkerb @BenCAugustine Marine ecologist checking in here. I teach Intro Ecology!

My problem with quantitative ecology professor positions is that they almost always expect you to know and teach "regular" ecology. WTF! (I know this is *my* problem, not most quantitative ecologists')

@Tessa_M_Hill @SeaCitizens @DrewHarvell @baumlab @CascadeJBS I also vote for Pauly 1995!

Applications due Sept 1! Three year NSF-funded postdoc with me, @brantfaircloth & @DassanayakeLab. NIH-scale salary, retirement benefits, & faculty healthcare plan. Lots of opportunities for cross-training. Please spread the word and apply here: lsu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/LSU/job/A0309-…

@jebyrnes @algaebarnacle @DanaMorton Post recruitment mortality seems like a good bet here. Is Hemigrapsus abundant at the islands?

@chengsbrian @algaebarnacle @DanaMorton Oh, yes!

One thing I’ve noticed at the Harbor islands is how few whelks there are - but the ones I find (often on underhangs) are huge beasts. But last summer, I forgot to take pictures with a size standard! So here we go! @StoneLivingLab @YourIslandPark @EnvSchool

@jebyrnes @algaebarnacle @DanaMorton Sorry I mean failure of the recruits, not a lack of supply

@chengsbrian @algaebarnacle @DanaMorton I mean, they lay eggs, so, no? I’m guessing predation and size escape?

@jebyrnes @algaebarnacle @DanaMorton Interesting. Recruitment failure?

@algaebarnacle @chengsbrian @DanaMorton

Pre-Roe, I was 8 yrs old. I came home from school to find my Mom lying in a puddle of blood. She was weak & asked me to call a neighbor. She was miscarrying, but the embryo would not abort. For 48 hours, she bled while doctors transfused blood, waiting. Abortions were illegal.

@HeinekeMarcella @priyology Definitely hit him up. I still do to this day.

@AFredston Adobe Illustrator. Crap, I guess this means I’m old school.

Our department is hiring an Assistant Professor in fisheries, please spread the word! lsu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/LSU/deta…

Move fish, get out the way! Tl;dr- wind blows over eutrophic lake, thermocline gets pushed down, seesaws across the lake, hypoxic water moves up, fish move- all within a day, all in 7m of water. aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…
