I'm giving a guest lecture on plasticity in algae in a few weeks. What neat things should I talk about? Let me know if you or someone you know is currently doing research in this area!

@da_lyons Smart kid 🥹

Six year old just volunteered herself to hep me make friends…”first you need to find people who like what you do….”

@CIEEICEE @ubcscience I dabbled with the idea of being a librarian once a upon a time; I loved the concept of preserving historical records to be read and used by future generations. Feeling grateful to find a position so perfectly suited to my interests. (2/2)

Over the moon excited that today is Day 1 of my new postdoctoral fellowship with @CIEEICEE Living Data Project, based at @ubcscience. This position encompasses so many of my passions – research, data science, teaching, and history. (1/2)

What’s a PhD defence day without your two year old waking up in the middle of the night sick 🤒 #momlife #phdlife

@BrackenLab Yes! Very similar. We installed a reciprocal transplant between regions (warmer vs. cooler) and then simulated a sub lethal heatwave two weeks prior to the PNW Heatdome in 2021.

@BrackenLab I did something similar for one of my PhD chapters, with a bit of a different setup.

PhD thesis submitted ✅ On to the defence!

Lessons from formatting my thesis: fix the citations when you FIRST download them into zotero

Just gonna drop this here for those who need a reminder which approaches have the greatest potential for net emissions reductions... from that controversial source, the IPCC (AR6 WG3 2022).

@CassKonecny Only the best of friends 😘

@sandraemry Proud of you!!!! ❤️ Amazing scientist + mom …. and you’re got the coolest kids. Heck you even keep time for friends! You are super!

I promise I’m not trying to eavesdrop 🫣but I overheard a man saying it’s near impossible to do a PhD & have kids at the same time. And that women should wait to have a family until we graduate. I had two kids during my PhD, in year 1 and year 3. (1/2)

@funnyfishes Ooh I meant defending in a couple months!

@sandraemry You’ve defended? Congrats!! 🎉🎉

I wrote my PhD acknowledgements and I am a puddle 🥺🫠💧 #gettingclose

@funnyfishes @BiologyUBC @UBCBotany Oh my goodness, I need everything that comes out of this wonderful class project

Pages from “When you give a mouse a #seaweed” – by two super-skilled Biol 320 students. Spoiler: this mouse likes to eat seaweed. Beautiful adaptation of the classic book “If you give a mouse a cookie”. 📕 @BiologyUBC @UBCBotany #phycologyfriday Shared w/permission

@polesasunder @FromPhDtoLife Which cookbook?

@FromPhDtoLife the author of my favourite cookbook!

I mentioned my favorite band in my PhD dissertation acknowledgments. Did you thank anyone or anything surprising in yours?

Anyone able to offer an online Java course, in English, free to a Ukrainian refugee? Yulia was a hydrologist in Ukraine until she had to flee. She is now cleaning houses to get by as she tries to teach herself Java, but needs a proper course. Please RT.
