@blackbellied Thanks!

Nice work @JonMee8

Just over 3 weeks left to apply! Do you need some reasons to think about applying to work at MRU? Here's a couple: 1) We value teaching 2) Small class sizes (max ~50 students, often ~16)

Job alert! 🚨 We're hiring a tenure track ecologist at Mount Royal University (in Calgary, Canada)! Come work with me (and all the other people here who I think are great)! mtroyalca.hua.hrsmart.com/hr/ats/Posting…

Turns out that Mount Royal University was just ranked 19th (out of 300) on Forbes' list of Canada's best employers! forbes.com/lists/canada-b…

The link to the job ad in my post is screwy - sorry folks. Here's a (hopefully) good one: mtroyalca.hua.hrsmart.com/hr/ats/Posting…

We're hiring a community ecologist (assistant professor) here at MRU. I enjoy working here. Maybe you (or someone you know) will enjoy it too! mtroyalca.hua.hrsmart.com/hr/ats/Posti...

I started my lab in 2005. The 1-year old I'm holding in this 2005 picture just finished his first year of Uni, and for my entire time as a prof and his entire life, the value of an @NSERC_CRSNG scholarship has not changed. This is appalling and miserly. #SupportOurScience

A mutation can be bad, good, bad and good, neutral, neutral and bad… and the fate of a mutation depends on chance, migration, location in the genome... 🤯😅 So, @sam_yeaman and I decided to do a study. With @mountroyal4u undergrad co-author Bryce! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

If you’ve been left dazed and confused by the past three years, you’re not alone. The policies that safeguard Alberta’s parks and protected areas have been subject to some pretty serious abuse – and when the hits just keep on coming, it’s hard to keep track of where we stand 🥴

Our thoughts on the #MoraineLake decision 🧵 Managing visitor use and traffic in the #LakeLouise area has been a growing challenge with no easy answers. On Friday, @ParksCanada announced that the Moraine Lake parking area will be closed to private vehicles 🏞

Are there any freshwater biologists out there who can tell me if it's reasonable to have found Spionidae (Polychaeta worms) in the diets of freshwater fish in Alberta, Canada? This is from metabarcoding... so could be misidentification?
