Honored. Excited. A little terrified. All the good feelings today! #guggenheimfellowship2022
Today's the day! Congratulations to our new class of Fellows. These 180 individuals represent 51 fields of study. We're honored to give them the opportunity to pursue their passions under the freest possible conditions. #guggenheimfellowship2022 Read more: gf.org/news/foundation-news/…
We're hiring!!
Looking for a postdoc to build new Canada-specific maps and models of ecosystem services (ES), and will test how these maps can answer a variety of research, management, and policy questions as part of @NSERC_ResNet. socialecologicalworkshop.com…

This is terrible. It’s too bad when we have great students who want to join us but can’t for bureaucratic delay reasons.
Well, tomorrow is the last day for my potential China Scholarship Council student to receive his study permit. He's been waiting for more than a year! It's a real embarrassment for me at @mcgillu. Perhaps @CitImmCanada can help!

Last year one our very own @hamiltonjac gifted us with this creative representation of our working landscapes. Has your research environment inspired any creative works lately?

In academia, a new study finds that early career men often move jobs because they feel 'pulled' towards a better opportunity: but for women, it's the opposite. "Most left because they felt pushed out," as @waterbarnes explains here: science.org/content/article/…

Another important commentary led by
@TobiasKuemmerle: "Tackling the root causes of biodiversity loss, protecting any remaining habitat, making conventional farming more biodiversity-friendly, & restoring degraded ecosystems all need to happen in parallel."

"We need to reform the global food system" to "simultaneously serve multiple sustainability goals, including biodiversity conservation, climate-change mitigation and human well-being":
