I am honoured and delighted to announce that I will be joining the Department of Biology at McMaster University as an Assistant Professor starting in July 2023! @McMasterU @McMasterScience!

Hudson Bay polar bears are ready to head back to the sea ice & catch up (really just catch) with a few seals. Some cooler temperatures now so that bodes well. Many bears will have depleted their energy stores (using ca. 1 kg/day) so they need to start feeding again soon.

Despite giving talks around the world and publishing 65 peer-reviewed papers, Tamzin Blewett is most proud of getting other people interested in water sustainability, in order to have “a larger impact than just the science I’m producing myself.” buff.ly/40twvwz #top40yeg

Brutal decision - without any proper consultation. Won't speed up traffic but rather make roads slower & more dangerous for cyclists and motorists. Also great cities like Paris and London are installing more bike lanes and are better than ever while Toronto goes backwards.
NEW: As first reported by Global News, the Ford government has begun the process of removing bike lanes from three Toronto streets: Yonge st., Bloor St., University Ave.

New polar bear paper. Largely confirmation of what we thought. Evolution & species divergence is less like a tree & more like a vine: lots of intertwining over time until new species can't produce viable offspring. Polar bears & brown bears haven't been separated long enough yet.
Thank you for featuring my research!

Hudson Bay polar bears are waiting for sea ice. Churchill is cooling now but freeze-up will be a fair ways off. The bears are using up ca. 1 kg (2 lb) of body mass/day while fasting. Most bears were in good shape this year so it's looking good (if freeze-up comes soon).

Two days ago, a 10-year old Black child was brutally scalded with boiling water by a Quebec woman while he walked by her home. I don’t see people condemning this vile act or those in government making solidarity statements.
Where is the outrage?
Racism is alive & well in Canada.

Fellow isotopists, I have just learned that Keith Hobson has passed away. I can’t possibly express how sad I feel. Keith was such a great person and scientist. He turned stable isotope based methods into one the most important and influential tools in ecology research.
RIP Keith.
