YouTube video by CTV News Studies on breast milk in Manitoba

ICYMI, two #UWinnipeg professors were on @ctvnewswinnipeg.bsky.social Your Morning yesterday as part of a @researchmb.bsky.social showcase!

Dr. Sanoji Wijenayake discussed human milk nanovesicles.

We face two potential missteps in ecophysiology: 1) measuring animals under socially unrealistic conditions & 2) extrapolating results to nature, where social dynamics alter trait expression, plasticity, & evolutionary outcomes. Our new commentary in @jexpbiol.bsky.social : doi.org/10.1242/jeb....

Stress in Female Lake Trout (Salvelinus namaycush) Before Spawning Alters Offspring Cortisol and Growth Catch-and-release angling (C&R) is a conservation strategy that assumes released fish survive and contribute to populations. However, C&R stress, particularly during spawning, may impact reproductive...

Neat. A PDF from my lab shows stress axis is altered in lake trout offspring after their moms are treated as if caught and releases. doi.org/10.1002/jez....

Confused writing is usually a symptom of confused thinking. As we struggle to clarify writing, we clarify our thoughts. AI writing aids rob us of that struggle, leaving clean-looking text and thoughts still confused for lack of inspection. Writing is not just a product; it is a diagnostic tool.

Would solar dimming also reduce rate of oxygen production from marine algae…though, the pH would mess a lot with that, too. Isn’t the Anthropocene grand!

Every year I fund a small award for science graduates at my very small town high school. It honours the person who made me love the sciences and particularly biology. She was a fantastic teacher just by being human and talking to us country bumpkins like we mattered and could be something more

A novel approach to fish aging in the Anthropocene.

Opinion: With the school year over, remembering teachers Over the past few years, there has been considerable debate in these pages about how we should grade students. Yet there has been little debate on what those students are (or should be) learning, or w...
