I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

PM Carney’s plan to slash 30k public service jobs should concern everyone in Canada.
These reckless cuts will impact the critical services that people rely on.

Earlier this week we were lucky to get a visit from Scott, the OG field tech that was with us until his retirement in 2023. We miss his amazing efficiency and unprecedented work ethic daily but it was nice to see him at least! #ecology #freshwaterecology #forestedwatersheds #forestscience #nrcansci

🔥Wildfires are growing in frequency and intensity worldwide. How do they affect the flow of carbon from forests into downstream waters? 🌳🌊 Our new paper @jgrbiogeo.bsky.social with @waterik.bsky.social @ecfreewoman.bsky.social now online to read: dx.doi.org/10.1029/2025... 🧵1/n

Dissolved organic matter concentrations were elevated in streams of the harvest relative to the control sites immediately after logging.
Logging changes the composition of the organic matter in nearby streams, making the organic matter more reactive. According to the authors, these changes are enough to flip logging from a carbon-sink to carbon-neutral or even a carbon-source. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...

🌲 We followed a forest as it was logged to understand what happens to soil carbon at a molecular-scale. Here's what we learned. 1/n
Not always… or at least then, there are ongoing examples I know of directly where the term is being misapplied

Another year in the beautiful streams of Gaspesie. Maddie, Casey, and Emma spent several days setting up in-stream samplers and completing vegetation surveys… stopping only to cool off on the stream! #ecology #watershedscience #forestscience #nature #glfcscience #nrcansci @memorialu.bsky.social

Celeste has spent the last few weeks in the forests of NW Ontario as part of her PhD research with help from Antonin visiting as an intern from @insa-lyon.fr. Working with @waterik.bsky.social and others, she has been studying headwaters - where streams begin! 🌊

Today we had a catastrophic failure of expensive lab equipment, so to celebrate I thought I would post a picture of two buckets of ice packs. They never fail us.

🪱UF grad student Abigail Belchior is exploring benthic macroinvertebrates on the Ocklawaha River! Partnering with FL LAKEWATCH and @waterik.bsky.social, she’s using kick-and-sweep and Ponar grab sampling to study seasonal shifts in biodiversity, water quality, and habitat. Exciting insights ahead!🌿

What happens when 300+ scientists analyse the same data? Not the same answer! Lessons about staying open to alternate explanations, don't rush to judge, and potential for more than one "truth" in nature? 🤔 Grateful to contribute to this amazing initiative. Read it for free: doi.org/10.1186/s129...
