Dr. Julia K. Baum

For the right person, this is a once-in-a-lifetime unicorn dream job.

Proud, as always, of our amazing Kelp Rescue (@kelprescue.bsky.social ) team. 4 years in the making, our 1st kelp restoration publication is out! 🎉🎉🎉

Onwards! @uvic.ca BMSC. Thanks to all our funders, especially Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) 🇨🇦

A tremendous and tragic loss for her family and friends, the conservation community, and the wild bees. 🐝
Rest in peace Sheila.

Wow.

Could underwater kelp forests offer a natural climate solution?

New research from @baumlab.bsky.social & @jennmchenry.bsky.social offers a tentative yes, finding that Canadian kelp forests may export 40,000 - 400,000 metric tons of carbon to the deep ocean each year.

1/ Just in time for #WorldOceanDay:

Check out our new study in #npjOceanSustainability taking critical first look at whether Canada's kelp forests can be a source of natural climate solutions.

We offers a blueprint for other countries looking to do the same.

New paper alert! We combined modern ecology, archaeology, and a palaeontology technique of examining crab 🦀 claw marks on their clam prey to examine how these shellfish populations have changed over 3000 years.

Deeply disheartened to learn. We had just hosted @meadekrosby.bsky.social @uvic.ca last month & learned more about the impactful solutions-oriented work they did. This is devestating news and underscores the Trump administration's lack of understanding about climate change and communities' needs.

About time. And here’s our letter of support from one society north of the border: csee-scee.ca/current-bull...

One week to get your applications in for our Blue Carbon Canada positions! Come join a collegial productive team with @taragmartin.bsky.social Sara Knox, Mary O’Connor, Graham Clark, me and our stellar set of PDFs and grad students! 🇨🇦 🌊 #dreamteam

En ce Jour De la Terre, la SCEE souligne le travail remarquable des écologistes et biologistes évolutifs du Canada, qui œuvrent à comprendre la vie sur Terre et à conserver, préserver et restaurer les écosystèmes d’un océan à l’autre, ici comme ailleurs. Merci de poursuivre ce travail essentiel !🌎

On this #EarthDay, CSEE recognize the amazing work Canada’s ecologists and evolutionary biologists are doing to understand life on Earth, including how to conserve, preserve and restore our environment from coast to coast to coast in Canada and beyond. Keep up the great work!🌎 #EarthDay2025

Hard to believe it is coming to this. A US travel warning to all university researchers in Canada... the vast majority of whom have ongoing collaborations with people in the US, have field work in the US, and/or attend meetings in the US to share their work.

Given the rapidly evolving political landscape in the United States and reports of individuals encountering difficulties crossing the border, CAUT strongly recommends that academic staff travel to the U.S. only if essential and necessary.

Glad to see the Canadian Society for Ecology & Evolution (@csee-scee.bsky.social) speak up in support of science!

csee-scee.ca/current-bull...

This letter focuses on attacks on scientific integrity & science in the U.S.A. Similar things happened and still happen elsewhere.

Speak up. Stand up.

A shout out to the millions who marched in the United States for democracy and against fascism. Taking back the country is going to be a long and hard struggle but it has begun.
From Canada we say: #elbowsup

So sorry. Hang in there. Crowds today were encouraging.

To all the Americans in the streets today. This Canadian sees you and thanks you 🙏

@ecologicalsociety.bsky.social @asn-amnat.bsky.social @agu.org

The Canadian Society for Ecology and Evolution @csee-scee.bsky.social stands in solidarity with scientists in the U.S. Science is not a partisan issue. We all rely upon and benefit from it. Read our statement here:

Canada proud 🇨🇦

It’s collaborative research that can’t be done without Canadian expertise and benefits us all. Science in the 21st century is a team sport. Happy to chat if you’d like to understand more.
