An image of Dr. Rachael Morgan from the University of Bergen starting her talk titled "Physiological and behavioural responses of fish to fluctuating environments".
On the left there is a roll up banner stand that says "RE Peter Biology Conference: Highlighting Undergraduate and Graduate Student Research, Edmonton, Alberta". On the right there is a board with the schedule and notices from the conference.
It was great to see so many wonderful talks and presentations at the RE Peter Biology Conference last week hosted by @ualberta.bsky.social!
In particular, the keynote by @rachaelmorgan.bsky.social on how temperature and oxygen changes can impact fish was fascinating! ๐

Dylan lying down in a quinzhee shelter made of snow for a casualty to rest in.
Supplementary material for the first aid course, including a handbook, registration form, pocket first aid guide and a booklet with additional material such as knit tying.
Dylan wearing multiple wound dressings, bandages and plasters after learning how to treat different types of wounds.
Four people carrying a mannequin casualty on a stretcher through the snow.
This week I have been busy on an extensive Wilderness First Aid course to feel better prepared for my upcoming fieldwork โ๏ธโ๏ธ
My favourite parts of the course were learning how to build (and move) a fire from scratch, and making a quinzhee shelter out of snow as a shelter for casualties! โบ
Jackie stood at the front of a room presenting her research. In the foreground you can see audience members and next to Jackie is a large screen showing her slides. The slide in this picture shows two graphics from a paper Jackie published in PNAS in 2022 about how diapausing beetles reversibly suppress their metabolism.
Last week I saw @jackielebz.bsky.social give a fantastic talk at @ualberta.bsky.social, on how insects remodel their flight muscles to combat energy stress ๐ช๐ผ๐ชฝ
The graphics were awesome and made the talk super accessible, even to people without biology backgrounds ๐๐๐ผ
I definitely learnt a lot ๐๐ผ
Dylan stood in front of a sign at the University of Alberta that reads: "Centennial Centre for Interdisciplinary Science".
I'm very pleased to be joining the University of Alberta as a Postdoctoral Fellow! ๐ค๐จ๐ฆ
In my role I'll be researching contaminants in the Arctic and their potential impacts on the wider environment ๐โ๏ธโ ๏ธ

Graphic showing the allocation of water into different categories: 97% oceans. Of the 3% freshwater, 69% is ice; 30% is deep groundwater. The remaining 1% is split in snow, lakes, rivers, soils, and the atmosphere.
Just a little fun water fact for Xmas.
97% of the world's #water is salty (the oceans).
Of the 3% freshwater, the vast majority is locked up in ice caps, glaciers, & deep groundwater. Only a tiny fraction of 1% is accessible in rivers, lakes, groundwater, & rain. Use it carefully.

Dr Angie Milne and Dr Simon Ussher presenting their talk titled "Pushing the new frontiers of marine science in Antarctica on the RRS Sir David Attenborough" to an audience at the University of Plymouth.
Last night I got to hear about some amazing work done in Antarctica by researchers from the University of Plymouth/ @plymouthmarine.bsky.social, at a talk hosted by @rgsibg.bsky.social & the Royal Society of Chemistry
The event was fully booked with >115 attendees and I'm glad I was one of them ๐๐๐ผ๐ฆ๐ถ
Diverse groups do better science. Happy #PolarPride #LGBTQinSTEM day!

Happy #PolarPrideDay2024! We are grateful that our grassroots efforts are still going strong & this day has special meaning for so many globally! We are a handful of volunteers who, since 2018, have quietly offered advice & resources to polar professionals & asked orgs to prioritize DEI. #PolarPride

Hi! I'm Dylan and I love cold places ๐โ๏ธ
I have almost completed my PhD (post-viva and just finishing minor corrections) at the University of Plymouth in the UK.
I have been researching contaminants in glacial environments and I am passionate about environmental monitoring and protection ๐โ๏ธ๐๏ธ
