Love this article! It makes so much sense. I've long felt that the push for grades gets in the way of true learning. Maclean's: It's time for Canadian universities to go gradeless - Macleans.ca. macleans.ca/?p=1211999 via @GoogleNews

Very interesting new study from @ualbertaScience. Climate change is altering all sorts of ecological relationships. This paper examines lynx & snowshoe hare. Conclusion: "climate change could disrupt cyclic dynamics in the boreal forest".

Check out our new paper in @NatureClimate looking at how changes in snow conditions may impact predator-prey interactions in the northern boreal forest… (Thread) nature.com/articles/s41558-0…

Climate change increases predation risk for a keystone species of the boreal forest

Salmon farms in B.C. waters appear to be significantly under-counting the number of sea lice on their fish, making it less likely they'll have to pay for delousing treatments to protect wild stocks,...
