It was such a thrill to see my colleague and mentor Professor Kim Strong @uoftphysics @UofTArtSci honoured with the @Polar_Research APECS Canada and @ArcticNetSA mentor of the year award. This is so well deserved. Congrats Kim !!
Thanks / miigwetch to all of our speakers and attendees in the James Bay double session @ArcticNet #asm2022 Some great science on this vital and awe inspiring place. @Mushkegowuk @MushkegowukM @n_ballist @floricel27 and ZouZou Kuzyk — let’s do it again next year!
Congrats @CathalPDoherty on an outstanding MSc defense @geo_uoft! Cathal's thesis focused on the ancient carbon-rich peat beneath cedar swamps of Southern Ontario. Thanks to our wonderful collaborators @LSRCA @floricel27 and awesome committee members @utmpaleolab and Tim Duval

It's now a federal holiday, but some have long celebrated #Juneteenth. Juneteenth celebrations in Washington are as meaningful as July 4. Washingtonians want the rest of America to catch up.
