Being an Assistant Professor in Biology at McMaster means I get to do what I love most - ask cool questions and work with a team to answer them. Science is fun!

I’m really excited to share this preprint which is the result of my very first project discussion with @JohnStinchcombe and @ME_Frederickson at the start of my PhD! A thread on latitudinal diversity gradients in symbiotic microbial communities. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Dear colleagues- Do you plan to #SupportOurScience on Monday? The constant worry over finances is hurting out students, driving some to leave academia, and reducing access.
Canadian PhD students and postgrads plan mass walkout over low pay nature.com/articles/d41586-0… @utfaculty
