I don’t want to #toot my own horn 📯, BUT #Ecologist #achievementunlocked! I just waterproofed my #blundstoneboots #ecology

#today I’ll start teaching 200 #undergrads introductory #ecology and #evolution. Haven’t taught this course in person since… 2017! Wow! This is also the last time I’ll be #teaching it. Due to program changes, the class is being replaced with a second year lab course. Which I’m also designing right now. I’ll be teaching that for the first time NEXT #fall But did that stop me from completing revamping this first year class? Of course not! I’m incurable. Buckle up folks, it’s going to be bumpy

I just learned about #what3words - a 3-metre square grid system that uses a 3 word address to easily and memorably #communicate precise location information globally. Very helpful for #fieldwork in remote locations and #safety plans. The words are random, but coincidentally, the door to the building where our #wetland #ecology lab is based is at ///indoor.roaming.aquatic !

Had a nice visit with #green Party MPP @mikeschreiner@twitter. He spoke with my #gradstudents about the importance of #wetlands and #ecology , the danger of #compensation policy, what is happening to the #greenbelt , and the outsized importance of small, isolated #wetlands for #waterquality

On Saturday I’m excited to be giving a talk for HAALSA. My first in person talk in over 3 years. Should be a great event! Assuming I remember how to speak in public 😅. #invasivespecies #biodiversity #restoration #wetlands #ecology
