Lab members @KBoerder and Amy spent a week at @univmiami working with and learning about the new AquaX, created by an ecosystem modeler @Nuestracr. He has ~30k marine species distributions modeled globally (incl. mammals, fish, reptiles, cephalopods, bivalves, etc)!

@DalhousieU I’m interested to know why President Deep Saini was entitled to a $66,153 raise from 2020-2021, up to $558,154 (!) but @CUPE3912’s TAs and PTAs got nothing.
Some of Nova Scotia’s highest paid public sector workers were revealed on Monday. atlantic.ctvnews.ca/n-s-suns…
Have you seen #eelgrass before? It’s home to eels, seahorses, lobsters & more! Come check out what eelgrass looks AND feels like, while also doing hands-on science experiments just like eelgrass scientists! You will learn why eelgrass is important and how we can protect it!
Have you heard about #eelgrass, the secret climate hero?
Come out to an interactive, all-ages event this Saturday, Aug. 27 to learn more about the importance of eelgrass, and its potential to capture carbon and more!
Visit the Museum of Natural History Saturday to learn more!

Dalhousie! We are so excited to be starting Surfrider Dal! We have so many fun things planned this year, like surf trips and beach clean-ups! Use the link in our bio to become a member and follow to stay up to date with news and events! 🌊💙 @Surfrider #surfrider #surfriderclubs
My summer work with replanting eelgrass made the CBC local news! Check it out below for a 3 min quick video to learn about it & see me snorkelling 🤿🌱

To continue with all this awesome eelgrass & #BlueCarbon work in Nova Scotia, some of our eager students are putting on an interactive event at the @NS_MNH on August 27th! Come check it out if you want to see eelgrass for yourself, do an experiment & learn how to collect a core! – at Halifax, Nova Scotia
If you are interested in reading (in a blog-style format!!) about some of the work I’ve been doing this summer, check out this article I helped with! Super cool work I’ve gotten to help with! 🌱💙

As the #bluecarbon research team patiently waits for #eelgrass seeds to mature for our replanting project, they’ve been snorkelling, creating and now testing a homemade sediment corer, and hired the amazing @flytbox to fly a drone for aerial imagery! Way to go team!

Attn *ALL* Canadian scientists & engineers! Sign open letter to @JustinTrudeau & @FP_Champagne (bit.ly/3vWWDQt) asking the CDN Gov to increase @NSERC_CRSNG graduate student funding to above the poverty line & #PDFs to a reasonable wage. Pls RT & spread the word!!
Tis’ me!
Our #BlueCarbon research team is off to find materials for our own sediment corer, similar to below! With this tool, we can take sediment samples to see how much carbon is stored in #eelgrass beds at Owls Head Prov Park, helping to reduce #climatechange impacts! Wish us luck!
