I forgot to retweet my own paper 🙃 but biggest chapter of my PhD came out finally this summer! Interesting results on genetic vs species diversity hotspots, very taxa dependent. MAJOR thank you to @thefraserlab & especially @ericJpedersen again for all the hard work & support!
Our #macrogenetic assessment of pop genetic diversity across🌎is out!
-Spatial hot + coldspots largely unrelated to latitude
-Discordance btw gen diversity + species richness
-Only some links with envtal factors; taxonomic diffs
-Nature is complicated!

Lots of great discussions the past 2 days @OceanTracking's International Data Management Committee meeting. I'm repping @OBISNetwork + @BioEcoOcean, learning a lot about animal tracking data management & thinking about how such data could contribute to #EssentialOceanVariables !

The major global players in the field of #cameratrapping published a paper on @RSECJournal proposing a standard for exchanging #cameratrap data in a FAIR, open and both machine- and human-readable way.

Is talking to your hand more or less crazy than talking to a wall? Asking for me.

So happy to have this out! Great work built on Gillian Muir's BSc thesis project @Concordia showing that #biodiversity hotspots at different levels don't always align, using @cosewic's Designatable Units
1/4 #Biodiversity hotspots identify regions of conservation priority using spp. richness + uniqueness. What if applied to below the species level? Indeed, #extinction risk is often best assessed below species, but usually considered species-by-species only. @KbaCanada @cosewic
Hey everyone check out this ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC little show, introducing you to the #bullfrog! I laughed, the theme song is catchy, great production overall 👌🐸 love it

Despite everything going on, it's been a good month! I finished my #PhD with an amazing and supportive supervisor @thefraserlab @Concordia
AND just got my blue belt in Jiu Jitsu! @GracieBarra72
HUGE CONGRATS TO @Ichtyologie ON DEFENDING HIS PHD TODAY! So much great work, you did it man! So proud 😊
Big congrats to newly minted PhD @Ichtyologie on an outstanding PhD defense today @Concordia! His works on #densitydependence are informative for understanding population regulation in ecology and conservation. Stay tuned for more awesome papers in the coming months!

#PhDSupervisionFeedback:
What you say: Needs work
What they hear and think: It’s all wrong. I have no idea what work is needed.
What you could say: You need to show more clearly how your result supports the
hypothesis.
