Did you know that moths are crucial to our ecosystem? To celebrate National Moth Week, read our new #SimplyScience article to see which moths social media users believe are the most beautiful: ow.ly/lBKo50K2vW9
Apparently the “pink moth” is the absolute best kind of moth. Thanks @JoeBowdenNL and @KouchibouguacNP for setting up this neat activity! @NRCanScience

Amazing! I’ll be in @KouchibouguacNP in the coming days, and definitely will be checking this out! Stay tuned for pictures of my mini citizen scientists at work! 😉 Any moths in particular we should expect this time of year, @JoeBowdenNL?
Thanks to a great collaboration w/ @NRCan @ParksCanada_NS @ParksCanadaPEI @ParksCanadaNL @FundyNP @KouchibouguacNP @ParksCanada, we have now rolled out the Mothwall Project to all National Parks in Atlantic Canada. Ask about them in the campgrounds! #forestmoths

Where are my 80s/90s kids at? It's our time to shine, and it's all in the name of science. 🎮
#ThrowbackThursday How old were you when you got your first Game Boy? #NRCMedicalDevices has released the beta test of their retro style research-oriented app and it’s reminding us of the ‘90s! Check out Legend of Evelys here: ow.ly/8iTA50I3kqS
Merci de m'avoir appris tout ce que je connais au sujet des tremblements de terre, Maurice! Bonne retraite!
