The best part of my job is working with incredible students and Katie was a rockstar! 💙 So great to see this published!

Awesome science comes out of large collaborative cruises! So happy to still be involved in the West Coast cruise, this time working w Pelagic Ecosystems Lab to integrate these data into studies of #zooplankton on the BC coast. Thanks for the hard work out there team!

Oxygen and carbon dioxide ↔️ two sides of the same coin go.usa.gov/xFb25 Observations from the West Coast #OceanAcidification Cruise confirmed what fisherman, beachgoers & modelers suspected- low oxygen waters arrived early & are persistent #ScienceSaturday #WCOA2021

I like my copepods so fatty they leave a trail of lipid droplets behind when they come straight out of the freeze dryer #Calanus

You know you’re not in Canada anymore when the neighbor is open carrying a handgun while weeding their flower beds #GoodAfternoon

Planning November field work means planning to change your plans but I’m grateful for any day on the water and some valuable late fall data

Look at how festive they are! I love hanging out with my lab so much :) Patrick Pata Natalie Benoit

Super excited to be talking about nutrition in marine food webs at the NWFSC seminar on Thursday! Come hear me talk about fatty acids, environmental effects on prey for zooplankton, and how nutrition at the food web base can affect the whole system. fisheries.noaa.gov/nwfsc-monster-…

Been out offshore making new friends like this Cystisoma amphipod #BigBoy

Field season got me feeling like Science Parent dropping the kids off at day camp #CoastalOceanography #FoodWebs2022 Hakai Institute UBC Oceans Pelagic Ecosystems Lab Patrick Pata

Wrapping up a beautiful two weeks field work in the northern Salish Sea working out of Hakai Institute Quadra Island research station. So grateful for the support and collaboration, and working with a wonderful group of young scientists UBC Oceans Colleen Kellogg Curtis Suttle 🧵

Now that Daajing Giids is renamed, it's time to throw out Queen Charlotte Sound, Queen Charlotte Strait and Queen Charlotte Fault and other related geological names. And Dixon Entrance: the captain of HMS Queen Charlotte that caused this ugly colonial mess of names... #OceanBack

My brain really wants there to be an "i" in "fjords" and I will put in just about anywhere fijords fjiords fjoirds fjorids fjordis They all look great to me

So fun learning about the work our colleagues do during UBC Oceans open house today and getting to share beautiful plankton and the oceanographic sampling we do in Pelagic Ecosystems Lab. Here is PhD candidate Jacob Lerner demonstrating how a Niskin bottle works to collect water samples.

How hard is it to do science in a language that’s not your first language? We quantified the severity of #languagebarriers for non-native English speakers when reading/publishing papers and attending/presenting at international conferences. doi.org/10.1371/journa… 1/9
