I second this! It was an absolute privilege to teach functional ecology of fishes in this amazing semester-long field program UNB Saint John Huntsman Marine.
Highly recommended for 3rd/4th year undergrads! Open to domestic/international exchange students.

'...while prediction remains a worthy goal, scientists are now focusing on its much more ambitious cousin: control over how it happens.'
New one for Quanta Magazine
(it mentions the work of Frances Arnold, Jake Scott, Alvaro Sanchez Lab, others)
We Bernhardt Lab are recruiting grad students for 2024 (fully funded positions! Living wage!) on topics related to adaptation to global change and connections between biodiversity and human well-being
See: bernhardtlab.org/join-us

These training modules for an accessible intro to the use of genetics/genomics in species conservation look awesome! I’m often asked for such resources by conservationists/managers.
Nice to see some integration w/Earth BioGenome Project too! Check it out European Reference Genome Atlas Biodiversity Genomics Europe (BGE)
For those still on here, I'm super stoked to see this one out there! 🐟🔥🤏 Timothy Clark Hanna Scheuffele Deakin SEBE Deakin Research
Supplemental oxygen does not improve growth but can enhance reproductive capacity of fish

Update! A program officer says there are no provisions that allow an applicant to include a preprint in the #NSERC #CCV . But it could be included as a sample of research contributions in a grant.
Disappointing that they don’t explicitly acknowledge preprints like European Research Council (ERC).
Help CSEE_SCEE Society of Canadian Aquatic Sciences folks! Where to put preprints that have NOT yet been submitted to a journal in my #NSERC #CCV ? I’m just getting bounced around and “Working Papers” doesn’t exist, any ideas Steven J. Cooke Jeannette Whitton Dr. Julia K. Baum Stephen Heard @JazJanes J.A. Lee-Yaw ?

Genomics for monitoring and understanding species responses to global climate change
Led by the one and only Louis Bernatchez. Thanks for leaving this for us Louis!
Amid a rising climate of intolerance in Florida, drag queens tag sharks to raise awareness of queer people in science, and funds for Pridelines. My story for Scientific American

Developing barcoding for monitoring intraspecific biodiversity - a fun project to be a part of that I hope will be a launchpad for similar efforts in #fish 🐟! Biodiversity Genomics Europe (BGE) European Reference Genome Atlas
