"The richest 1% now has as much wealth as the rest of the world combined, according to Oxfam." It's not immigrants stealing your wealth, but the people paying for the propaganda, to get people to believe this. bbc.co.uk/news/business-3533…

Does our food waste support more crows & generalists, and do these species kill/displace other urban birds? Grateful to @r_heisman & @Revelator_News for highlighting my work with @KaiChanUBC @MGEMitchell @HaroldEyster, as we begin to investigate this question. Read ⬇️

Advice for grads (via @baumlab 🤩) Treat your time as the precious commodity that it is Figure out what the ‘big rocks’ are in your life Recognize the opportunity cost of each commitment Develop good work habits Write regularly Invest in your own professional development ✨
10 yrs ago when I was a new grad student, @baumlab gave the plenary talk at the SFU-UVic-UBC EcoEvo retreat & I took a photo of this slide because it seemed important & very useful. Yesterday at the @UofGCBS grad symposium, I recycled this because it's evergreen good advice 🌲✨

A living wage in #Guelph is > $30,000/ year. NSERC scholarships pay well below that, which is not enough to pay for food, housing and other basic needs. #SupportOurScience @UofGGC ontariolivingwage.ca/rates
#SupportOurScience is calling for a nation-wide walk out in support of increased funding for #GradStudents & #Postdocs! We will be joining the walkout at the University of Guelph on May 1st at 1pm. More specific details will come, but for now please share broadly!

A fun project highlighting the role restaurants may have in homogenizing urban bird communities. TL;DR in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area, if there are restaurants nearby, you will almost find pigeons, regardless of other elements of urbanization journals.plos.org/plosone/ar… @caplter
