A year of heatwaves, flooding & wildfires is making it clear that humanity is interconnected to natural systems. New work from #UBC’s Dr. Mary O'Connor & colleagues calls for more explicitly incorporating feedbacks into #biodiversity research & policies bit.ly/3FMXG8I

If @JoeBiden & @KamalaHarris are serious about #science they will nominate a stellar (and diverse) Science Team -- soon. @BarackObama nominated his team in mid Dec 2008 (as depicted by @TheEconomist )

So proud of this talk by our own @EvgeniyaYangel! An outstanding talk based on her Master’s research - an experimental test of the spatial insurance hypothesis for microbes in a warming environment. Part of an excellent collaboration w/ @JoeyBernhardt @thompson_pl & Laura Parfrey
This work focuses on bacteria and is a part of a bigger experiment led by @thompson_pl and @mioconnor testing Spatial Insurance Hypothesis for multitrophic aquatic metacommunties!
