We're hiring!! Looking for a postdoc to build new Canada-specific maps and models of ecosystem services (ES), and will test how these maps can answer a variety of research, management, and policy questions as part of @NSERC_ResNet.

This is terrible. It’s too bad when we have great students who want to join us but can’t for bureaucratic delay reasons.
Well, tomorrow is the last day for my potential China Scholarship Council student to receive his study permit. He's been waiting for more than a year! It's a real embarrassment for me at @mcgillu. Perhaps @CitImmCanada can help!

In academia, a new study finds that early career men often move jobs because they feel 'pulled' towards a better opportunity: but for women, it's the opposite. "Most left because they felt pushed out," as @waterbarnes explains here:

The gender gap in faculty attrition worsens after tenure, according to a new study
