WOAH!!! Our article on the ecological, evolutionary & health effects of urban induced mutations got the cover of @NatureEcoEvo @Nature. What a lovely capstone surprise to a wonderful collaboration. Read more here: https://t.co/0l54z2WGUw. Description of the photo in altext.

Our Junior Naturalists in Cohort #1 also went hunting for fungi today. They learned all about the fungal life cycle, closely examined pores and spores. Used teamwork to roll some huge logs. And had a special visit with a deer at the end of their meeting 🦌🍄‍🟫

Our Junior Naturalist club (Cohort#2) had a beautiful day looking for living things on logs at The Riverwood Conservancy. It was fun-gi! 🍄‍🟫. We found so many types of mushrooms, lichen, moss, galls and more!

Investing in Canada’s research! Support Our Science welcomes Budget 2025’s focus on next-gen researchers: $133M for international PhDs & postdocs, plus funding for chairs, faculty & infrastructure. Read more: https://t.co/3NodlU5DPw #SupportOurScience #cdnpoli

SOS is concerned about the SRSR motion requesting 25 years of disaggregated tri-council data. While we understand the data is intended to be anonymized, this wasn't explicitly stated in the motion – and the specific information requested could still enable #SupportOurScience

Are you a carnivore, omnivore or herbivore? Cohort #1 discovered that they have some incredible instincts for survival today. We visited Mountsberg Conservation Area for a trip into their Spooky Forest and hoped we wouldn’t get eaten or taken out by humans or natural disasters.

If you like fall colours, then this Mini Nat meeting was the one for you. We met new trees as we played leaf bingo, made a leaf kebob collection and looked for living things in, on and under trees and logs. 🍁🍂🌲🌳🪾

Cohort #2 were treated to a tour of the forests, fields and aquatic habitats of the Mountsberg Conservation Area today. They found a variety of living things, learned about their adaptations and went on a scavenger hunt.

Aujourd’hui, SOS se joint à @cancoalition pour demander au @PMcanadien d’investir dans la recherche afin de soutenir les étudiants aux cycles supérieurs, les postdocs et tous les chercheurs dans le #budget2025. Investir dans les chercheurs, c’est investir dans le Canada.

Cohort #1 spent the morning contributing to the scientific community. With the help of iNaturalist, participants searched high and low in the very own BioBlitz on the @uoftmississauga campus. Highlights included: coyote den, salmon, salamanders, insects, fungi and more!

📢 Today, SOS joins @cancoalition in calling on the @PMcanadien to invest in research funding to support graduate students, postdocs & all researchers in #budget2025 Investing in researchers = investing in Canada’s sovereignty, prosperity & economy. #SupportOurScience #cdnpoli

Our Junior Naturalist Club is in full swing once again. Today Cohort #2 followed the @UTM nature trail, leaving no pond, wildflower patch or forest unexplored. We also managed to tag 35 Monarch Butterflies before they head off to Mexico

Cohort #1 had some incredible nature finds today during their first meeting of the Fall 2025 season. Frogs, a newt, tadpoles, cicadas and a Brown Snake. They also managed to tag 42 Monarch Butterflies before they head to Mexico.

📢 Support Our Science has submitted recommendations to the federal pre-budget consultations. Canada must invest in the next generation of researchers to secure our future in innovation, health, and economic resilience. 📄 Full recs:

I am recruiting postocs to my lab at @eebtoronto ! This includes work on the historical and contemporary population genomics of invasive capeweed, collaborative work with @shaky_dingo, Tim Conallon, Akane Uesugi, and Allan Ellis, please share with your networks!

Shocking development: @Carney plans to cut Science funding by 15%, which would eliminate most of the planned investments the govt just made last year and set Canada further back: https://t.co/Do0xs87Sb3 @melaniejoly @FP_Champagne #SupportOurScience

You are interested in joining the editorial board of @ESAMonographs ? Or, you have a paper you would like to submit to the journal but your are not sure about the fit? Come find me #ESA2025 or send me a direct message to set a meeting! Happy to chat!
