Let me introduce myself. I'm a professor @usask.bsky.social at the University of Saskatchewan. My group works on invasive wild pigs, caribou, wolves, and other beasties. I take the responsibility of my academic freedom very seriously and use it and good science to hopefully have some influence.

There are a LOT of people in Saskatchewan who see unlimited access to guns as a top voting issue and that's all that matters to Moe and company-literally that's all that matters.

sorry! I couldn't help myself

Very cool! We just published a paper on urban moose.

Looking forward to Dec. 1 when it becomes legal to put up a Christmas tree.

Current energy level:

That likely costs extra.

I mean, it will 'operate' at least for a while, but let's be clear it will be a disaster.

This is legitimately the most ridiculous thing I've heard in 2025. Only some corporate eggheads that have never visited a university could think this stuff up.

Ryan Brook, PhD. Chairman of the Boar @ryankbrook.bsky.social · 1d

Fires and droughts are the new normal and need to be budgeted for realistically. Health care is expensive and getting more so. None of these should in any way be considered a 'surprise'.

what a terrible response. Why is someone so incompetent as Cockrill in this important position?

I really wish we'd stop calling them climate "skeptics" or "vaccine skeptics", if you jump off a cliff we don't call you a "gravity skeptic"

Before genetic studies we thought the big herd bulls did almost all of the mating but genetics found that these younger interlopers were able to sneak in and breed more successfully than previously thought.

Ryan Brook, PhD. Chairman of the Boar @ryankbrook.bsky.social · 2d

What? That is both insane and not surprising.

My mom and I went to Holland last year and the flight Saskatoon to Toronto was the same as Toronto to Holland flight. None of this makes any sense.

Ryan Brook, PhD. Chairman of the Boar @ryankbrook.bsky.social · 3d

Looking at flights Saskatoon to Winnipeg... nothing less than $1,000. OK.

Quitting Twitter was the best decision I made this year. It is frustrating how many people screen shot twitter stuff and post it here on bluesky. I came here specifically to avoid twitter!

Nothing better!

Just add some cut up hot dogs and you nailed it.

Who is Andrew Scheer? Never heard of him.

Ryan Brook, PhD. Chairman of the Boar @ryankbrook.bsky.social · 5d

That looks legit!

Hazzah. Two bulls were found with net/fencing tangled in antlers. When released they received an ear tag.

I just emailed Tom Perry the PANP head biology dude.

Watson: great scientist, piece of shit human.

Terry McGlynn @hormiga.bsky.social · 20d

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...

DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments

“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

That's interesting- never heard about this. They released elk in the Montreal Lake area but that was almost 25 years ago now. The ranched elk have yellow tags in both ears.

Andrew 'ham fists' Scheer is truly pathetic.

Great play by play from ⁦‪JP Tasker‬⁩ of last night’s theatre. At least the NDP caucus was honest about the quandary they faced and the strategy they chose. The CPC cannot say the same. #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
