Great to be back in BC's Okanagan Valley! Saw this out the front door of a house that our BC Biodiversity Team will be staying in next week.

The @nserc-resnet.bsky.social AGM is in full swing, and last night the "Palen Lab and friends" team crushed it at trivia!

Are you a student presenting research on invasive species at the annual AFS meeting this year? If so, please see the flyer below for a travel award opportunity 🐟! @amfisheriessoc.bsky.social @sdsufishecology.bsky.social

Yesterday I presented my ongoing thesis research at the IDEAS 2025 conference. The project has come a long way and I was excited to share my progress so far!

📢Re-introducing E2O!
We’re Earth to Ocean Research Group @SFU, dedicated to ecology and conservation. Led by Drs. Reynolds, Moore, Côté, Palen, and Dulvy (L-R), our interdisciplinary and quantitative approach aims to generate meaningful insights for conservation and management.

Congratulations to Beth Oishi from the Côté Lab (@redlipblenny.bsky.social) on successfully defending her MSc thesis yesterday!

The Palen Lab is looking for a GIS Analyst! See job posting below and share with interested individuals.

New op-ed from @wpalen.bsky.social and the Liber Ero fellows.

"The new amendments to the IAA point clearly toward a regional approach by directing federal agencies to consider 'the cumulative effects of physical activities'”.

Yesterday at #NACCB2024 Ira Sutherland (@socialeco.bsky.social) presented the Palen Lab's work on strategic planning of renewable energy to limit cumulative impacts on the BC landscape.

This week is the North American Congress for Conservation Biology! The Palen Lab is volunteering and will also be giving a talk about their work on cumulative impacts of renewable energy.

Loving the vibes here at SFU today

What a great weekend for E2O!

The Palen & Côté labs made waves at #PEEC2024 at the Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre.
Meanwhile, the Dulvy lab shared insights at #NEPSSVI at the Seattle Aquarium.
From local invasive species to global protected areas, we are passionate about sharing our science! 🌊🦈

Thank you to the Invasive Species Council of BC for inviting me to share some green crab work at #invasives2024! #bcinvasives

Scientific American article by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social
quotes @sharkadvocates.bsky.social “It’s been at least 15 years since scientists sounded alarm bells over the serious depletion of deepwater dogfish and gulper sharks off Europe”

One in seven species (14%) of deepwater sharks and rays is threatened with extinction - and overfishing is the main reason theconversation.com/fished-for-t...

🧪🦑 Can the effect of temperature on metabolism explain population trends of bluefin #tuna- and predict the future? In a new paper we use a stable #isotope based proxy to measure thermal sensitivity of field metabolism in Atlantic BFT www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Super excited to welcome new PhD student Rachel Aitchison to the Earth to Ocean Research group at Simon Fraser University. She's working on "Metabolic morphology of rays"
