Trying to remind (convince?) myself that the 12-16h days we work are indeed work and not vacation, and I’m not wasting time or neglecting my PhD while I’m on Sable, but damn am I ever stressed about everything I have to do when I’m back on the mainland 🙃

Anyone else not able to log into the NSERC online services? It’s been happening since yesterday, keeps saying my password is wrong but I try to reset it and get this, just blank 🫠

I haven’t been keeping up with the Iditarod much this year, but very disappointed to hear @quincemountain.bsky.social was withdrawn today despite having no intention to scratch #uglydogs

I sent you a DM! 😊

Very excited to finally share this! All of my remote fieldwork has taught me a lot, but there’s just something different about Sable

www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Our remote fieldwork taught us how to band together as scientists

Three early-career researchers thrown together on Sable Island, a treeless island in the North Atlantic, think others can learn from their experiences.

Keynote would never do this to me, neither would Google slides

Nothing fills me with rage quite like trying to do anything in Word, PowerPoint, or Excel. All I want to do is rearrange some images for my lecture on Friday but I’m about to throw my laptop out a window 🙃

I’m waiting to hear back from a dentist and planning on calling the university clinic tomorrow morning, but if anyone has better suggestions…

If anyone has advice on what kind of medical professional to see for TMJ/trigeminal nerve pain, I’m all ears. Intermittent pain over the past couple months has become much more regular, to the point where eating solid foods is extremely painful 😩

Excited to announce the publication of the first chapter of my PhD in Biological Conservation! We evaluated individual behavioral variation and its implications for delineating intraspecific units for the conservation of caribou. Read more here:

That’s likely what will be the case here, turns out it’s in a wetland that only has a thin layer of ice over it, so presumably the moose ended up in it

The first paper from my PhD is out in Parasitology! Using DNA metabarcoding, I show patterns of parasite infection in Sable Island horses!

It's open access, so go check it out!

Since according to the CO who ended up going out to see if he could do it, where she was is so dense that we’d barely be able to get through, and snowshoes would likely be impossible to use 🙃

So to the next collared moose to die, pls do so in a more convenient location 😅

Yesterday a few of us met on campus at 6am to necropsy a collared moose, which was a 3.5h drive then 2km bushwhack away, but the lab truck had other plans & started overheating less than an hour outside Saskatoon… turns out that saved us from a loooong waste of a day

While walking my dog yesterday I came across a pickup with such a massive front end that it had roughly equal ground clearance to my Elantra 🤦🏼‍♀️

After my drive yesterday, I don’t doubt it. I didn’t realize how bad it is before I moved here with my little Elantra 😩

Saskatoon: Oh and because we don’t clean the streets, were also not picking up garbage/recycling/compost this week ✌🏻🖕🏻
