(1/2) Defended my PhD thesis yesterday!🍾Thank you to @jocelynpoissant, Philip McLoughlin and countless other academic mentors for their support over the years. Thanks also to the exam committee and the numerous students and techs that have made the @SI_Horses project possible.
Oh hey, that's me! – at Calgary, Alberta
The GSA is excited to celebrate the impact of our Quality Money projects!
♻️So far, the Zero-Waste Styrofoam and Experiential Learning Initiative Team has recycled over 2 TONS of Styrofoam. 🥳

It's been such a great experience working with everyone on this initiative!
New recycling program sees big uptake in first year of pilot at Foothills campus, as #UCalgary students divert 2,000-plus pounds of lab Styrofoam from landfill ow.ly/ch6m50Ni0ws
Thank you to the @GSACalgary Quality Money Program for supporting the project!

Late to the party, but really enjoyed showing some high school students what the @SI_Horses project is all about at @UCalgary Discovery Days. Maybe the next generation of @jocelynpoissant lab members??Next stop, Leadership Forum with @TheGradCollege

The Styrofoam Recycling Project is recruiting students to lead the program! Be part of the team to increase accessibility to Styrofoam recycling stations, learn to manage a sustainability-focused project, and develop communication and outreach skills. Learn more in the graphics!
Yesterday, I had the chance to share about the amazing research we do for @SI_Horses during Discovery Day in Health Sciences. What an amazing experience it was to teach high school students about #parasites and #horses! @HPI_network
My last evening on #SableIsland conducting #fieldwork for @SI_Horses ended with a beautiful #sunset painting the sky pink. It's been a blast!

A #SableIsland #sunrise to finish off the 2022 field season! Our crew will be leaving the island soon, with another year's worth of samples and #data to add to the long-term #horse study!

Rainy days means #baking cookies for the @SI_Horses crew! Snacks to take during #fieldwork surveying #horses on #SableIsland.
Peanut butter cookies! What a luxury it is to have access to baking ingredients and facilities in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean! – at Nova Scotia, Canada

We may focus our #fieldwork on #horses, but there's so much #biodiversity on #SableIsland that deserve recognition. This thread is dedicated to the non-horses of Sable Island! (1/8)

She may not look it, but Constellation is one of the oldest #horses on #SableIsland!
She has unique facial markings and a swayback that makes her easily identifiable.

Only a few people get to see the #sunset on #SableIsland. The colours were extra dramatic last night! The perks of #fieldwork! – at Halifax, Nova Scotia

A team photo before some crew members leave the island!
After weeks of #hiking and collecting data, Anastasiia, @Chlo3_Cook, and @IhncheolJ left #SableIsland yesterday! @isla_botting, @Micky_Ahn, and @RRachel_Reed get to wrap up the next half of the season! – at Halifax, Nova Scotia
Harvesting #parasite larvae for @SI_Horses. Flipping glass cups full of poop and water! Such a unexpected, simple, but elegant technique. Look at all the worms swimming out! #sciencepoop #research #fieldwork – at Nova Scotia, Canada

Meet Spub (#Horse ID: 1412). A beautiful flaxen chestnut male born in 2019.
He's a long-time favourite of the field crew!

@Chlo3_Cook may be an undergraduate student at @AcadiaU, but here she is teaching graduate students how to process fecal samples.
Exceptional field workers are hard to find, but we've been very lucky with people like Chloe!
