This is figure 2, which shows global diversification dynamics of six diverse butterfly families.
Butterflies and moths are key indicators of functioning and healthy ecosystems. A Review in Nature Reviews Biodiversity describes the evolutionary history of the order Lepidoptera and tracks shifts in researchers’ understanding of the clade in the genomic era. go.nature.com/4r0kbgS 🌍 🧪

My love for you is like climate change, there is no denying it
Your heart makes me bleach
Are you wildfire smoke? Because you Particulate-ly Matter to me!
You must be solar-powered, because YOU light up my day
🌹Roses are red,
🌊The ocean is blue.
🌍Climate science matters,
💚And so do YOU.
Happy #ValentinesDay from Climate Central💙

Although the throes of winter bring cold winds and snow, spring is just around the corner. That means OE3C is coming soon (April 30th-May 2nd).
Reminder, the topic is "Coexisting with Nature", and the conference will be held in Mackenzie Chown Complex at Brock University.
Whether birds are your fancy, or fish float your boat, the Niagara region is an unparalleled biodiversity hotspot.
Pictured above is a Bonaparte’s gull, dusky salamander, and lake sturgeon.
OE3C registration will be announced soon, don’t forget to follow for more info.

Deeply saddened by news that my friend Kirsty Duncan passed away today. I worked closely with her while she was the Minister of Science and the Chair of the Standing Committee on Science and Technology. I texted her on Saturday when I was at a Robbie Burns dinner—her favourite event of the year.

Early sketch of poster that is mostly pencilled lines of the Algonquin Wildlife Research Station at the bottom, and a banner at the top
A poster with more inking progress: the title “Algonquin Wildlife Research Station: a microcosm of my career” and the name of the speaker (Dr Scott Ramsay) and seminar date/time (Feb 6 at 2:30) have been inked in
More progress has been made. The station is now being inked in.
After a busy a stressful week, taking some time to unwind with drawing and inking a new #LaurierBiology seminar poster! #SciArt
