I've now been an assistant professor at SFU for a year now! It's been an exciting but busy time - glad to see the research lab coming along. Balancing all the demands across teaching, research, and service can be hard at times but very rewarding as well. Still lots to learn! #newPI #academia

Yes please! As a new PI, I am finding that my time is too easily soaked up in administrative busy work and meetings about meetings.

Absolutely awful to hear the news coming out re: US federal agency workers and freeze on US federal grants. These executive orders impact some great people that are doing important jobs that really benefit society. Unfortunate to see the (yet again) wild decisions from the Trump White House.

Yesterday our new #globalsharktrends paper came out in @science.org @nickdulvy.bsky.social did a great thread on the paper and included some GIFs that we had made but they did not play here on @bsky.app I'm hoping this now works. Status change through time... science.org/doi/10.1126/...

End of my first semester at SFU. Was a bit of a grind at times (most of the time?) but glad to have some time back to pick up some research again! #newPI

I'm aiming to develop a lab handbook next semester to provide a resource on field and lab safety training, research expectations, funding and scholarship opportunities, EDI measures, managing collaborations, etc. Any tips or resources folks want to share would be most helpful! #newPI

In a recent paper, we tested the idea that Gulf of Mexico Bluefin Tuna mature and spawn at later ages than the Mediterranean. In general, we found similar patterns between populations but tremendous variation among individuals. authors.elsevier.com/c/1jRozbiU21... #fish #fisheries #oceans
