🍅😋 Can't wait to try those, especially along with our fresh rosemary, other herbs and garlic from the garden! 🌿 It does feel good to start harvesting the results of our hard work -- especially as we were concerned at one point that the deer would actually gobble up all of it! 🦌

Just back from vacation to learn that limnology has again entered the political discourse. I am honoured and privileged to work with so many exceptional colleagues & students on Lake Ontario, the "lake of shining waters" (Oniatarí:io).💙 This is a great way to get inspired to get back to work! 🩵

Agree. I am wondering. Do you think the invasive crayfish populations in the US could potentially be underreported?

Dr. Linda Campbell (she/her/elle) @lmcampbell.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

It was bound to happen given the regulatory contexts for pet crayfish in many Canadian jurisdictions . 😵‍💫

When you see a colleague face discrimination in a public professional setting it's never comforting to come up to them after the fact to offer support. Do it during the instance. Suppport them publicy.

Canada appears water rich, yet much of its supply flows north, away from population centres, while groundwater is overdrawn and polluted—and policy gaps and climate stress are compounding risk. Writer Christopher Pollon explores: ow.ly/u5pA50YPwNR

On the left: an illustration of President Donald Trump drinking a glass of water with an American-flag patterned straw. On the right: text that reads “Trump is thirsty for Canada’s water, but our own gluttony is the bigger threat. Scarcity, pollution, and deregulation are putting the country’s supply under siege.”

Going through old photos. I just realized that this tree may be dropping a hint about the need for "tree cleaning".... Seen near Quinpool (Halifax)

A mossy tree which is engulfing a street sign. Someone has put in white eye-like circles to make it look like the tree is swallowing the sign. Moss growing on the sign has covered the wording "No Parking during those times for Street Cleaning" to only show "Tree Cleaning"
