Retired biology professor criticizes caribou funding

Retired biology professor Marco Festa-Bianchet describes $25 million Quebec-Ottawa caribou protection funding deal as a 'smokescreen'. (July 3, 2026)

A running thread of articles, blog posts, and more about the Government of Canada’s proposal to fast-track “major projects” and weaken federal environmental laws and regulations.

Pressed plant specimens collected centuries ago and stored in herbaria around the world could play a key role in facilitating the tracking of genetic change and extinction risk in plants, a McGill University-led study indicates. Learn more ➡️ mcgill.ca/x/5eB

This is awesome news! Continue to make yourself heard on the topic. Contact your MPs, respond to the discussion paper. For more info on the subject, read the formal response of the @csee-scee.bsky.social : csee-scee.ca/wp-content/u....

Publicly voicing our scientific concerns, along with the broader concerns by Canada's environmental, legal, and NGO community and First Nations, have made a difference. The federal government has extended the public engagement period to 22 July 2026. Please see: www.canada.ca/en/one-canad...

Thursday morning at #CSEE2026, M.Sc. student Sufia Khader (@sufflox.bsky.social) is going to present her work on the characterization of the extent of vegetative reproduction in the endangered plant Polemonium vanbruntiae using genomics. Don’t miss this! 📅 Thursday 🕚 11am 📍 BA-1240

Hey #SCEE26! Ph.D. student Dongjuan Zhang is presenting a poster tonight where she is exploring how abiotic environment affect flower shapes in the Antillean Gesneriaceae.

It’s about significant weakening of federal environmental laws in Canada. www.wcel.org/media-releas...

Lots of good memories of CSEE meetings, but here are two with pictures: 1) the trad music in Saint-Boniface at #beepeg23 where I danced with colleagues and 2) view of the lake Massawippi in early morning during a trail run organized by Dominique Gravel and Victor Cameron in 2026! #SCEECSEE20

CIHR funding rate: 13.6%. Early 2000s: 30%+. Canada’s new $1.7B Impact+ program recruits talent — but without increased Tri-Council base funding, we risk further strain on an already stretched system. We’re calling for $1B over 5 years. Support here: tinyurl.com/33c5av46

For Canadian scholars, the reality is bleak . Ottawa is dangling money for American researchers, but what about our own? #academicsky #neuroskyence #psychscisky

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying. They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks. From WCVB: youtu.be/PuFIs7OkzYY
