Social media

  • I blogged (canadianfieldnaturalist.blogspot.ca/) and tweeted (@CanFieldNat) for The Canadian Field-Naturalist, 2010-2016.
    • I created the @CanFieldNat twitter account and developed it into arguably the most-followed account about Canada’s natural history.
  • I created a popular series of video tutorials on how to do basic biology statistics and graphs in Microsoft Excel. I created these as Lab Coordinator at Carleton University in 2012. More than 300,000 views.
  • I have been quoted in The Guardian, and am a prominent member of Canada’s community of conservation ecology tweeters (@JayFitzsy).
  • Series of tweets (storified here) on the lack of women scientists among The Royal Society of Canada’s fellows.
