Buried in the details of acorn worm anatomy. Carrying the weight of history, science & sediments. I enjoy & despise it. There's no science as personal or puzzling as taxonomy. It’s 5-dimensional & composed of thousands of imperfectly matched pieces. Balanoglossus occidentalis Ritter 1902 nomen nudum
There’s no topiary like acorn worm topiary. #Herbal #Hemichordata
It's a wrap for the 2026 Quebec #Indigenous Science Fair in La Tuque. The theme was 'Science in Action with 1st Peoples' & included 41 teams & 9 nations, illustrating the growing interest of 1st Nations & Inuit youth in science & technology. Thanks to our hosts, le Conseil de la Nation #Atikamekw!
Help! We're removing the aboral disk of the brittle star Amphipholis squamata in search of juveniles - they're brooders - and we're finding these hollow ossicle-like rods, arranged in sequence. What the heck are they? #ophiroid #echinoderm #calcite @echinoblog.bsky.social
Great seminar on fish, ecosystem function, services & health. Thanks @helenyan.bsky.social for sharing your global & deep time perspectives.
Congrats Greta Ramirez, who successfully defended her PhD thesis, 'The ecology and diversity of Late #Ordovician & Early #Silurian paleocommunities of Québec.' L to R: Hans Larsson (McGill), Katalin Patonai (UdeM), Dr. Ramirez, JP Zonneveld (U Alberta), me.
I was 100% with the kids until I learned that Vecna is an arthropod. #StrangerThings
Excited for Greta & Feb 5! She can finally be rid of me. 😂 If you want to join via Zoom, send me a request. The presentation will be in English. #Ordovician #Silurian #FoodWebModels #Quebec #Anticosti #Medusozoan
Bloqué par @yfblanchet.bsky.social, le chef du Bloc Québécois, coupable d'avoir encadré, collaboré et respecté tous les Québécois et Québécoises. Est-ce de l'esquive, de la peur d'être examiné, de l'arrogance, ou… ? #BloquéQuébécois.

First lab reunion of 2026. I'm looking forward to pursuing ongoing work & developing new projects with this amazing group. We wish you a 2026 of #discovery, interdisciplinary #irreverence, #intuition & #humour. #Creativity

Beautiful music from some of the world's greatest. If you're wondering why Myanmar is on the no-entry list - it's because those kids know how to deal with #Authoritarianism. See for yourself.

Canada’s brainiest building is the Science Complex of the Université de Montréal. MIL campus is home to the departments of chemistry, physics, geography & biology. Interdisciplinary science is brainier because Nature is unconcerned with sub-disciplines.
My students found an *extant bilateral echinoderm* this morning. This afternoon we discuss your paper.
RT. Fully funded PhD position in my lab to investigate the origin, composition and function of Ambulacrarian ossicles.
June 21 (National Indigenous Peoples Day) to June 24 (Fête Nationale du Québec) is the period in the QC calendar when Indépendantistes turn from celebrating 1st Nations culture, language & traditions to a paternal & colonial 'Québec mon pays' meant to dispossess them of their lands. Map, QC 1912.
1/2 It's International Day for Biological Diversity & we're learning about sustainable fisheries & aquaculture. #lobster #sugarkelp @qcbs.ca
Great seminar by @emilydolson.bsky.social on the power of digital models in eco-evo dynamics.
Congrats Max. I'm looking forward to getting it - on November 11 in Canada.
