With your help we can:
Time for, Question 3 of 3 that we asked 10 students of the Redpath Museum on their research, career and general path in science.
This week, "What advice would you give your younger scientist self?"

Watch herpetologist Jessica Ford explain the work she does with the easily overlooked, yet massively important tadpoles.
STEMM Diversity @ McGill co-founders Jessica Ford and Charles Xu detail their paths as scientists and what led them to come together to form STEMM Diversity @ McGill in the new article Promoting diversity in science.
Wild populations must continuously adapt to environmental changes or risk extinction. For more than fifty years, scientists have described instances of “rapid evolution” in specific populations as their traits (phenotypes) change in response to varying stressors. For example, Spanish clover has developed a tolerance for copper from the mine tailings in which it grows, and the horn size of Alberta bighorn sheep has decreased due to trophy hunting.
A team of international researchers from Canada, Colombia, and Germany has discovered a new marine reptile. The specimen, a stunningly preserved metre-long skull, is one of the last surviving ichthyosaurs – ancient animals that look eerily like living swordfish.
unEarth is one of the impact200 Bicentennial Student Sustainability Challenge finalists' and their platform and supplemental educator's manual are designed to reach out and teach youth about sustainability through environmental systems thinking.
Considering outreach for Fall 2021?

STEMM Diversity group members have recently published a blog post with Cell Mentor, and a paper in Trends in Ecology.
Jessica Ford, PhD candidate in the Green Lab of the Redpath Museum has won the Chancellor Gretta Chambers Student Leadership Award in Student Leadership! Read about her story and passion for science in the link below:
Ever wonder what our curators do? Even though we are closed, they are hard at work ensuring the security of our collections, answering inquiries about them and working on collection management projects.
In the article below, learn more about the CAML project. Definitely a must read!
Milton Riaño, McGill’s Climate Change Artist-in-Residence, will curate the Faculty of Science’s Bicentennial Science/Art Exposition, billed as a “celebration of science in all its forms”.
The art show organizers are calling on all members of the McGill community to submit works in any medium, expressing what science means to them.
The deadline for submissions is October 31, 2021.
McGill University researchers have discovered a new way to track genetically modified animals using the artificial transgenes they leave behind in the environment. The discovery provides a powerful new tool to locate and manage genetically modified animals that have escaped or been released into the wild.
