I haven’t been active on here as of late. I’m feeling a bit burned out, and interactions have been exhausting. But, I think the Fediverse would like my photo of what I think are some phenomenal moss and lichen spotted during a hike in early autumn! #Mosstodon #Lichen

More photos from yesterday’s humid hike where so many #mushrooms (and slime moulds) were seen! #Mushtodon #Fungiverse

I’m thinking of getting a label maker for my zinc plant identification tags since my writing is messy. Anyone have any suggestions? I’m looking to label all my native plants in my garden! #Gardening

Absolutely stunning!

Very similar to having my symptoms dismissed for ADHD, my bizarre immune symptoms have been dismissed leaving me to figure this out in my own! I’m sure many of you can relate.

I’d always see the blue-green stain of decaying wood, but never got to see the actual mushroom responsible for the staining! What a phenomenal colour! #MushroomMonday #Mushtodon #Fungiverse #Mushroom #Sporespondence

The remnants of a Tropicana orange juice carton. The plastic film remains well after the cardboard has decayed. This should be a reminder of how much plastic we pollute the earth with. #Environment #Pollution

My little girl Sophie had surgery on Thursday. She’s recovering really well and loves wearing her recovery suit (an alternative to an e-collar)!

A paper under review that I am a co-author on, recently got reviewer feedback which seemed an awful lot like AI (such as ChatGPT) to the first author. I unfortunately think we are going to continue to see more of this, gravely undermining the scientific process. Has anyone had experience with this? #AskFedi

Grateful to have been able to go for a hike today to enjoy the fluffy snow that fell last night. #BloomScrolling #Winter

I am looking for recommendations regarding e-ink tablets for use in academia. Specifically, to write notes, jot down ideas, read PDFs, etc. I cannot seem to narrow down the options out there, despite extensive researching. Any insight on personal use would be much appreciated!! #AskFedi

I saw a shooting star!! I’ve not seen one before. I just happened to be looking up when something moving fast across the sky caught my eye!! 💫

Interested in the research on medicinal cannabis? Check out the YouTube channel of my colleagues at the Centre for Medicinal Cannabis Research from McMaster University!

Stunning!! 🍂❄️

Fairly certain this is Raspberry Slime Mould due to its small size and fuschia colour (compared to the bumble gum colour of Wold’s Milk Slime Mould). A first-ever sighting!! #Mushtodon #Mushrooms

Just wondering if anyone has good resources on text/ sentiment analyses on responses collected from in-depth participant interviews? We’re looking at ways in which these quantitative approaches can help support the qualitative thematic coding that our experts are doing. Thank you! #AcademicChatter #AskFedi #Sociology #Psychology
