I was excited today to welcome a new cohort of 225 #invertebrate morphology and #evolution enthusiasts to the Winter 2023 edition of #ZOO2700 at the #UofG.

First learning outcome? Appreciate the incredible #biodiversity of invertebrates.

Here’s a #fox playing with a meal in front of the #DairyBushFoxDen at the #UofG. #TrailCamera #Vulpes

#HigherEd #admin @ our #UofG, STOP showing us how bad you are your jobs.

"Masking encouraged, but, you must mask if symptoms & don't worry, there r mask up areas!"

BUT

Encouraging doesn't work. Asymptomatic spread is wide & your areas don't work.

#UofG mandate: "The @uofg@twitter.com is animated by a spirit of free and open inquiry, collaboration, and mutual respect."

@UofGPresident@twitter.com hiring a Chief of Staff (during a hiring freeze): successful applicant, "will demonstrate a high degree of discretion"

#ImproveLife...discretionarily

hiring more admin during a hiring freeze: https://www.uoguelph.ca/hr/system/files/Ad%20-%20University%20of%20Guelph%20-%20Chief%20of%20Staff.pdf

#UofG mission statement: https://www.uoguelph.ca/secretariat/mission

as of post - there is no mention of the importance of "discretion".

.@uofg@twitter.com @UofGPresident@twitter.com, you asked for cost saving suggestions. Here's one: discontinue the hiring bloat of upper admin.

Interesting how the phrase "high degree of discretion" is prominent.

How does "discretion" fit within your understanding of the #UofG mandate?

#introduction

I'm Tyler Morgan (she/her), a postdoc at #sfim / #nimh / #nih working on #fMRI / #layerfMRI / #7TMRI / #mrirecon methods for #neuroscience projects.

I earned my PhD in Neuroscience & Psychology from the University of Glasgow (#UofG #PsychNeuro). That work focused on predictive and contextual information in cortical feedback.

Thanks so much @uglibrary@twitter.com - mere moments after suggesting that our #UofG #library needed a copy of the #InsectCrisis by @olliemilman@twitter.com I received confirmation that the acquisition team was on the case - fantastic news and #ThankYou! #libraries,
