Below is a list of organizations and people I respect and recommend, with a few comments about why.
Arctic atmospheric research
CREATE Arctic Science blog, Instagram, & Twitter.
- Great stories and photos from researchers in the high Arctic working at PEARL.
- I created and used to run these accounts 😉
Photo Journal for annual ACE satellite validation campaigns at PEARL
- Great photos from the latest intensive 3-week research trips to PEARL for satellite validation
- I was the communications/webmaster lead for these campaigns from 2012-2015
Education
- An annual springtime event aimed at engaging all Canadians with science and researchers!
- I used to volunteer with them (creating new programs and events), and look back fondly at the experience.
- A wonderful organization encouraging students to create their own research.
- I helped organize their 2011 event in Toronto and was very impressed with the organization and the students. I wish my high school teacher’s had been involved!
- Compiling the best of Canadian science blogs – hear about research straight from the lab.
Advocacy
- I believe in their mission to advocate for robust science funding in Canada and evidence-based decision making.
- I’ve been on the Board of Directors since 2013.
- Follow E4D on Twitter and Facebook for updates, or become a volunteer.
Please feel free to get in touch if you want to know more.
Science policy
Toronto Science Policy Network
- They create great events in Toronto to interface with science policy issues
Music
- Aaron’s a good friend of mine, and a great musician/producer/engineer. Check him out! Even better, hire him 😉
- Tyler and I have been friends since elementary school and played some shows together during high school. He has immense talent as a songwriter. He plays regularly around Ottawa, and is always an entertaining performer.
Photography
- I was on a few high Arctic research campaign teams with Paul (2013-2015). He’s a great photographer and super nice guy.
