First, the view from Hillcrest Park and the marina!

Extinction and Evolution: Groundbreaking study revises biodiversity's origins

An international team of scientists has made a groundbreaking discovery that could reshape our understanding of how global biodiversity evolved.

Now that I've switched instances, it's time for an #introduction toot.

Hi Mastodon, I'm Stephen Childs. I am a #Canadian from #ThunderBay now living in #Kitchener.

I'm interested in #ttrpg #boardgames #scifi #fantasy

I studied economics at #LakeheadUniversity and #wlu and am interested in #DataScience #statistics #Python and #RStats At #YorkUniversity I work to better understand our #data.

I am currently a board member of #CIRPA #InstitutionalResearch #IRwatercooler

In highschool I did a #project that involved 'cloning' carrots. Pretty cool process. At the end I had a mass of "undifferentiated" carrot cells. I think Mendel would have been proud.

So it would be logical I went on to study biology right? Nope. Studied Parks and Recreation at #LakeheadUniversity. Now I do data and information management within the Government of Canada #GC.

I chose the journey over the destination.
