Hi, I’m Will, a graduate student at McGill University in Montreal, Canada

If you’re interested in oysters, have a look at this blog post about Vibrio contamination, part of my work in the ECAB Lab. You can find content from my first year in the lab at Geography/ECAB.

If you’re here for the watershed maps, you can find them in the Geography/Maps tab.

Some of the maps were featured in this CBC article — "Next Stop Bartibog".

If you are looking for the Mi’kmaw conjugator, more information and background can be found in the Languages/Mi’kmaw tab.

What is this for?

This is supposed to be a repository for all the things that I do and have no place elsewhere for – my ‘corner’ of the internet. Hopefully some of this is helpful and/or interesting!

Projects & Themes

See the navigation menu at the top for a full list of topics. I am deeply interested in geography/the environment, and linguistics. Much of what is on this site falls into one of those categories.

Can I use what’s on here?

Of course! I have provided download links for plenty of PDFs that might be useful in some way or another. If you want to ask me about anything, please use the contact form.
