A 2022 study in #ScienceAdvances estimates that wind power in the U.S. has increased health benefits nationally due to improved air quality, but its community-level impacts on pollution exposure disparities are mixed. Learn more on #GlobalWindDay:

Hiring a data/lab manager in my research group! Mostly data “wrangling”, data viz, coding for analysis, lots of learning on the job, coordinating our global data projects with many collaborators, oversight of lab operations. 23 June deadline. Job # 78844 jobs.universityofcalifornia.edu

Another wonderful CESAB FOOD-WEBS working group meeting!. Such a wonderful and productive time (managed to submit 2 papers during the meeting) Special thanks to @profchrisharrod.bsky.social for hosting us at @sceneuog.bsky.social in Scotland! Funding: @frbiodiv.bsky.social

Madison, WI does not disappoint. #nokings

📌As always, Madison, WI, more then held its own today protesting against the orange, ghastly wannabe king, but the shadow of the gruesome political slaughter in Minnesota, and the masked, fascist marauders who are sweeping people off our streets loomed menacingly over a democracy in radical decline.

This new map provides a global view of the distribution of a multitude of aquatic ecosystems, including various wetlands. It's a pretty big step forward, and I look forward to seeing how it will be used e.g. to study wetland greenhouse gases. essd.copernicus.org/articles/17/...

How bad will it be? Catastrophic. Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come. But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget. Speak up now before it is too late. (inflation adjusted $-s below)

What a sad and unbelievable news! I think Trump has fundamentally misunderstood that we have been supported by money and economy than biodiversity, ecosystem, and nature, and he does not know all industrial fields are connected to biology and ecology. Don’t kill our ecosystems and planet!!

Yay!! Our paper has been accepted! It's my first first-author paper for the first time in two years. I'm sooooo happy and am looking forward to publishing it! I learned a lot from the constructive and helpful suggestions from the handling editor and the excellent reviewers.

Great to see that this massive data paper is finally out. My individual contribution would be minimal, but collectively epanded the horizon significantly! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Most Americans frequently use federal science information. But few are concerned that cuts to federal science spending could affect their access to such information, a new poll finds.

Besides the gorgeous journal cover, the article it links to uses 724 classic Chinese poems to estimate the range contraction of the Yangtze finless porpoise over 1400 years. These animals are threatened by human activity, have intelligence comparable to a gorilla & are critically endangered.

Four site exchange fellows were funded this year to travel to other LTER sites and learn skills. We're really excited to hear how these trips accelerate science across the network!

Our adventure done! Have to leave Sarufutsu. I learned a lot during the field trip and recognized the complexity and amazingness of nature.

Day 5 in our adventure field trip. Today we walked 9 km snow-covered riversides. Please look at this beautiful meandering river.

Our field adventure in Sarufutsu. In Day 4, We walked 17 km of snow-covered woods paths. My snowshoe was broken. So we decided to use one of a pair.

We’re in Sarufutsu to survey the distribution of Sakhalin Taimen. Now is their spawning season!!
