I interview a lot of international scientists. Without fail, every single conversation starts with some version of: "We are watching in horror. How can this be happening in the US?"

Dear federal scientists: If you have been affected by the probationary firings and would be willing to speak with Science, please reach out to me by email ([email protected]) or on Signal. We can guarantee annonymity.

I have been trying to keep track of the California fires today. Here are a few resources I like for tracking the fire location, including a couple sites that collate satellite data. Do you have other good resources to share? (1/n) NASA's FIRMS: firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/map/#t:tsd;d...

Researchers at Purdue University recently developed the iForester app to make it easy and fast for foresters to measure the diameters of tree trunks, not the branches. Seemed to work ok for this year’s National Christmas Tree by the White House, though. Happy holidays, whatever you celebrate!

With help from a tiny tracking tag, "murder hornets" have been eradicated in the US. I like this quote: “I’ve gotta tell you, as an entomologist — I’ve been doing this for over 25 years now, and it is a rare day when the humans actually get to win one against the insects.” apnews.com/article/murd...

Climate change is affecting where species can live. In some ways, we can think about the changing ranges of native species using the theoretical frameworks developed for biological invasions. @haleyflickinger.bsky.social explores these ideas in this new paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Interested in learning how people got started as plant scientists? My @carnegiescience.bsky.social colleague @aburlacot.bsky.social has done a series of interviews for The Green Light, with new episodes now coming out each week. Here’s episode 2.

Just saw this shot from the site where I do some of my local fieldwork. It brings home the presence of mountain lions to me in a way that no other pictures have. I *thought* I saw one of these cats once while working there, but it was so fleeting I'm not even sure.

Nutrient Dilution and the Future of Herbivores: a short thread The fossil fuel folks claimed that all the extra CO2 is great for plants. Indeed, plant mass has increased globally by about 30% in the past century. But when you load a plant up the carbs, what happens to all its other nutrients?

We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how: docs.bsky.app/docs/advance... #AcademicSky #HigherEd #Altmetrics

China just connected a huge 1GW solar farm to the grid that's almost 5 square miles (>12 sq km) and FLOATING off their Pacific coast. It doubles as a fish farm. And they're gearing up to do more of these. www.pv-tech.org/chinas-chn-e...

Do you write grants that require listing your recent collaborators? Creating that list can take a long time, but this page does the work for you! This will save the scientific community many thousands of hours. Thanks, Jordan! 🧪

New YouTube series "The Green Light" premieres today and features me discussing why I became a plant ecologist, what researchers in my group are working on now (climate responses etc.), whether using plants to try to mop up the atmosphere is realistic, etc. 🌳💚🧪 www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwMS...

New preprint up! We sequenced hundreds of samples from across one of Earth's oldest living organisms - the Pando aspen clone - to understand how mutations accumulate and spread in long-lived clonal organisms. Our results were…surprising. 1/30

Hello friends. I appreciate the active debunking of multiple conspiracy stories about weather “control” and relief agencies. These injure the vulnerable by undermining faith in the very institutions most capable of helping them. May I share with you something about the word “debunk”? 1/

New paper led by @magdagarbowski.bsky.social uses data from all across the continental US to show how invasive (really, naturalized) species have caused widespread, consistent shifts in the characteristics (traits) of plant communities. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
