I'm very sad to say William Bond, of the University of Cape Town & Fellow of the Royal Society (@royalsociety.org ), has passed away. It is a great loss. He was an enthusiastic ecologist and a critical thinker. I learned a lot, and I still had a lot to learn from him. RIP. 😢 🧪🌎🔥🌿🌳🪴🌐 #PlantScience

Forest health in the Rocky Mountains declines, which is why we looked into drought resilience via in situ stable isotope measurements of soil & tree waters on daily basis. We found that aspen are adjusting their water uptake dynamics within days to water availability changes. doi.org/10.1029/2024...

The stories we tell matter. I know this not from watching but from memory. I was just a child, held behind barbed wire in a U.S. internment camp, when an atomic bomb obliterated Hiroshima—killing members of my family.

I do bloody love this chart. Who'd have thought, 20 years ago, that solar would be ~10% of world electricity generation by 2024 - and over 20% in some countries, rising rapidly in others? Definitely not me. When I started this job I hoped to be part of a solution for maybe 1% of global electricity.
