Amy Angert and I are recruiting a #postdoc to participate in a collaborative NSF-funded study of demographic responses to climate across the geographic range of the scarlet monkeyflower. Please repost! jobs.ncsu.edu/postings/224...

Amy Bowers Cordalis’ new book, The Water Remembers, weaves together memoir, historical narrative nonfiction, legal battles and family to tell the story of the largest dam removal project in history. buff.ly/Ev5kjMH

Applications are currently being accepted for UBC's ✨️ Biodiversity Postdoctoral Fellowship ✨️ (two positions!!), due Jan. 15 Please share far and wide 🚀 (See thread)

New paper out today in Ecology Letters! In this synthesis we dive into the equilibrium assumption in ecology - why it's everywhere in ecological theory, the evidence for it in nature, when meeting the assumption is important, how to achieve it in empirical research, and more! tinyurl.com/yh6kyysm

Was reminded on a beautiful trip to the Klamath River today how intensely we would love to collaborate with folks studying pollinators in this space. Amazing restoration of the reservoirs with so much going on. N CA and OR pollinator peeps, we have veg data and would love to chat!

Turns out that planted Jeffrey pine seedlings in the eastern Sierra have higher survival under shrubs than in the open. Most foresters will tell you that shrubs are detrimental, but most of that data come from more productive, western slope sites where shrubs get much bigger 🤔

WOCinEEB is preparing for this year's round of mentorship groups, so it's a great time to connect!

The Women of Color in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology community (WOCinEEB; non-binary inclusive) is doing another round of matching for one-on-one mentorship! You can sign up here: forms.gle/Cfk3Y5CZksSS... I'm also happy to answer any questions! #Mentorship #Ecology #EvolutionaryBiology

If you're interested in what two years of revegetation look like in the Klamath reservoirs, I'm presenting this Thursday at the Native Plant Society of Oregon, Siskiyou chapter meeting!

Last two days to apply! #postdocjobs #remotesensing #ecology

Spooky season approaches, so I'm going to repost some of my Halloween comics from years past.

Join the Laughlin lab and our new NSF funded project! Awesome opportunity to visit forests across the western US and examine the functional basis of demographic responses to drought and wildfire.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Really looking forward to meeting and learning from amazing scientists and restoration practitioners this week! Anyone else going to be at #SER2025 in Denver? 🌱 🦋

I know it can feel like shouting into the void, but judges consider these public comments when weighing decisions

Today is the last day to share your thoughts on the federal government's plan to revoke the roadless rule on Forest Service lands. When the clock strikes midnight (ET), the comment portal will close. Looking for your Cinderella moment? Go comment now!!!

We do science at places like Teakettle in the hopes of informing better decisions. But moments like these make it feel like our science is just informing future historians of our decline.

We know diversity = more ideas, novelty, advancement and desirable outcomes but how do we recruit and retain diversity? In our paper, me and other LGBTQ+ restoration ecologists outline issues and solutions to retaining and supporting queer ecologists onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

They fired probationary employees across the federal government on Feb 14 as a scare tactic to shrink the federal government. And it worked. The US Forest Service subsequently lost 25% of its staff due to voluntary early retirement and deferred resignation offers.

I mean, if you need to make the clarification...

🚨Published today🚨We highlight 3 areas to support Indigenous-led fire: sustained funding, regulatory flexibility, & community partnerships 🔥🌿 #goodfire #wildfire #Indigenous

I'm bizarrely happy my IRACDA grant wasn't restored, so I don't have to grieve it all over again... But also, this sucks for so many scientists & repercussions will be felt by all Americans & folks around the world, even if they don't know it. #StandUpForScience #ScienceIsForEveryone #FundScience

MSU Plant Bio is hiring a new herbarium director! Our herbarium is a wonderful resource on campus and I'm excited to have the opportunity to make it even better by bringing in a new director. Details here: plantbiology.natsci.msu.edu/job-postings...

I didn’t want to see helpless humans. I’d rather see smart ones rescuing each other.

I’m just a girl screaming into the void that the destruction of our institutions WAS THE ENTIRE POINT. This is why @timothysnyder.bsky.social’s *SECOND* (of 21!) lesson in his book On Tyranny is “Defend Institutions”

The Republican-backed budget bill that passed in the U.S. Senate Tuesday authorizes dramatic increases to logging on federal lands managed by the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. But Oregon counties won’t see most of those revenues if the bill clears the U.S. House unchanged.

Circe says we're all set for tonight! She won't be able to join me, but I hear some friends are bringing their dogs. Join us at Sceptre tonight at 7. Come with all your questions about animal behavior & science! #Atlanta #MeetAScientist #StandUpForScience #Sci4GA #FundScience

I'm not pointing fingers at anybody but I do see #USDA left out of a lot of the reporting on cuts to federal research funding, and USDA funds a LOT of research!!! Food safety! Ag sustainability! Making our food supply chains more resilient!!!

The Siletz Tribe received a $1.56 million grant to reintroduce Xvlh-t’vsh.

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

👋 I'm doing this teach-in as part of the @standupforscience.bsky.social Summer Fight for Science! Come w all your ⁉️ about your pets' behavior. I'll do my best to answer—or at least talk about how scientists like me are trying to answer them! #Atlanta area folks, help us get the word out!

I'm just so fucking mad. There was absolutely no reason for this decision except money. It's insulting to naturalists and taxonomists to imply we can't explain how to identify species. If they had asked volunteers to create species identification wiki pages, users would have jumped at it.

Details TBD, but I'm planning to do a teach-in later this month! Tentative topic: "How do our pets think? And how do we know?" 🐶🐈‍⬛ Fellow scientists: what spiel can *you* give to a general audience? Everyone: what do you want to hear about? #StandUpForScience #FundScience #Dogs #Cats #Animals

Happy Pride from California Native Plants!

Pit toilet at a popular trailhead in worse shape than I've ever seen it. #FederalCutsStink

Silencing scientists doesn’t make the facts go away. It just makes our country less safe, less informed, and less free.

Woohoo! SOU Softball taking home the NAIA championship after loosing their first game, proceeding to fight their way through the entire lower bracket, and defeating Oklahoma City twice to win the whole thing ❤️🖤❤️

You've already heard the impact of federal cuts on health research, but what about research on the environment? That picture isn't exactly pretty either. My latest for @highcountrynews.org, on how the stellar field science at the U.S. Forest Service is under threat.
