CALL FOR APPLICATIONS: Early Career Editorial Fellows (2026–2028) for @jgrbiogeo.bsky.social This program provides early-career researchers with hands-on experience in scholarly publishing and editorial processes. (Details in thread.) forms.monday.com/forms/376263...

This is an interesting read but this whole concept worries me from an ethical standpoint and reminds me of early radio payola.

Has anybody imported tree cores into the US and can give me some pointers on paperwork? 🌎🧪

The money was always there for the good things.

NEW — My first true foray into AI haterdom is about how those of us not convinced by AI’s inevitability are a real constituency worthy of a voice. Give it a read:

Chowder for breakfast, and chowder for dinner, and chowder for supper, till you began to look for fish-bones coming through your clothes.

Outsourcing thinking for which you’re being paid is a despicable form of cheating.

I am sure I have some off-the-wall opinions and my writing is meh at best, but I feel I could do better than these jabronis.

Obviously Donald Trump is not an expert in refrigerants, but you can be, and understand why these decisions can be hugely consequential for climate change, if you read this quick 🧵:

Fantastic writing tips by Marcus Rediker. pghrev.com/sixteen-writ...

Hard, hard agree

Gentle reminder, but it is totally okay to be outright hostile towards LLM/ generative materials.

Canoe training with ecology lab on the James as the temps approach 100 today. 😕

This is so good.

This whole thread is on point and hilarious. And the R1 I work at we don't even have a football team. Basketball teams are pretty good though 😉.

Procrastinating on my van training is definitely biting me in the ass right now 😕

There is a timeline where we all respected the word "data" as being plural.

This is depressingly true😕

🌲NOW OPEN: Up to $30 million is available through CAL FIRE’s NEW Regional Wildfire and Landscape Resilience Grant Program, funded by the 2024 California Climate Bond (Proposition 4). Learn more, see who is eligible to apply, and find workshop information: fire.ca.gov/grants

Many talk about ecological complexity, but is the concept useful in practice? Our new paper shows complexity is measurable in the field & can be restored But it isn’t reducible to simple indicators - we must measure multiple ecosystem properties besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

I might be biased, but I think @biodivyu.bsky.social has the most creative poster in the room. Go interact! Learn cool science spanning design to ecology and Hong Kong to Montreal! #csee2026

I think this post is gone now, but honestly I like BlueSky because of the distinct LACK of influencers.

Charlotte--a completely empty, soulless, ahistorical monument to banality.

Lidar demos online are wild.

There is no kingdom like the forests.

Finally, some voices of sanity

Do I know anyone on here who has an elemental analyzer in their lab? Hit me up if so.

Truth

“Use AI to brainstorm but not to write.” “Use AI to help you outline but not to write.” These are commonly proposed as “ethical” ways for undergrad students to use AI, but I’m sorry, brainstorming & outlining are just as integral to writing as the actual construction of sentences.

now thats an anecdote with a punch, from Gillian Tett www.ft.com/content/c0ae...

Can we use drones to meausure below-canopy forest microclimate? 🌳 Our study suggests that thermal cameras on drones show potential for predicting forest microclimate, particularly when derived from multiple flights across a growing season @lipingwei.bsky.social 📃: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Excited to share our new paper on how tree community resource economics shape soil food web multifunctionality across European forests! 🌲🌍 We quantified how energy flows through microbes, fungi, detritivores, herbivores and predators beneath the forest floor. rdcu.be/fhmF2

US wildfires have *doubled* the previous record for this time of year. We've already burned more land than in many full years this century

Are you interested in tropical ecology, habitat fragmentation, plant-animal interactions, plant demography, and doing a PhD? Let's talk about your application for a Simons Graduate Fellowship: www.simonsfoundation.org/grant/simons... No restrictions based on citizenship!

Came to ForestSAT and gave a talk on baseball, but people seemed to like it.

My new neoluddite campaign will focus on retro presentation slides. Blue backgrounds, white text, clip art, crude animations.

Join us this week at #ForestSAT2026! Our lab is hosting two sessions on #hurricane resilient forests (May 4-8, Gainesville, FL). See our talks here (lnkd.in/epdQ6r6Z) We'll be showcasing terrestrial #lidar, UAV & satellite remote sensing innovations for forest ecology & management

They put the wavelet coherence on the carpet. Viridis no less.

Can 3D scanning help cities manage trees better? From 1–5 June 2026 in Bratislava, our 3D Urban Tree Intelligence hackathon will test sensors, workflows and practical outputs for urban tree monitoring. Companies, cities and researchers, check it out: martinmokros.github.io/3D-Urban-Tre...

Penn State Biology is hiring! We have an opening for a tenure-line faculty position in plant biology - if you'd like to pursue awesome science in a supportive and interdisciplinary community of researchers, consider applying! psu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/PSU_Ac...

Fade into you - Mazzy Star Punk as fuck - American Analog Set Broken chairs - Built to Spill Late Century Dream - Superchunk Then I dunno a bunch of Clash songs maybe.

I am just now learning about manganese speciation, but man do we have some cool early results from an associated study to our wildfire sim experiment.

Gas shot up here another $ 0.30 this past week but yeah man, crypto gonna fix it.

Cerrado peatlands are hidden carbon stores, but how do they change through the year? In my latest @botany.one post, I cover Larissa Verona’s research on how seasonality shapes carbon and methane fluxes. 💧🌾🌴 #Botany #PlantScience #SciComm 🧪 www.botany.one/the-cerrados...

Jim is such an amazing scientist and person and I feel very fortunate to have been able to work with him and learn from him.

Please repost: My department at USC is hiring for a teaching-track faculty position. We are looking for someone principally to teach statistics for biologists, but there will be opportunities for other courses in statistics & algorithms applied to biology usccareers.usc.edu/job/los-ange...
