What is “the E-Bike Effect?” “Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%.” Fewer car trips. Via @lloydalter.bsky.social

Coming back from vacation and reflecting a great read. Bebías Into Ohndaa Ke: Queer indigenous Knowledge for Land and Community. Many powerful stories. Thanks to my student Jacob Smallboy for the recommendation and lending his copy 📚🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌈🪶

Native Bio's notoriety keeps skyrocketing upwards. We have always been part of Indigenous Data discussions but now we are colleagues with Indigenous organizations around the Globe! #IDSov is here to stay. The notion is spreading to African American, South African and European populations!

I’m excited to attend Phyllosphere12 🌱🌿🧬🦠 - the 12th International Symposium on Leaf Surface Microbiology - in Okinawa, Japan 🇯🇵 graciously hosted by OIST www.oist.jp/conference/p...

One of the things I love about my job: forming a mutual aid network with other native academic aunties. #IndigeLab

Ice roads are a lifeline for First Nations. As Canada warms, they’re disappearing. Indigenous peoples are navigating the slow collapse of winter roads — and an even slower pace of help. grist.org/indigenous/i... #Indigenous #Climate #Trucking #Canada #Tribes #Environment

Brilliant new paper by Jill Anderson and colleagues using 9 years of transplant experiments and integral projection models to predict the capacity of populations for adaptation and persistence under new climates in Boechera stricta. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

“We found there’s this perfect one-to-one relationship. If a city increased its road capacity by 10% then driving in that city went up by 10%.” Still one of the best articles on why building bigger roads leads to more driving. Understanding #InducedDemand Via @wired.com

Audubon's work on conservation was also fraught. Audubon’s research benefited from information & specimens collected by enslaved Black men/Indigenous people. Instead of recognizing their contributions, he referred to them as “hands” traveling along with white men. theconversation.com/american-env...

There’s still 5 days left to submit an application for Assistant Professor in Transdisciplinary Wildfire Sciences! If you were looking for your sign to apply, this is it! 🔥🪵🌲 #UBC #Forestry #ForestConservationSciences #TenureTrack #JobAlert @forestry.ubc.ca

“The US may have decided to turn protectionist, but the rest of the world does not have to follow the same path. We will identify other partners..to ensure resilience and maintain critical parts of the multilateral system while laying the foundations for a..new and different global system.” (~19:15)

This is ominous. I can’t see a single ship coming into or going out of the Golden Gate.

Ignace Lab PhD student, Miah Godek, has advanced to candidacy! 🎉 I was impressed by the depth and breadth of knowledge during the comprehensive exam. Miah is also co-advised by the awesome @warrencm.bsky.social and studying the impacts of fire on the below-ground community in the Okanagan Valley.

And the final results are in. Orr and Maloney in a blowout, with Orr on more than half the ballots cast — an impressive result on a crowded ballot, even in a byelection context. ABC gets around 13% of the vote, slightly ahead of how Vision did in the 2017 byelection when they were in power.

This! Research shows that protests 1) raise awareness, 2) empower people (especially the disadvantaged), and 3) exert pressure on elites. Anyone saying they don’t work is unfamiliar with the research and the history of movement building.

Yesterday we held the UW-Madison Indigenous Research Forum. I’m proud my postdoc Yowelunh McLester-Davis for organizing the conference, and to former Simcox lab undergrad Mariaya Jackson for winning second place award for a flash talk. My heart is full and ready to rise another day.

#NAISA video with from the 2024 Native American and Indigenous Studies Association in Norway. #NAISA2025 in Oklahoma will see reduced attendance due to international travel risks to the US. Hoping for hybrid capacity, not originally planned. I have one international panel, including Sámi speakers.

Istanbul. Over 2 million people joined the demonstration.

This morning, the Bay of Fundy and I greeted eachother with a smile. A partial solar sunrise eclipse painted bold colours across the horizon, decorated with the silhouette of a ring-billed gull flying over head.

As infuriating and abhorrent as this is, it's standard colonizer violence, which colonizer laws and doctrines will always work to justify. How do colonizers come to terms with being treated as they've treated others? It must involve historical honesty and restitution.

Welp. It happened. Our NIH training grant was terminated on Friday. Just highlighting this incredibly derisive language used in our termination notice. To focus on the positives, see some of the great things our undergraduates have done over the last couple of years: web.uri.edu/esteemed/

For folks who don’t know, ethnic studies programs like African American/Africana Studies, Asian American Studies, Chicano Studies and the like come directly from civil right era campus activism. Attempts to disempower such programs should be framed as attacks on civil rights same as much else rn.

Sámi need better legal protections to save their homelands. Indigenous territories are sacrificed for global climate goals. grist.org/global-indig... #Indigenous #Sámi #Climate #Norway #Sweden #Finland

Le Monde reporting that a French scientist traveling to Houston to attend a conference was denied entry to US after a search of his phone & computer revealed messages critical of Trump's science cuts, "which [says CPB] conveyed hatred of Trump & could be qualified as terrorism".
