Great opportunity! EDF is hiring a wildfire scientist to conduct research and help coordinate the science strategy associated with the new FireSat satellite mission 🧪🔥

Back from a week of field work to kick off summer data collection. Lots of beauty, as always, but the delayed post-fire mortality mediated by bark beetles in the large ponderosa pines was disheartening.

Great news - we will be searching for a tree physiologist (tenure track) to join the Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences, UBC Forestry, later this year. Stay tuned! (Please share.)

Very well stated summary of the history of the United States scientific leadership and of the impact of this administration in a very short time.

Atmospheric CO2 has passed 430 parts per million. The last time atmospheric CO2 was at 430 ppm was during the ancient Pliocene Era, three to five million years ago, and humans didn’t exist.

What a loss this would be. Keep calling your representatives.

If you have data posted on the USFS research data archive make sure you have a copy backed up. The data archive may be taken down. “The FS Research Data Archive offers a catalog of hundreds of research datasets funded by Forest Service R&D or by the Joint Fire Science Program”

Gifford Pinchot famously wrote, “Where conflicting interests must be reconciled, the question shall always be answered from the standpoint of the greatest good of the greatest number in the long run.”

Breaking news: The U.S. Department of Energy today announced it is unilaterally cutting in half the overhead rate on its academic grants, something that a federal judge recently told the National Institutes of Health it could not do.

Hi Bluesky 🔥🌿 We’re the International Journal of Wildland Fire – the peer-reviewed journal of the International Association of Wildland Fire (IAWF), publishing research on all aspects of wildland fire science, including ecological impacts, fire modelling, management, and policy. #IntlJWildlandFire

I have an exciting opportunity for a PhD student interested in fire ecology and threatened West Australian mammals including the iconic numbat. For more details and to apply see here: nrmjobs.com.au/jobs/2025/20...

Enjoyed reading this wonderful new paper on fire-adapted traits in North American conifers, yesterday. And here is a post about it today!

Huge turnout for #handsoff in #missoula #montana today.

Good turnout at the #standupforscience2025 event in #Missoula #Montana yesterday.

Have you ever had someone you care about the impacted by a tornado, a hurricane, an earthquake, a wildfire? Evidence based decision-making helps keep us safe and ecosystems healthy. Science helps protect us. Now it’s our turn to fight to protect the scientific enterprise in the US. #missoula 🧪
