Time I got to do a review=10 days. Time it took a journal to make a decision about my paper= 6 months. Please give reviewers at least 2 weeks. We are volunteering our time!

Because every research lab website should give a shoutout to the real MVPs—our pets—for supporting us during these challenging times. www.melissalucash.com/who-we-are

History of steel production is not nearly as tidy as depicted on the placards. #Bethlehem

This term speaks to me- “credentialism,” by which women hoped that if they accrued enough credentials, their gender became irrelevant. (It did not.)

One of the best parts of science is working with smart, wonderful collaborators. Burn table experiments with Lisa Ellsworth today @oregonstate.edu

Saw a huge explosion of CA tortoiseshell butterflies today in the Cascades. So beautiful to witness!

Hiked at Silver Falls today- my fav state park in Oregon

Always grateful for all the public beaches in Oregon

What's the most disgusting thing you've found in the lab you inherited? 🌍 Summer #TEEL_Lab cleaning today revealed this tasty chocolate bunny that pre-dated me (at least 5yo).

Our fun field day taught me: 1) upland ash exist (i.e. its not just a stream tree), 2) poison oak likes to hang out with ash, 3) baking soda helps to relieve itching of poison oak.

How bad will it be? Catastrophic. Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come. But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget. Speak up now before it is too late. (inflation adjusted $-s below)

Upcoming @uoregon.bsky.social seminar. 🌍🌲

New @carbonpulse.bsky.social article: “Forest carbon protocols are currently yielding low-quality credits, and need to be strengthened according to a report published on Thursday led by top forest scientists.” 🌲 Check out CATF’s new scorecard and report: www.forestcarbonprotocols.org

What's the skinny from our new paper on forest carbon credits? They are of LOW quality! Our report outlines strategies to improve them @cleanaircatf.bsky.social 🌲🌍

Writeup about our new pub: “There’s been a lot of appetite for carbon credits so corporations can meet their sustainability goals, but some of the credits that have been sold have been found to be dubious at best". #TEEL_Lab www.bu.edu/articles/202...

🚨BREAKING🚨 Weak forest carbon credit protocols undermine trust in carbon markets. In a new study, leading scientists recommend ways to strengthen standards to ensure lasting climate impacts. forestcarbonprotocols.org

Next “Exploring Careers in Ecology” webinar series by @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social * April 15, 2-3 PM EST * Panelists Rese Cloyd (also incoming ESA President!) & me * Register: esa.zoom.us/webinar/regi... #ConservationJobs

Happy Friday! #Geography #GIS #mapping #cartography Maps by @jameslamping.bsky.social #TEEL_LAB

Our new paper is out in Forest Ecology and Management! Utilizing data from multiple forest inventory programs, we created 35 spatially complete estimates of forest structure and composition across the coastal regions of Alaska and British Columbia. 🌍🌐 authors.elsevier.com/a/1kgiv1L%7E...

Just got off a call with a long-running collaboration supporting transboundary climate resilience in Washington & British Columbia, and I've never felt more viscerally how transboundary work is as much about building trust and goodwill among nations as its more tangible outcomes.

Excited to share my MS research! We used the LANDIS-II model to explore how landscape planning can balance wood demand, biodiversity, and carbon storage in a changing climate. Huge thanks to @mattbetts42.bsky.social, @melissalucash.bsky.social, and Neil Williams for all their help along the way!

Increased demand for wood, in combination with climate change and fires, pose serious challenges for biodiversity and carbon storage. Which landscape planning strategies minimize negative impacts? New paper by @colinmast.bsky.social! 🧪https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10980-024-02041-5

#TEEL_LAB at UO

Every year at UO, I have a new group of students/staff who are smart, kind and productive. I think the world of them, and I can't wait to see what their future holds.

Postdoc opportunity w/Solomon Dobrowski and me! U Montana, in partnership with the NC Climate Adaptation Science Center, is hiring a talented scientist with an interest in climate connectivity and species range shifts among protected areas. $70k/year. #SpeciesOnTheMove #RangeShifts

I spend my days supporting my grad students, but today they supported me. #TEEL_LAB After another rejection on Fri, I’ve officially given up my dream of becoming a tenure-track professor.

I'm so excited! My dear friend Rese Cloyd will be serving as the new president of @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social

When you've been friends for a long time... Thanks #AGU24 for reuniting grad school friends!

Great visit to the National Parks Foundation office with @jameslamping.bsky.social while at #AGU24. What a lovely office kitchen!

Our lab discussing careers with Rese Cloyd, associate director of USFWS in D.C. (while eating delicious Ethiopian food). #TEEL_LAB @jameslamping.bsky.social

UO newsletter about the fabulous #drone course taught by @jameslamping.bsky.social PD in my lab. cas.uoregon.edu/cas-connecti...

A few terms ago I was given the opportunity to teach the Mapping with Drones course at @uoregon.bsky.social! The students in the class were driven and they all blew me away with the effort they put into the course. We taught survey methods, RTK GPS systems, lidar processing, multispectral, etc.

Come see Rebecca's #AGU24 talk based on our upcoming paper on carbon credits. GC31B-02. Wed at 8.39am. Conv center, Salon B.

My BlueSky Roasting is kind of adorable.

Excited for #AGU24? So are we! The #TEEL lab has talks focusing on fire and vegetation dynamics in boreal AK, species composition shifts in Siberia, and forest structure in southeast AK and BC. Check out the sessions below or scan the QR codes in the graphic for all the details.

hey everyone! i made a list of some useful starter packs (primarily biology/earth sciences with a few bonus things thrown in) to share with friends who have joined bsky in the last week and thought it may be useful for some people here too! 🌍🧪 #SciSky #BioSky docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Hi! I'm Jalene. I study how and why population patterns vary over time & space. My lab studies tree reproduction 🌲 🌳, consumer-resource dynamics, & climate change. From 🇨🇦, 2 cats, baker. I recently moved to St. Louis for a new job. More on my move & me, at the link. blogs.umsl.edu/news/2024/11...

I'm hiring a postdoc for a new project funded by Joint Fire Sciences to study juniper/pine invasion in the sagebrush steppe. Application due Tues. Join our wonderful research group @uoregon! #Postdocs careers.uoregon.edu/en-us/job/53...

🚨 We’re hiring! 🚨 Join our lab at University of Oregon as a Postdoc in the Terrestrial Ecosystem Ecology & Landscapes (TEEL) lab. You’ll be working with some great folks looking at fuel management and fire in the sagebrush steppe! careers.uoregon.edu/en-us/job/53... #Postdoc #Ecology #AcademicJobs
