WWA's latest rapid assessment is on the 2025-2026 extreme #snowdrought in CO, UT, and WY. The assessment covers the magnitude of extreme low snow-water equivalent (SWE) conditions in early 2026, likely causes of the snow drought, and more. wwa.colorado.edu/resources/ha... @cires.colorado.edu

Graduate fellowship opportunity for prospective PhDs! Let me know if you want to chat about potential projects in wildfire, management/conservation of working landscapes, and/or applications of causal inference to ecology! www.simonsfoundation.org/grant/simons...

In this moment, Tennessee Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social looks to Fannie Lou Hamer, Medgar Evers, MLK Jr — "What they carried in their heart was that this country could be different…I am an inheritor of that legacy. And I have a responsibility to…fight for the kids whose names I will never know."

I say it again and again: Because we don’t learn the real history of this country, we do not understand what this country is capable of. After 1870, 22 Black men served in Congress. By 1901, because of racist SCOTUS rulings, electoral coups and election cheating and violence, there were none.

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.” - 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas. Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

When they make movies about this in the future they will tone down the cruelty of ICE and border patrol, like Spielberg did with Goeth in Schindler's List, because no one will believe they were actually this monstrous.

Excited to be in the company of such accomplished scientists! (Including at least 2 other @natureatcal.bsky.social alums!)

Causal inference in action, led by Hilary Brumberg!

This morning at @propublica.org, we published a pair of stories about the children held at the immigrant detention center for families in Dilley, Texas. www.propublica.org/article/life...

"It may take time to prove you're right, but you have to stick to it." - Fred Korematsu Jailed for refusing to abide by FDR's Exec Order 9066, he took his case against internment all the way to the Supreme Court - and lost. Remember him on Korematsu Day, January 30th. 1/

ICE is an environmental issue. ICE is a public health issue. ICE is a disability issue. ICE is a LGBTQ+ issue. ICE is a children rights issue. ICE is a women’s rights isssue. ICE is violating all our rights. We need everyone to recognize that we are in this fight together.

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine is seeking expert nominations for an independent review of the United by Nature draft assessment. Ecologists—consider nominating yourself or a colleague! ✅ Deadline: Dec 15 🔗https://tinyurl.com/nvw86sza

In 2018, 5 other grad students + I teamed up to combine our interdisciplinary backgrounds (landscape ecology, remote sensing, human-environment geography + more) to study deforestation dynamics in the Amazon’s protected areas. In 2025, we've all graduated but we’re still thinking about this question

25 years after the World Commission on Dams reckoned with the socio-environmental impacts of dams, we are in the midst of another dam boom, causing lots of conflict around the world. We just published an open-access review of dam conflicts post-2000 in World Development. Pdf and thread👇

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.

If you work on climate change and health, but are striking out in the current funding landscape, this might be the job for you. We're looking for someone who can do a lot of work in one year to launch something big. If you think that's you, take a look at our lab website, and then drop me an email:

Applications are open for SFI's 2026 Complexity Postdoctoral Fellowships If you’ve recently earned a Ph.D. in any scientific field and want to pursue independent, transdisciplinary research, consider applying. Deadline: October 1, 2025 Apply here: santafe.edu/sfifellowship

Judaism: “What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. That is the whole Torah; the rest is commentary.” To claim condemning wrongdoing is “anti-Semitic” is to claim Judaism would remain mute at & allow for horrific violence against others. I cannot imagine a more anti-Semitic idea than that.

This WaPo reporting on how Israel is starving Palestinian children and babies to death is almost too painful to read. We are funding this.

This is one of the reasons I am so passionate about the Caleb Scholars program. We give students funds to return home to learn from elders as they go to school, and we find undergrads though professional/PhD programs bc I know how hard it was to return home during grad school. www.calebscholars.org

Building something new is possible. Never forget that.
