There is HUGE interested in Biodiversity Credits right now (my LinkedIn feed is buzzing). BCs require a generalizable, standardized measure of biodiversity—essentially a ‘unit of nature’. We present a framework for understanding how methodologies do this. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

My least favorite type of comment about a scientific article is the celebratory policy failure type of comment. Intentional or not, this reads like a “gotcha” moment. Instead, we should all be deeply concerned that such a critical carbon-reducing scheme is not working and find ways to fix it.

When authorities find wildlife that are being illegally trafficked, at ports or airports, the animals are often in terrible shape. Sick, starved, distressed. A pilot project in Southern California aims to get seized wildlife immediate care.

Unexpectedly, one of my favorite parts of the post-PhD job search has been reconnecting with old colleagues and long lost friends. It’s really fun seeing where everyone has landed! ✨

Seafood is claimed to have among the highest food waste rates. A new paper led by @davelove.bsky.social finds US waste 23%, half of earlier estimates Tackling food waste is critical, but we need better data on when, where & why food is wasted to identify solutions www.nature.com/articles/s43...

It depends. If this is in reference to global agreements (and global issues), I feel strongly that there is no real substitute for face time. It's unfortunate but true.
