So much choice amongst the Auckland mayor candidates. 🫠 One guy is offering artificial surf breaks.

Gun violence is repulsive, and Charlie Kirk thought it was a price worth paying for for second amendment rights. Now is exactly the right time to talk about gun violence and how pernicious and evil and utterly preventable it is..

Arabella Douglas, Minjungbal Bundjalung woman, legal scholar & climate justice advocate: “Every minute we spend defending ourselves against fascist intimidation is a minute stolen from the urgent work of protecting our rivers, our oceans, our forests & the health of our people."

The Electoral Amendment Bill is undemocratic. @mountaintui.bsky.social concisely explains why. Get your submissions in before 1 pm tomorrow.

“The Electoral Amendment Bill will make it HARDER for NZers to vote. Instead of restricting the right to vote, the Govt should be making it easier e.g. by following recommendations made in the 2023 Independent Electoral Review.” 👇Top tips for feedback – get in before 1pm, Thur 11 Sept (tomorrow!)

I suggest watching the recording of @cillaw.bsky.social's Inaugural Professorial Lecture if you weren't there. What has stayed with me is the way it was a demonstration of the way things (IPLs) could be done differently. And, for me, having potential is inherently hopeful youtu.be/tPcKj141l2E?...

Our global meta-analysis is finally out - we explore the most important influencer on C4 photosynthetic capacity using ~1700 C4 Aci curves! Data are freely available for the community.

Bottom line: most tree species around the world will not be able to migrate fast enough to persist in their current locations under a rapidly changing climate. 🌎

Confused writing is usually a symptom of confused thinking. As we struggle to clarify writing, we clarify our thoughts. AI writing aids rob us of that struggle, leaving clean-looking text and thoughts still confused for lack of inspection. Writing is not just a product; it is a diagnostic tool.

Looking forward to seeing my freind and collaborator Prof Kasey Barton speak in this online webinar series in Island Biology. Registrations are still open.

Context: this knocks back Marsden funding levels next year a whole two decades to (inflation adjusted) the same level funding as the 2005 Budget.

Another devastating and horribly short-sighted cut for research funding in Aotearoa.

Looking forward to meeting many of these folks in December. I'm a Lead Author in WGII for the regional chapter for Aotearoa and Australia.

Can tropical rainforest trees keep their cool? Now out in @globalchangebio.bsky.social we explored whether intraspecific variation in leaf energy balance was a result of adaptation to local climate. doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

This is absolutely appalling, heart-breaking news, for the whānau involved, for people for whom Benjamin was a representative, and for Aotearoa, which is less democratic now than it was before vitriol and hate-speech from those in power became the norm.
