New paper out "Making conservation more inclusive is a realization of our land ethic" - such a pleasure to work on this with such a great team! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Plenary speakers shape careers & culture in science. Our new study of ecology conferences (2000–2023) shows women’s representation is rising—but still trails by career stage & disciplines. Read more: doi.org/10.1093/bios... #WomenInSTEM #SciComm

🌟 Today, I got TENURE! There aren’t many first-generation, non-traditional, Chicana scientists I’ve met on this path. That's why this moment is significant to me. Tenure isn’t just a milestone—it’s a testament to the power of showing up authentically in spaces not built for us. #WomenInSTEM

More evidence that recent cuts to health, science and climate don't reflect what voters want: New @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social research finds 75% of registered US voters want federal agencies to maintain or increase efforts to protect people from the health harms of global warming. Read more:

Briefly putting on my hat as @asn-amnat.bsky.social President: The ASN Council has just distributed an updated message to the American Society of Naturalists members with information about actions that can be undertaken to advocate for science, and scientists, within the US:

For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

Many don't know that USFWS runs the world's only wildlife forensics lab. Yes, that's right, the only one in THE WORLD. It's also the official wildlife crime lab for CITES and Interpol. It's an amazing place staffed by amazing and conscientious scientists and one of our underappreciated crown jewels.
