There’s a lot of terminology out there when discussing water quality. This new UF/IFAS publication explains “concentrations” and “loads,” what they are, and why we should care: edis.ifas.ufl.edu/publication/...

Question for academics? What do you do if a paper cites you in a completely inaccurate way? I don't always check papers that cite our work but a google scholar alert came across my email this morning and the topic of the paper citing our work was VERY different than the paper they cited...

Check out our new paper, led by @abagaelpruitt.bsky.social, quantifying whole stream/river denitrification rates in an ag river and its tributary across seasons. Abagael did a great job leading this work and its a really great application of the open-channel N2 method! dx.doi.org/10.1029/2025...

Return flight: Brisbane -> Orlando with an 18 month old and a 5 year old, ending with our luggage being stuck in the conveyor belt for 3h and the rental car company (that we use for the final 2h drive home) not having a vehicle large enough for all of our bags despite our reservation…

UF just posted a call for applicants to our Ewel Postdoctoral Fellowship: postdoc.aa.ufl.edu/current-post.... The fellowship focuses on tropical/sub-tropical ecology and env. science. Great opportunity to join our ecological community at UF. I’d love to chat with folks that may be interested.

They’re ok ☺️

We've got 35 sets of these posters left. This project came from my evergreen frustration with our important messages getting trapped on social media algorithms. Good stuff for posting on your local community bulletin board, classroom, office door, etc! squidfacts.bigcartel.com/product/scie...

Worlds colliding. @jasonkirk.fyi, @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social and @themountaingoats.bsky.social oh my

I have a regular order here now. Congrats Dr. Harris!!!! Way to go Casey!

I’m sure this will come across as “old man yells at clouds” but a lot of really smart people that I greatly admire are relying on AI for entirely too much. It can be a great tool, but I feel like we are missing out on a lot of innovative ideas in the pursuit of efficiency and productivity.

This would be a great opportunity for a post grad or someone who finished their MS and wants to stick around in research. A lot of opportunities to develop independent research while also helping out others in the lab. Gainesville’s a great college town to live in, too!

Do you like playing in the mud or floating a river? Do you want to help us learn about how human actions affect water quality? Then you should join the UF Urban Ecosystem Ecology Lab! We are looking for a full time biological scientist to join our team. explore.jobs.ufl.edu/en-us/job/53.... #jobs

This sounds like a bit but I’m being serious: kids using chat gpt for their homework are denying themselves the invaluable experience of learning how to bullshit their way through a problem. You drink some caffeine the night before and figure it the fuck out. That’s a skill. You need it in life.

Ummm…wut?

Love that this is how I found out about who’s leading my university. Truly

I’m shocked!

Dad of two young girls here and I was already a feminist but still shocked by how much the boys are coddled and how the girls are expected to accommodate their behavior even in grade school
