Between the heat, 18 flyovers, & fireworks you will find me & Derby (our dog) celebrating the 4th by hiding in our basement

🚨 Opportunity for EC Researchers! 🚨

I've been having fun talking about algae with my non-science friends in DC 🤓. Highly recommend Maggie Xenopoulos's article for people interested in learning more about algae ecology. theconversation.com/what-science...

Really important! In our early 20s, we went a year without working AC and should have pushed back against our landlord more.

Congrats @aquaticallison.bsky.social on the new paper! www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1...

Very cool data visualization of rank-choice voting in action during the #DC primary! www.rcvis.com/vo/at-large/...

Ecology is not yet ready for AI—and why that matters www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... h/t @stevenjsmith.bsky.social

HUGE CONGRATS TO @baby-cones.bsky.social! She defended her thesis today, presenting 6 years of work on disturbance ecology & ecological forecasting

✨Featured Scientist Spotlight✨ Meet Snehanjana Chatterjee (@snehanjanac.bsky.social), a PhD candidate at Texas Tech University studying the fascinating and complex relationships between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). 🌱🍄

This gave me a few things to think about arcplane.ai/journal/soft...

Excited to feature early career researcher Emma Lathrop @elathrop.bsky.social in our upcoming Spring Seminar series! Emma is a postdoc at Northern Arizona University studying how permafrost thaw alters soil carbon cycling using field methods, soil carbon characterization, and radiocarbon techniques.

Just published in JOSS: 'cowfootR: An R Package for Dairy Farm Carbon Footprint Assessment' joss.theoj.org/papers/10.21... Congrats to the authors! Thanks to the reviewers!

small update: I’m now serving as a Topic Editor at JOSS. Excited to support open-source research software—and to learn from the many thoughtful people building tools for science. Recent JOSS publications: joss.theoj.org/papers/publi... Volunteer to review for JOSS: reviewers.joss.theoj.org/join

One of our main goals at The 51st is to make D.C. an easier place to live. One way to do that is by explaining stuff that is otherwise confusing, mystifying, or intentionally opaque! What do you want to know more about? What can we help you understand? Let us know!

This whole ‘there are cherry blossoms’ in neighborhoods and not just the tidal basin always cracks me up. YES! The awesome Casey Trees even has a map!

Amazing opportunity for Early-career researchers!

We’re watching Hocus Pocus and at one point the kids thwart the witches because daylight savings time ends and it gets light earlier than the witches expected. I said, “that’s ridiculous, daylight savings never happens on Halloween!” Guess what, in 1993—the year the movie came out—it did. Wild!

sigh, I miss MN fall twin-cities.umn.edu/news-events/...

Participating in my first hackathon at @britishecologicalsociety.org, looking at published manuscript data reproducibility/availability already has me reflecting on my own past publications and archival practices 🤔

Excited to celebrate federally funded science at the Golden Goose awards! #GGA25

Meet Xian Wang our AGU B-section early career scientist of the week! A postdoc at Indiana University whose research uncovers a new climate benefit of no-till farming: its ability to increase surface albedo, reflecting more sunlight and reducing absorbed solar energy.

Cool puzzle event at MLK @dcpubliclibrary.bsky.social!

Hardbacks are books. Paperbacks are books. eBooks are books. Audio books are books. The delivery mechanism doesn't matter. What matters is the enjoyment of story.

Our #ESA2025 session started with a great talk by Lisa Haber! Followed by Pat Megonigal, Chris Smith-Martin, @kristenobacter.bsky.social Anthony Walker, ‪& @tanawood.bsky.social. Thanks to the speakers for sharing their science and to everyone who attended!
