Walking 9+ miles of suppression lines across the Carrizo Plain National Monument resulted in finding this trophy Tule Elk deadhead. Found “in the black” fire footprint. Don’t know how many years is was there, but now fully visible with all the grass, forbs, and shrubs gone. 🌎🌿🍁💀🔥

Out on the Madre fire helping identify suppression repair needs. Grateful for the opportunity to work in this amazing area. 🌎🍁🌿🌲🔥🚒🧯

Pushing “viewpoint diversity,” they’re giving fringe, conspiracy theorist voices & fossil fuel shills a seat at the same table as actual experts. We need policies that uphold evidence-based science—not ones that legitimize conspiracy-driven, anti-science climate denial. zurl.co/4KXxn

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent. Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

We won.

When political power silences science, we all lose. From climate to health, anti‑science agendas erode progress. Scientists, institutions, and leaders must speak up - or risk letting ideology undermine academic freedom and evidence-based discovery. zurl.co/OrCHk #StandUpForScience

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

I waitress while I run for Congress. I know what it’s like to stretch a paycheck, juggle bills, and still show up for your community. Washington needs more people who live like us — not just talk about us. Derrick Van Orden talks the talk. I'll walk the walk.

Are you going to #ESA2025 and do you want free, continental-scale biodiversity data? Tools to access, quickly explore, and work with NEON and LTER datasets in your R environment? Check out our short course: events.rdmobile.com/Sessions/Det... @uslter.bsky.social @cyverse.bsky.social

The main reason I use social media is to talk with other scientists about science. That used to happen on Twitter, but then the platform's decisions to foster misinformation, hate speech, and spam made it basically impossible! Why would I use a platform where I can't do the ONE thing I want to do?

A little medicine w/ my littles. Took an extended weekend camping. Unplugged and disconnected from the current madness was the perfect Rx for the soul. We went fishing, swimming and hiking. Highlights inc. a black bear cub 🐻 , bald eagle 🦅 , Sierra garter snake 🐍, & prehistoric BRM. 🌿🌲♥️🦋🐿️

What I would give for a special Elon v. tRump episode right now

Congress is back in session—and your senators need to hear from you. Tell them to vote NO on the Trump budget that would sell out America to give billionaires a tax break they don't even need.

Now in the Forest management and restoration session Lide Albaniz from is talking about the impacts of post windthrow harvesting on beech forests in Northern Spain, showing that retention forestry results in better regeneration than salvage logging #SIBECOLAEET2025

Founded by the renowned photographer, Instituto Terra transformed Brazil’s degraded lands into thriving forests; 7 million trees were planted, 2,068 springs restored, and more than 88,000 people educated in sustainable conservation.

I was away for a few weeks helping out Superior NF on the Brimson Complex Fire in MN. I love these opportunities to help these communities, meet new people, & learn about different ecosystems & their fire regimes. I had a blast, but it is nice to be home again. 🌎🌿🍁🌲🌳🔥🚜

🚨 POST DOC 🚨 🌎🧪🌊🦠🧫📈🎓🥼🔬

Tip for PhD applicants reaching out to prospective advisors: Don’t use an LLM to write these emails. It’s not a great first impression to express your admiration for a recent paper the faculty member published if that paper does not exist.
