I attended a science conference in Europe last week and was asked if young researchers should consider working overseas in the United States I advised that they should not This video explains why youtu.be/yLvO070E_dI?...

About 15 years ago, a relative gave me $500 and said "this is so you can put a down payment on a house" That's what the conservation funding world feels like We appreciate the money It's a lot of money But it's 100x too small to achieve the impact you're asking

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo! I know how hard you worked for this.

I still find LinkedIn to be the most useful social media network for professionals Colleagues post papers, news stories, conference updates, professional milestones, and other helpful announcements I get a little of that on this app, but not enough

During the "Unintended Consequences" panel at #EEA2025 I discussed our paper led by @captbeth.bsky.social that found MPAs globally are: 1/4 unimplemented 1/3 poorly designed 2/3 remote (colonies) www.americanprogress.org/article/beyo...

It's 3 am, I am in Rotterdam, I have jetlag, and I just demolished a plate of kapsalon -- which for lack of a better description is a french fry and shawarma salad This is the detritus left on my plate I'm on stage for 2.5 hours at a conference tomorrow

I'm still not 100% sure what substack, discord, and kambucha are The first two are like LiveJournal? You drink kambucha?

The economy is so bad in the Northern Mariana Islands that the government is closing the schools on Mondays starting next week www.mvariety.com/news/local/l...

In my lifetime, no topic had more public discussion in the Marianas than the designation of the Mariana Trench No other issue generated as much public support -- but also public opposition These are just the letters There were also almost daily news reports www.taotaotasi.com/2008/09/whol...

Something like 90% of shark attack victims are Australian and Florida men yet people are so quick to blame the sharks Now that you have this information, do you still blame the sharks? This is a push poll www.scubadiving.com/will-banning...

All Americans deserve to have their stories told by our public lands and waters, even when that means grappling with difficult history. @altnps.bsky.social www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

If bodies are washing onto the north shore of Trinidad then these strikes did not take place in international waters -- they are occurring in Trinidad amd Tobago's waters Why aren't any reporters challenging this narrative?? www.nytimes.com/2025/10/23/w...

The Administration Is Erasing American History Told by Public Lands and Waters By targeting place names, signage on, and access to public lands and waters, the administration is erasing important chapters of American history. www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

A long memory is important when so much if the story told through public lands is being erased www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

Our public lands are the living archives of Indigenous resilience, immigrant labor, and environmental justice. Erasing the stories of American social movements makes a mockery of freedom and democracy. READ THE ISSUE BRIEF: www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

Amazing new piece by my colleagues @taotaotasi.bsky.social and Sam Zeno: The Trump administration is rewriting the stories told by America's public lands & waters in an attempt to undermine the country's history and redefine who America is for www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

From censoring museum exhibits to demolishing the East Wing of the White House, President Trump is erasing U.S. history—even sacred public lands and waters aren't safe from his purge. Learn more: www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

The Trump administration is rewriting the stories told by public lands & waters. This erasure is an attempt to undermine the history of America and, in turn, redefine who America is for. www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

By changing the names of public places, censoring historical exhibits, and reducing access to public areas, the Trump administration is erasing the multicultural and multiracial stories of the people who shaped this country. https://ampr.gs/48ILAhV

A balanced portrayal of American history helps to cultivate informed and engaged citizens, understand the present, and prevent future atrocities. It is a form of democratic self-defense. www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

Erasing the stories of diverse communities on public lands sends the message that the only contributions to our history worth celebrating are white, straight, and male. www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

There are leaked news reports that the Trump administration is planning to open the entire East and West coasts to offshore drilling We predicted this last year -- because it was laid out in black and white in Project 2025 www.americanprogress.org/article/proj...

I'm a big believer in citing my old paper in my new paper

If your conservation ideas are based in science, but others can show that your conservation ideas are based in racism and colonialism, does that mean your science is racist? Discuss.
