The 2026 study cited in Zach's article is a tour de force by my former tree-ring friends/colleagues at Oregon State. They produced 36 fire history chronologies across the OR Cascades to unequivocally document the fire history of that region. esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

I always say that it’s good to be in nature (surrounded by flowers and insects)… but to be in Nature (the scientific journal) is not bad either 😊

The push for open access (which turned out to be 'Gold'), first from the grassroots and then top down from governments, has created a situation where big publishers now feel they can (and do) charge outlandish APCs. That $ could more than pay for a graduate student stipend for an entire summer. 1/
