Recently, all the AAAS Science & Tech Policy Fellows at EPA were terminated from our positions with little notice and for no clear reason. This effectively ended a partnership that had been going since 1980 and which had brought hundreds of scientists to the EPA as fellows, many of whom stayed. 1/7

@msp-lter.bsky.social, UMN St. Anthony Falls Lab (SAFL), and UMN College of Science & Engineering (CSE) researchers @jvwilkening.bsky.social and Xue Feng's new paper impresses the importance of keeping our urban #treecanopy healthy to promote urban #resilience and climate #adaptation

Haven’t had a chance to pull together a thread on the paper, but so cool to see this highlight on some of my postdoc work! Urban trees can be a great tool for resiliency, but to be effective we also need to think about how the varied urban landscape leads to differences in how trees provide benefits

Conceptual hydrology models in the style of the Tube map? Going through some old files from a few years ago and found this idea I was toying with. Not sure it is entirely accurate.

The PhD paper that was admittedly my toughest one is finally out! We did a tree drydown and recovery experiment where we collected a ton of data. We found some interesting results, and also used it to think about how we study and model drought response more broadly 🧵👇 doi.org/10.1111/pce....

hello world! 👋

If you happen to be one of the approximately 12 people left at #AGU24 this afternoon, come hear me talk about urban trees and machine learning (H53W-03) from 2:34-2:46!

The AGU Ecohydrology Technical Committee is finally over here: @aguecohydro.bsky.social ! Give them a follow for plenty of ecohydro goodness!

Nobody: AGU: You want to play pickleball during the conference, right? #AGU24

#AGU24 is even more fun when it's a family affair - check out what my mom has been working on and will be showing off this week!

PSA for folks heading to DC for #AGU24 - You can set up a transit card on your phone (works for metro and buses) and skip the line for the machines at the airport! www.wmata.com/fares/mobile...

Have you started making your #AGU24 schedule yet? Be sure to add our ecohydrology events! We've got lunch meetups, two sessions, and a happy hour - come hang out with us! linktr.ee/agu_ecohydro

"It is easy for researchers to gripe that politicians don’t understand science. A better response is to learn about politics and policy, and to get involved." Some great points in this piece that really resonate with my experience in the policy world so far! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

So much #Ecohydro fun at #AGU24 next week! - Ecohydro social meetup MONDAY at 6PM at the Lobby BAR of the Marriott Marquis, ALL WELCOME! 🥳 - Lunch meetups Tuesday-Friday 🥣, sign up here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... - Two sponsored sessions! 🤓 ALL the INFO 👉 linktr.ee/agu_ecohydro

📣 Attention ecohydrologists attending #AGU24 - Come join us at the technical committee sponsored events throughout the week! We have casual lunch meetups, two(!) sponsored sessions, and our happy hour on Monday evening. All are welcome, and early career folks are particularly encouraged!

One reason I joined the AAAS S&T Policy Fellowship was to learn how Congress works so I could return to academia better equipped to communicate my research to policymakers. The last two months have reinforced my belief that we must rethink the role of academics during this critical time (a 🧵)

Great insight in this thread from another AAAS Fellow over in Congress on the role of science and how to engage with offices!

Catch me on @scifri.bsky.social in 15 minutes chatting about the difficulties faced by Asheville in restoring their drinking water post-Helene!

Things seem to be picking up around here, so figured it's about time for a starter pack of ecohydrologists! 💧🍃 Please share and lmk below if you want to be added (I know there are lots of folks I missed so help me build out our ecohydro fam!) go.bsky.app/SPotVGi

Come join the Ecohydrology Technical Committee events at #WaterSciCon next week! We have a sponsored-session on Wednesday, a workshop on Thursday, and a social event on Wednesday evening. Full details: linktr.ee/agu_ecohydro

New review paper w/ @drsallyet.bsky.social, Xue Feng, and Todd Dawson is out in PCE! We look at the last 50 years to see how ecohydrology & ecophysiology developed as separate fields, the resulting struggles, & how we can work together to solve new challenges doi.org/10.1111/pce....

It's the last day to submit your abstract to the #WaterSciCon sessions I'm organizing- one on urban hydrology (CVPPP-09) and one on ecohydrology (CVPPP-04) - and both will also have corresponding workshops. We're hoping to make it a valuable opportunity to share & learn!

So it turns out the spotify algorithm is pretty good at figuring out if you are a postdoc

Overheard in the #AGU23 poster hall: “the ecohydrologists have a thing tonight” Don’t miss out! Come hang out with us from 7-9 at Harmonic Brewing Thrive City!

Come chat about urban trees with me at my poster this afternoon (H23V-1859), or just swing by to say hi and grab an ecohydro ribbon! I’ll be there from 3-6 pm #AGU23

Ecohydrologists of #AGU23 unite! Come find me or another technical committee member to get your badge ribbon

Just starting to figure out your #AGU23 schedule? Same! Make sure to add our ecohydrology events to your list! We still have some spots left for lunches, have our happy hour on Wed evening, and have plenty of cool new ecohydrology work to learn about in our sessions Tues & Weds! See you there!

The AGU Ecohydrology committee has events coming up at AGU next week and we hope you can join us - especially early career and first time attendees! More details and sign-ups for lunch meet-ups at linktr.ee/agu_ecohydro Pls share and come hang out with your fellow ecohydrologists!

There's still a couple days left to apply to get some $ for AGU! The app is pretty simple, so get yours in today!

📣 The AGU Ecohydrology Tiny Grant app is open! Are you an early-career (less than 10 years since PhD) ecohydrologist attending the AGU Fall Meeting in December? Want to receive up to $375 towards registration and travel costs? APPLY HERE by November 3rd 2023: forms.gle/PxdbaSQTiCTZ...

Need ideas, esp from early career folks! What makes for an effective interactive workshop/conference session? What formats work or don't work? What do you hope to get out of it (knowledge, networking, etc)? What's been missing from past conference experiences?
