All signs point to Trump’s second term creating a hotter and less affordable future for Americans.

Without new offshore turbines going up, millions of households across the Northeast will soon pay more money for dirtier and less reliable electricity.

The demolition of the offshore wind sector in 2025 will reverberate for decades, resulting in lost jobs, higher utility bills, and less reliable power…

I'm trying to organise conferences and workshops that I want to go to in 2026. Is there a decent list out there for ecology and conservation people anywhere? Everything I've come across by Googling seems to be full of predatory conferences.

A heads-up for anyone interested in research quality, repeatability & transparency: I'm leading a 2-hour session at 10 am UK-time tomorrow, in conjunction with others.
Hopefully this can form the basis of a guidelines paper, so we're hoping you can join online to guide us in the right direction. 🌐🌎

Very true! Ah that’s interesting I didn’t know that about psych.

Yes I know that they aren’t - that’s something well studied in other fields so that’s why I was surprised to see this in pnas. What’s the problem with changing the estimand if heterogeneity is part of the question and important?

Wait - I pinned this, but is this not already known? Well known in other fields… #causalsky

Upstream data need to prove soil carbon as a climate solution - Nature Climate Change
Causal approaches employed at the scale of commercial agriculture are required to build high-quality evidence that climate-smart agricultural interventions result in real emissions reductions and removals. Such project-scale empirical data are additionally required to demonstrate and advance the viability of process-based models and digital measurement, reporting and verification as tools to scale soil carbon accounting.
