I'm looking to switch out the Winogradsky column lab I've been doing in my Wetlands course for something new (I never get visible diffs among treatments and I don't think students are getting much from it).
What are your favorite labs for an upper level Wetlands course? Bonus if biogeochemistryish!

👀 DDHQ projects Democrats flip both PSC seats in Georgia, the first state-level Democrats in ~two decades.
Now for the final margins and what the results may/may not foretell.

Another 👀 election - Early voting data points to a possibility that Democrats could flip Public Service Commission seats in Georgia.
Two statewide races in an otherwise local/municipal cycle, with Fulton+DeKalb accounting for ~26% of EV + Black voter share ~34%, *notably* up from 20/21/24.

Many USGS gages across the country have stopped updating. Anyone know what’s going on? This shutdown related? They seemed to all stop 16 hours ago, at least in Georgia.

The most useful and useful impactful classes I took during my PhD were at ESF. It’s an amazing school always working on a shoestring budget. Cutting more will just decimate it and the amazing work it does.

Discussions of the destruction of the CDC, HHS, etc. by RFK Jr that do not lay a hefty part of the blame on Senator Cassidy feel woefully incomplete. He could have stayed true to his principles as a medical professional and blocked RFK's confirmation. He did not and he should not be given a pass.
