Yo #teamfish, major dream job alert!

Come work with us! My lab is looking for PhD student(s) to study elevational range shifts among dragonflies in Colorado. Reviewing applications now - apply by Nov 1 at the latest

You could spend your summers here!

Jane and her work had a special way of bringing you in.

She undoubtedly inspired entire generations of conservation biologists, behavioral ecologists, and optimists — Myself included.

She will be missed. 🧪🌍

🚨Great job with great people in Alaska 🐺🦌🧪

Ponderosa pine smells like butterscotch.

Go ahead, sniff one the next time you're in the western US. Some say "vanilla", some say "oh no, my nose is covered in sap."

Let's talk about birds, butterscotch, forest fires, blue wood, & boring beetles.

But mostly this thread is about terpenes.

When the corrals start burning, we’ll really be in trouble

California firefighters are mounting extraordinary efforts to shield some of the planet’s most venerable trees from the Garnet Fire, which has burned over 55,000 acres in the Sierra National Forest.

We do science at places like Teakettle in the hopes of informing better decisions. But moments like these make it feel like our science is just informing future historians of our decline.

The Garnet Fire has burned through a place I have worked since 2002. A place I hold dear. We knew this wasn't a matter of if, but when. Unfortunately the leadership on the Sierra National Forest didn't have the same urgency that we did. My eulogy for Teakettle.

Have you ever heard of predatory journals?

Our new study—published this week in Journalism Practice—suggests many science journalists haven't.

When they were familiar with predatory journals, most said they weren't worried, confident they'd "be able to spot one if they saw one."

New paper alert (thread)!

"Whitebark pine [WBP] in the United States projected to experience an 80% reduction in climatically suitable area by the mid-21st century"

In this paper, we modeled WBP climatic suitability under reference period (1961-1990) and mid-21st century climate

It crept up on some of us much faster/earlier

Are you an early-career biologist or ecologist who would benefit from an invited seminar? Would you like to come to UMaine next fall or spring to give a talk? Leave a brief comment with some info about what you do. I'm co-hosting our seminar series again, and am filling out our rosters.
