Very excited to share this work with S. Collins, Y. Guan, and A. Krist published in @Ecology_Letters ! We find that resource qauntity and quality (as stoich) differentially control stream invertebrate diversity across spatial scale.

The Upper Peninsula and Marquette is truly a special place with fantastic access to loads of streams and lakes (including the big one) along with an excellent research network. I am very excited to start my lab here!

To all the #FossilFools who say it's impossible to get to 100% ZEVs in Canada by 2035, that is PURE propaganda driven by the Oil & Gas cartel.
Norway - A COLD COUNTRY - is already there.
And cheap EVs are already available if we drop 100% tariffs. #EndFossilFuels

In Norway, nearly all new cars sold in 2024 were fully electric

Nine out of ten new cars sold in Norway last year were powered by battery only, registration data showed on Thursday, placing the country within reach of its target of only adding cars that are electric on the road by 2025.

3,000 people turned out today in Marquette! This is for a small city where the temp hovered around freezing with the wind whipping off Lake Superior. We put on our coats, hats, and snow pants and got out there.

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

Mor Naaman @informor.bsky.social · Apr 5

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

Full of people down 5th avenue, view from 39th Street.

According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150,000 trees have been planted and 45 hectares of parks created in the city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to and manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050.

Plant a lot more urban trees.
