May everyone try to channel a fraction of the empathy, care, and kindness that Jane showed to all living beings.

The world was a better place with her in it 💚

Thank you Jane Goodall for all your tireless work to protect our natural world.

You will be greatly missed, though your legacy will live on along the road you paved for women in science and youth in conservation, environmental and humanitarian work. 💚

“Scientists from Cornell and SUNY ESF have teamed up to try to figure out what causes the so called 'Seneca Drums'. Part of the mystery isn't just the noise, it is also that the bottom of southern Seneca Lake are covered with pock marks, some estimated to be as wide as four football fields.”

We were interviewed this week by WENY— check out the article about our research! www.weny.com/story/531154...

We also have towers in the Adirondacks and Hudson, comparing forest carbon fluxes to freshwater tidal marsh fluxes!

Quick weekend trip to the #Adirondacks. Biking to and swimming here makes it finally start to feel like summer is coming ☀️

Today on Edge Effects, Companion Species continues as Maxime Fecteau explores his experience with Lyme disease & how an undesired relationship with ticks still has profound impact on his way of seeing ecological degradation, multispecies kinship, and the Anthropocene. 🕷️ edgeeffects.net/tick-kinship/

My Strange Kinship with a Tick - Edge Effects

Maxime Fecteau uses a bite to explore tick kinship and living entangled with other species in a time of accelerated ecological degradation.
