Getting excited for #CSEE2025!

On Wed morning I’m organizing (& talking in) a symposium - along with Zach Miller and Maxime Clenet - that will bridge theoretical and empirical approaches to understanding spatial and temporal dynamics.

Then @sweeet-ecoevo.bsky.social symposium in the afternoon! 🙌

I’m very excited to share a paper from an incredible team of evolutionary biologists, community ecologists, paleoecologists, social scientists, and biogeochemists. “Ecological acclimation” unites processes that take minutes to centuries: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Ecological acclimation: A framework to integrate fast and slow responses to climate change

1/35 New paper out! @jamesTstroud and I dive into why long-term studies are crucial for understanding evolution. They reveal processes impossible to detect in short timescales and capture rare events that transform our understanding of evolutionary dynamics.

einstein sent this to curie in 1911 when she was being harassed by tabloids. it contains everything you’d want in such a letter:

(1) your haters are trash
(2) you’re a baller, a true queen
(3) i have determined the statistical law of motion of the diatomic molecule in planck’s radiation field 🧪⚛️
Prague, 23 November 1911
Highly esteemed Mrs. Curie,
Do not laugh at me for writing you without having anything sensible to say.
But I am so enraged by the base manner in which the public is presently daring to concern itself with you!? that I absolutely must give vent to this feeling. However, I am convinced that you consistently despise this rabble, whether it obsequiously lavishes respect on you or whether it attempts to satiate its lust for sensationalism!
I am impelled to tell you how much I have come to admire your intellect, your drive, and your honesty, and that I consider myself lucky to have made your personal acquaintance in Brussels. Anyone who does not number among these reptiles is certainly happy, now as before, that we have such personages among us as you, and Langevin(3) too, real people with whom one feels privileged to be in contact. If the rabble continues to occupy itself with you, then simply don't read that hogwash, but rather leave it to the reptile for whom i

For International Women's Day, let's pay homage to the great plant anatomist Katherine Esau. In her long career, she transformed our understanding of plant structure through her research and her very important books. She is my academic grandmother, advisor of my advisor.

This is an incredible tool -- bringing to life how butterfly abundances are plummeting everywhere in cities across the contiguous US. Try it out!

🦋 In 20 years, the contiguous U.S. lost 22 percent of its butterflies, according to a groundbreaking new study published today.

We got the data, and I made a tool that lets you find out what's happening with butterfly species in your town.
