Our new research shows that forest recovery from tree mortality has slowed in recent decades. This reduction is primarily associated with rising temperatures and increased water scarcity. Recovery of forest canopy water content lags behind that of vegetation greenness www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Anyone have funding ideas for getting a Canadian graduate student to an American university? The NSERC CGS D grant isn't a possibility, and I'm already planning to submit an NSF for potential graduate funds.

My Obituary of Elisabeth Vrba—out today in Nature in read-only format: rdcu.be/ediyO

Defend the liberty of a stranger as you would defend your own, or that of a loved one, because that is what's actually on the table—whether we are a society that will sit still as our neighbors are snatched in the night, and disappeared into darkness, or a society that will fight for each other.

Did you see "DEI" written into the federal grant you're reviewing, no you did not it absolutely was not there I have no idea what you're talking about.

Once again I am suggesting that you break some rules for practice. Get comfortable with breaking rules. When the rules are hurting other people, the right thing to do is break them. We need people who follow their moral code over the rules of their society, university, employer, and government.

I worry that the focus on NOAA's weather predicting value is ignoring the millions of other ways NOAA researchers enrich communities and local economies. There are no oysters without NOAA. There are no blue crabs without NOAA. NOAA trains teachers. NOAA is the lifeblood of coastal communities.

Please let the GEO/EAR community know: Program Directors and Mission Support who’ve been at NSF under two years were just terminated via Zoom. Even those of us whose offer letter stated one probationary year and whose government data states “permanent”.

Two senior male faculty members tell me I’m ’ungrateful’ for department support, and when I ask when I said that, they say ‘it comes off that way’. So what do we think that’s code for? I’m too loud and outspoken for a young woman faculty member?
