Excited to share this new preprint (and my first preprint!) on using matching methods in field ecology! We highlight the promise and considerations for implementing matching methods in a field setting and provide a case study about the effect of wildfire on forest recovery across California 🌲💫

Check out @olross.bsky.social's new preprint on matching methods for field ecology! In our efforts to randomize plot selection, we've overlooked a more fundamental issue: the treatments themselves—e.g., disturbances—are rarely randomized! PSM provides a solution 🧪🍁 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

For #BlackWomenEqualPayDay, @ayannapressley.bsky.social and I in @bostonglobe.com discussing why the attacks against workers begin and end with Black women. There is no world where workers are valued, and Black women workers are not. Either the economy serves us all, or it serves no one. #blacksky

The attack on workers begins and ends with Black women - The Boston Globe

Black Women’s Equal Pay Day is about more than wage gaps. Job losses and stalled pay for Black women are an early warning sign for every American worker.

New paper in Fire Ecology: what actually makes a wildfire "extreme"? Current definitions rely on rigid thresholds that don't hold up across ecosystems. We argue for judging fire behavior, ecological outcomes, and social impacts against historical baselines. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Roadmap for the future of extreme wildfire events - Fire Ecology

Background Extreme wildfire events (EWEs) represent a growing threat globally, posing substantial risks to ecosystems, human communities, and infrastructure. Despite increased recognition of their eco...

Dutch-Lebanese conservationist killed by Israel strike Mona Khalil died after being wounded when her home at Mansouri beach in southern Lebanon was hit For 25+ years she protected endangered loggerhead & green #seaturtles that nested on this narrow stretch of coast near Tyre:

Mona Khalil, who left safety in Europe to protect sea turtles in Lebanon, was killed by an Israeli airstrike

At night on Mansouri beach, the first evidence was often a track in the sand. The beach lies south of Tyre, near the border with Israel, where checkpoints, shelling, and evacuation orders have long sh...

ICYMI — New research led by CIRES Fellow Ellen Considine shows that air pollution in Indonesia got worse after China banned plastic waste imports in 2018. More plastic waste in Indonesia ➡️ more open dumping & burning ➡️ more fine particulate matter air pollution cires.colorado.edu/news/indones...

Indonesia’s air quality got worse after China banned plastic waste imports

New research links a global waste policy shift to increased air pollution from open burning at Indonesian dump sites

NEW: A lot of bad has happened to American science over the last year but nothing comes even close to what’s about to happen if we don’t speak out in opposition to the OMB rule changes and I hope @aaas-socsci.bsky.social @apsphysics.bsky.social and others will launch public campaigns about this. 🧪🔭⚛️

It's the End of American Science As We Know It

We have 45 days to express our opposition to catastrophic changes.

Asia Kaiser has been on an incredible streak lately! This new @natecoevo.nature.com paper w @lauradee.bsky.social is the latest. Cool work showing how ecologists can use synthetic control methods to strengthen inference — highlighted using iNat bee data in cities 🐝🌎🧪🌱🌆 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

In this moment, Tennessee Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social looks to Fannie Lou Hamer, Medgar Evers, MLK Jr — "What they carried in their heart was that this country could be different…I am an inheritor of that legacy. And I have a responsibility to…fight for the kids whose names I will never know."

BREAKING—Tennessee Republicans have voted to draw new maps that will *eliminate* the state's only Black-majority district & the only seat held by a Democrat. @justinjpearson.bsky.social: "As long as we never quit, they cannot win. We may lose some battles along the way, but this war is a long one."

I say it again and again: Because we don’t learn the real history of this country, we do not understand what this country is capable of. After 1870, 22 Black men served in Congress. By 1901, because of racist SCOTUS rulings, electoral coups and election cheating and violence, there were none.

When they make movies about this in the future they will tone down the cruelty of ICE and border patrol, like Spielberg did with Goeth in Schindler's List, because no one will believe they were actually this monstrous.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.” A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees. The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.
