This is good advice. I also consider representation in my reviewer recommendations! Do my recs capture the vast diversity and breadth of experts in my field? We need to intentionally and expressly nominate more women, poc, scientists outside the west, etc.!
Try to think more broadly. Who have you seen at conferences working in the same general area? Who looked at your poster and asked lots of questions? ECRs are much more likely to agree to review and be enthusiastic about the topic. Don't worry if they're at the same career stage as you! 6/12

This science has fascinated me for years. It’s a common phenomenon that children observe, but didn’t have clear answers until recently.
This is science beautiful: satisfying the curiosity of children with illuminating peer reviewed research!

Why do insects fly around artificial lights? They don't actually want to fly towards them, they just can't really get away from them.
Insects naturally tilt their dorsum towards a light source, and as a result end up flying around it in circles, trapped.

Waters out there are still off the charts. June and November this year especially were extraordinary.
It's worth pointing out that the water temperature in the "Main Development Region" (MDR) in the tropical Atlantic is record-warm, and warmer than it would be at its climatological peak in late September. It's now late November.

John Morales: Human-caused ocean warming fueled recent hurricanes, study says
Ocean temperatures made higher by human-caused climate change are fueling more intense hurricanes in the Atlantic.

2024 will almost certainly set another new record for the highest global annual average temperature since instrumental measurements began.
That trend is brutal.

Thanks for the wonderful conversation, Jeff!
In today's Climate Classroom we discuss the new @ClimateCentral study showing all 2024 Atlantic Hurricanes were amplified by ocean warming - Avg spike 20 mph! Just a 10% increase in wind speed = 2X the damage!
We interview lead author Daniel Gilford... www.wfla.com/weather/clim...

All 2024 Atlantic hurricanes amplified by climate change, study finds
As water temperatures continue to rise due to human-caused climate change, hurricanes are getting stronger. That’s the conclusion of two new reports released this week by Climate Central.

New: Climate Central study shows climate change increased the intensity for most Atlantic hurricanes from 2019 to 2023 and for every storm in 2024.
30 of 38 hurricanes in the study reached intensities roughly one category higher compared to their expected strength in a world without climate change.
