The end of an era... we pulled everything from king's creek in Konza prairie, leaving no trace that AIMS ever happened. It took 8 people an entire day to clear the watershed. 1,601 days of data. 14 wells. 50 stics. And a scan and exo at the outlet. So long to this beautiful site, hello data!

One benefit of attending a conference at Konza Prairie: making a quick pit stop at our field site to do sensor maintenance! Had so much fun at Great Plains Limno and still feeling inspired by all the cool science.

Very grateful to have been able to do a 10k at my field site! I set a goal to do this race before leaving Kansas and I'm so proud of myself for completing it. Konza is one of my favorite places, and I've faced so many challenges here. It felt amazing to overcome one last challenge.

Hey folks! I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel for my dissertation. I'm not defending this semester, but I'm getting close. What are some things that you found helpful or wish you would have done earlier on in preparing for your defense? For context, I'll be TAing until I'm done!

I'm going through my first peer review process after submitting my first paper. While the decision was "reject and resubmit," I was so pleasantly surprised by how kind, constructive, helpful, and specific the reviews were. Feeling a lot of gratitude and excitement to get this done.

Thanks to state legislation, state universities are compelling their employees to suppress their identities. Rather than prioritizing dignity, autonomy, and respect, Kansas leaders have demanded employees comply by erasing a piece of themselves. What message does this send to students?
KU staff, employees must remove gender pronouns from e-mail signatures by July 31
University of Kansas officials notified staff, employees and student employees Tuesday of a slew of changes meant to align with a recently adopted change passed by the Kansas Board of Regents.

What do you all do on sick days? Anyone else guilt themselves into being "productive?" Or any tips on how to actually be restful? I've been going back and forth between doom scrolling and trying to make a dent in my "to read" list of papers and neither feels great.

The National Science Foundation continues to be threatened with major cuts.
The link below lists the Congresspeople who are on the frontlines of deciding these cuts this week and would be well worth a quick call today if they’re in your state to advocate for not cutting NSF’s budget.

And there's a 6% cut to NOAA's budget (we're still waiting to know that detail in the Senate version).
House appropriations meets tomorrow and Thursday.
So if you want to share your thoughts on the 23% cut to NSF, here's who to call: appropriations.house.gov/about/member...

Wrapping up your PhD? I’m planning to hire a postdoc in the next few months (start date flexible). Will start formally advertising soon, but you heard it here first!! Possible research topics include - critical zone hydrology, agricultural water quality, SW-GW interactions. Reach out if interested!

🚨 A new rule would let career scientists like NSF/NIH program officers be replaced by political appointees
Already 14,000+ public comments, deadline is Friday
📣 Comments can be short. Courts consider them—and scientists with NSF/NIH experience are especially impactful

The main advantage of a custom feed is that it gathers all posts on a given topic--in this case, rivers--in one place, instead of having them scattered along your timeline. It can work without hashtags.
Thanks to custom feeds it's easier to stay up to date on a topic & join conversations!

🌊 River people: a #rivers feed is up and running! bsky.app/profile/did:...
It draws on a "River people" list that combines +++starting packs on rivers but filters only posts with "rivers" or "#rivers" in the text.
In other words: posts from many river communities all in one place! Thx for sharing
