Recently, all the AAAS Science & Tech Policy Fellows at EPA were terminated from our positions with little notice and for no clear reason. This effectively ended a partnership that had been going since 1980 and which had brought hundreds of scientists to the EPA as fellows, many of whom stayed. 1/7

Haven’t had a chance to pull together a thread on the paper, but so cool to see this highlight on some of my postdoc work! Urban trees can be a great tool for resiliency, but to be effective we also need to think about how the varied urban landscape leads to differences in how trees provide benefits

Conceptual hydrology models in the style of the Tube map?
Going through some old files from a few years ago and found this idea I was toying with. Not sure it is entirely accurate.

The PhD paper that was admittedly my toughest one is finally out! We did a tree drydown and recovery experiment where we collected a ton of data. We found some interesting results, and also used it to think about how we study and model drought response more broadly 🧵👇 doi.org/10.1111/pce....
Mind the Data Gap: Using a Multi‐Measurement Synthesis for Identifying the Challenges and Opportunities in Studying Plant Drought Response and Recovery
The high-dimensional nature of plant response and recovery to water-limiting conditions creates scientific challenges. We examine how datasets that collect hydrological, physiological and meteorologi....

"It is easy for researchers to gripe that politicians don’t understand science. A better response is to learn about politics and policy, and to get involved."
Some great points in this piece that really resonate with my experience in the policy world so far!

Advising governments about science is essential but difficult. So train people to do it
A great scientist doesn’t necessarily make an effective science adviser — but schooling and practice can help to bridge the gap.

One reason I joined the AAAS S&T Policy Fellowship was to learn how Congress works so I could return to academia better equipped to communicate my research to policymakers. The last two months have reinforced my belief that we must rethink the role of academics during this critical time (a 🧵)

Great insight in this thread from another AAAS Fellow over in Congress on the role of science and how to engage with offices!
Democrats in the 119th Congress will have little power to advance new climate and energy legislation. However, they will still plan for future action and benefit from hearing from Scientists. Here is a thread with some thoughts for those interested in the policy impact of your research.

It's the last day to submit your abstract to the #WaterSciCon sessions I'm organizing- one on urban hydrology (CVPPP-09) and one on ecohydrology (CVPPP-04) - and both will also have corresponding workshops. We're hoping to make it a valuable opportunity to share & learn!
