I’ve never been nervous to fly before, but I’m seriously contemplating skipping out on going to a conference this year because I cannot drive there 😅😅

Somewhere in the U.S., there’s a scientist staring at their NSF/NIH grant application wondering why they bother. This post is for you. Science and society both need you. Hang in there and know there is a whole community supporting you.

Stop telling me to “make no mistake.” That’s not gonna happen. In fact I’ll be making more of ‘em now, just out of spite.

RP PLS! Iʻm hiring 3 postdocs at U Hawaiʻi to study yeast diversity and evolution, marine fungi, and the genomics of microbiomes in experimental foodwebs. All of these projects have existing datasets and LATITUDE to pursue individual interests and "blue sky" ideas www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/5d7u4...

Global biogeochemical cycles are interconnected. Alterations to the carbon cycle are akin to inflation with too much money in supply. The same problem is happening with water - freshwater stocks are depleted as more enters the atmosphere, reinforcing climate forcing and driving intense rain events
Global Freshwater Abruptly Declines
The amount of freshwater stored on land and underground has plummeted in the past decade, which might indicate that Earth’s continents have entered a persistently drier phase.

I was told you should never declare a model as the “best” model.
But nobody ever said I shouldn’t call it America’s Next Top Model.
For context: it’s just a glm 😂

So happy to finally get this out there! This was a collaborative, grad student-driven project outside the bounds of our dissertation research, but very much a passion project for each of us. Lots of tangible resources are included - check out Hannah's summary!

I’m working on a manuscript (as one does), and I definitely left work last night after stopping in the middle of a sentence. Do I remember what I was going to write? Nope.
