We built the first soil carbon model that includes microbial eco-evolution using game theory — and found that adaptation could nearly double global soil carbon loss by 2100. Here is how👇(1/7)

In this review at Nature Cities, led by @ecarlen.bsky.social we explored how religion, politics and war drive urban wildlife evolution by shaping environmental conditions and selective pressures. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Another day testing the limits of resilience.

The Alexandria NSF building was designed for the NSF merit review process (gold standard), complete with a floor devoted to panels.

Now we aren’t allowed to have in person panels.

Just passed by a rattlesnake this morning! It was on a rock beside the trail and I was walking from its back to front, so no chance to see it! I was about 2 feet away from it while it rattled! Instantly jumped away from it. Scary and unforgettable experience!
