Someone lives in the real tree! It's full of walnuts that squirrels were snacking on.

This is like an ad for why tech can't replicate nature. From my local park, we're in a drought, and it's still nice and shady under the real tree...

Reminiscing about the fun field work that led to this paper. So grateful to everyone who was involved!

Are you an early career researcher or professional looking to connect with others studying social-ecological systems? Join us next Thursday for a fun, casual, tree-themed gathering socses.org/early-career...

Spoiler, they're not really empty 🌱🦨🦡🦇

Work weeks like last one are a dream. As part of the Beijer Institute's Young Scholar Program, I got to meet with brilliant scholars from around the world working on theories, models and cases to better understand, prevent and adapt to shocks in an increasingly turbulent world.

A dream to work with these two! This was us the day Katja submitted the paper, at PECS III in the Mont Saint Hilaire Biosphere 😊🌳

From UNESCO sites in 3 countries, Katja Malmborg, Caroline Seiferth & I propose place-based identities and senses of belonging as potential deep leverage points for transformative action-oriented research for sustainability. Check out our new paper: shorturl.at/b5rF9

So cool to see SES researchers calling in from around the world for today's official launch of the @socses.bsky.social Early Career Hub! 🥳

A beautiful final official annual gathering of @nserc-resnet.bsky.social this week. So much cool science coming out of this network. I'm so grateful for this community 💚

Spent Earth day with friends from @nserc-resnet.bsky.social discussing how research networks can support careful social-ecological science from an early career perspective

International day of forests has me thinking about my favourite forest encounters this year. I'm so lucky to get to work with 🌲🌳 and 👥. From @nserc-resnet.bsky.social gathering in B.C. to PECS III in Montréal to @iufro.bsky.social in Stockholm

Some 🌳 species are important to cultures, but this isn't passive appreciation. Looking at ecosystem services + services TO ecosystems, we combined biophysical sampling of trees (122 plots) & interviews (31) in a settled landscape to show cultural sig emerges through active relationships.

Enjoyed the rewilding exhibit at the @museumofnature.bsky.social highlighting the links b/w social and ecological through art. I loved all the pieces but Xecê Khadija Baker's "performing community garden" and Hashveenah Manoharan's watercolours on plants, food and culture especially spoke to me 🌱🌰🍊

The first snow arrived in Montréal! Later than it should be, it really feels like a gift of a reminder to slow down

Offering up my first #thicktrunktuesday to find more tree peeps 🌲🌳
