Looking for a postdoc with a specialization in forest carbon dynamics, climate policy, and nature-based solutions.
The fellow will work at the intersection of forest ecology and environmental policy, investigating the effectiveness of forest carbon offset programs

I cannot tell you how grim the AI in higher ed situation is. Many of the students have completely surrendered to letting AI do their homework, badly, I might add. How do you fix this? Truly, what the hell do we do, beyond what grading can address, which isn't a solution?

There's another workshop scheduled to support this initiative, June 6th, 12pm ET, led by Dr. Katherine Xue, assistant professor at UC Irvine who has written for The New Yorker, Harvard Magazine, and The Conversation. blogs.cornell.edu/asap/events-...

A large proportion of these canceled awards are focused on broadening the participation of underrepresented groups in STEM, which NSF was mandated to do by Congress. At what point does Congress plan to act to restore the balance of power?

They should immediately join together and file a joint lawsuit. Those awards are not made to Harvard, but to them as individuals.

One of *the most impactful programs* from my society was terminated by NSF, but we will not let the program just die like this. We will get through this storm and become stronger, because we have a great community to rely on! Donate if you're able, any bit helps. #iamabotanist #supportPLANTS 🧪🌱🌾🌸

I have two open postdoc positions in my lab that include opportunities to collaborate with @alecaborsuk.bsky.social and researchers at the Salk Harnessing Plants Initiative.

If you’re interesting root system architecture or photosynthesis modeling see below:

Quick look at NSF GRFPs awarded 2021-2025. Overall 50% drop from 2024, with biggest absolute decreases in engineering, life sciences and chemistry.

(sorry about the meh viz, in a hurry)

ICYMI an environmental news roundup. A downer, but it's important to know what's going on.

Important: Most of this isn’t final. It will be litigated in the courts. Stay tuned...

Keep speaking up! Keep pushing your members of Congress! It's making a difference.
