My superpower is that I’m not affected by poison oak. Look at the lovely colours!

I am also very proud of my intern, Zander Opperman, who wrote a report to assess the cultural changes and collaboration required to bring good fire to university lands. He also participated in the burn crew as a certified type II wildland firefighter!

Lots of cool research was integrated into this burn event where scientist looked at pre/post burn conditions to study biogeochemical responses, soil isotopes, moisture, entomopathogenic organisms, seed and veg recovery, smoke particulates, and nutrient & metal concentrations in water & sediment.

Reflecting on the amazing year in stewardship at Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve ('Ootchamin 'Ooyakma). Here are some highlights, starting with my proudest professional achievement: bringing good fire back to the land by managing a prescribed burn event! jrbp.stanford.edu/news/good-fi...

It’s our Holiday party, featuring a San Francisco Dusky-footed Woodrat nest cake!
This is very upsetting if you knew the lore of woodrats at Jasper Ridge (but I love it!)
Happy Holidays! 🎄

Locking up the field station for the evening! #JasperRidge
