From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

Prescribed burning can reduce the severity and amount of smoke from wildfires that burn those areas later on, even when accounting for smoke from the prescribed burns themselves, according to new analysis of California’s record-breaking 2020 fire season from @soa-mazing.bsky.social etal. 🧪
Setting fire to a million acres of California could cut smoke by half
As California expands its prescribed burning efforts, a study of more than 180 such projects suggests they are an effective way to reduce a blaze's intensity and smoke

Persistent Effects of Landscape Context on Recruitment Dynamics During Secondary Succession of Tropical Forests
In a tropical agricultural landscape, conserving strips of secondary forests along streams had a positive impact on tree recruitment in young regrowing forests. Surprisingly, this effect persisted ev...

Nice op-ed from New Mexico's state forester: we can do better on preventing unintended human-cause wildfires
Let's bring back a proven campaign to prevent wildfires
Nearly 80% of wildfires in New Mexico are caused by human activity. While we can’t control lightning strikes, we can take proactive steps to reduce the number of fires sparked

Some views of recent pile burning activity on Pajarito Ski Mountain. Over 40 piles were burned on this multi-county effort (Sandoval, Los Alamos).
Congratulations to all involved on some great work!
