I am unreasonably excited about these Zarges boxes that I got for fieldwork. I feel like a grown-up oceanographer!

Delighted to share new preprint co-led by @fishychrissy.bsky.social and I! Why do population growth rates vary through time? We develop a robust method to quantify the contribution of environmental fluctuations and transient dynamics to variation in growth rate. 1/6 ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

New article out in Ecology Letters! Developing a general math model, we show how cross-stage interactions modify the stability predicted by classic unstructured models. 📄 Population Structure Plays a Key Role in Community Stability. @ox.ac.uk @ifisc.uib-csic.es @ceabcsic.bsky.social @csic.es

Population Structure Plays a Key Role in Community Stability
Population structure is a widespread yet underappreciated feature of ecological communities. Here, we develop a general theoretical framework integrating life-stage structure into community matrix mo...

I'm excited to share that my paper on "The natural history of luck" was selected as a finalist for the Ecology Letters Early Career Researcher award. This is some of my proudest work, so I'm really happy to see it getting recognized! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

I caught up with some mending today: a new mend on one of my favorite tops. I love this lightweight linen fabric that Ann Taylor Loft used for a while, but it’s prone to holes.

Reasons to Live Through the Apocalypse

Sunrises. People you have still to meet and laugh with. Songs about love, peace, anger, and revolution. Walks in the woods.
The smile you exchange with a stranger when you experience beauty accidentally together. Butterflies. Seeing your grandparents again. The moon in all her forms, whether half or full. Dogs.
Birthdays and half-birthdays. That feeling of floating in love. Watching birds eat from bird feeders. The waves of happiness that follow the end of sadness. Brown eyes. Watching a boat cross an empty sea. Sunsets. Dipping your feet in the river. Balconies. Cake. The wind in your face when you roll the car window down on an open highway. Falling asleep to the sound of a steady heartbeat. Warm cups of tea on cold days. Hugs. Night skies. Art museums. Books filled with everything you do not yet know.
Long conversations. Long-lost friends. Poetry.
