Hello! I'm proud to share a new wildfire paper in Environmental Research Letters - California had recent huge fires but tree loss rose much faster, relatively, than burned area. How much is the per-burned-area impact on tree cover losses rising, and why? Paper: doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/ad86cf 1/7

Some coauthors and I got an email from a climate denial agitator posing as a scientist questioning an article we published recently. Clearly written in bad faith but fascinating. We assume that engaging is a waste of time, but what would others do? @krdorheim @k_aleya @rjkrmr

Question for #AcademicTwitter - I know that career progression favors lots of publications... but from an applying-to-jobs perspective, how important is reviewing for journals? I think it's vital to science but I worry that maybe I should prioritize my own work over reviewing.
