There is HUGE interested in Biodiversity Credits right now (my LinkedIn feed is buzzing). BCs require a generalizable, standardized measure of biodiversity—essentially a ‘unit of nature’. We present a framework for understanding how methodologies do this. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

My least favorite type of comment about a scientific article is the celebratory policy failure type of comment. Intentional or not, this reads like a “gotcha” moment. Instead, we should all be deeply concerned that such a critical carbon-reducing scheme is not working and find ways to fix it.

When authorities find wildlife that are being illegally trafficked, at ports or airports, the animals are often in terrible shape. Sick, starved, distressed. A pilot project in Southern California aims to get seized wildlife immediate care.

Box turtles. Coral. These illegally trafficked animals still need a good home

Unexpectedly, one of my favorite parts of the post-PhD job search has been reconnecting with old colleagues and long lost friends. It’s really fun seeing where everyone has landed! ✨

We saw the Monarch’s this weekend! Such magic. And also great to see respectful observers watching from a healthy distance.

Seafood is claimed to have among the highest food waste rates. A new paper led by @davelove.bsky.social finds US waste 23%, half of earlier estimates Tackling food waste is critical, but we need better data on when, where & why food is wasted to identify solutions www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Aquatic food loss and waste rate in the United States is half of earlier estimates - Nature Food

Data on aquatic food loss and waste are limited outside small-scale fisheries, and major gaps exist for aquaculture species that make up half of global production. This study estimates loss and waste ...

It depends. If this is in reference to global agreements (and global issues), I feel strongly that there is no real substitute for face time. It's unfortunate but true.

Ever wonder about the range of on-farm yields in #aquaculture? Us too! Check out our new synthesis in @RAQjournal led by @DrCatFong. Unsurprising spoiler, algae are very productive! More interesting, Yields in marine systems were ~5× greater than FW. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Nothing tests your will to see a paper published more than re-writing sections of a (since rejected) manuscript you wrote and submitted months ago in order to meet a new journal’s submission requirements.
