This article does a good job of highlighting how so many institutions, including academia, capitulated to the demands of the current administration. In academia, it will take some time to rebuild trust with the communities that academic leaders threw under the bus. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/14/o...

A tribally co-led refuge would protect 9.05 square miles off Carpinteria. Fishers have legitimate concerns about losing productive local grounds—but not a veto. California should mitigate those impacts and approve it. The ocean does not owe us access to every living thing, everywhere, all the time.

Congrats to @uwsafs.bsky.social grad student Olivia Bible on passing her thesis defense today. She’s the first student to graduate from my lab since moving to UW. She examined how to integrate drone data, computer vision & spatial stats in multi-scale studies of the intertidal. It’s cool work.

A good article from a behavioral sciences view that looks at what does and doesn't work in DEI efforts. While folks might not be on board with all their points, there's lots of food for thought in the article. Summary highlights below... www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...
