Tomorrow (Monday) I’ll be presenting on my research from my last postdoc where I used social network analysis to map conservation information sharing across farming communities in Wisconsin. If you’re in Denver come say hi! #NSS2026

Excited to share a new pub with Chloe Wardropper! Using #socialnetworkanalysis, we show that conservation programs can be more effective when designed around existing social structures & info networks in farming communities. #consocsci #ag besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

My heart is sooo full today! Day three of #NACCR2026 was the social science powerhouse day! Two sessions of nonstop #consocsci! I learned so much and met such great people!

Then @scientistsophia.bsky.social gave a great talk on what motivates Mayan farmers to participate in one of the world's largest sustainable agroforestry incentive program. To ensure they keep using those practices, they need to be part of their habits/norms. #NACCR2026🧪

I was invited for my first campus interview in one month at the University of Victoria (EeeeK!!!🥳 ) and would love any and all advice on prepping for all of it: the research talk, a teaching demo, what questions to ask, what to look for etc. Send positive thoughts in this very competitive market!

For a lot of us, losing Twitter isn’t really about losing ties to the company itself. It’s losing 10+ years of real, asynchronous communities, professional development, the ability to get gigs and clients, the ability to promo/share your art on an extremely broad scale. The loss of that has impact.
