Our new paper is out today @newphyt.bsky.social We investigated the bias involved in woody stem CO2 efflux measurements in tropical forests - including diel and vertical variations, and used TLS to upscale vertical variations and estimate stem surface area nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Woody respiration is an important but unconstrained process in the forest carbon cycle. @mariabmills.bsky.social made real progress in Malaysian Borneo using lasers and climbing giants, so that you don't have to! She came away with great insights. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Trying to come up with the words to say. I'm terrified for our students. We just received an email that an international grad student at UMN has been detained. Minnesota has laws stating police are not required to provide info to ICE. Admin claims no info was given. How can we protect our people?

Trump Unable To Focus In Meeting As Pressure Of Booking Kennedy Center Summer Jazz Series Looms
WASHINGTON—Amid efforts to prove himself as an effective chair of the performing arts organization, President Donald Trump was reportedly unable to focus in a national security meeting Friday, distracted by the pressure of booking the Kennedy Center’s upcoming Summer Jazz Series. According to sources, the sound of his Cabinet members’ voices was essentially white noise […]

ERIs (like Northern Arizona University) are often in more rural areas (such as Flagstaff, AZ), and are more likely to work with rural communities. Trump is, again, shooting himself (and all of us) in the foot with this. My lab has been working to apply to this grant, as many others were too.

Given that the LA fires just cost more than $250B, I’d say that property value impacts of climate change via those effects are not the top economic story.

If you have a story about a program getting cancelled or "paused" and the impact on your community, tell a *local reporter* about it. They will reach audiences no one else will, which will matter to your representatives.

Interesting thoughts, thanks Tim. Perhaps this is discussed more in the book, but it’s hard to ignore the contradictory framework. Control is a dream, but also, control has worked in many cases. ‘Solving’ fire is going too far of course, but aiming high is good imho.

Meh. My answer: turn off the news, love life, and let your work flourish. Getting depressed about global politics is so utterly useless. Flourishing in work that contributes to the world, however, is the only thing that changes anything anyway, and cynicism and apathy will stop that.

That seems overly alarmist to me at this point. There has been no recorded human-human transmission yet. Save your anxiety for something else until it actually hits, if it does. Having said that, no downside to masking, save for the discomfort.
